Foggy's Quest

An arcade adventure by John Blythe

Foggy is not your average tourist. He takes his holidays in other dimensions!

One sunny day, he decided to take a trip to the hitherto unexplored "Dimension 52b"

On arrival, Foggy was set upon by the NARGs. They craved the power of his ship's Tri-Crystal Prismatic Phase Engine! They ripped out all the crystals and stole a vital engine part "The Dimension Splicer".

In the frenzy, Foggy escaped into the Dungeon-like caves.

Find the Crystals, Find the Splicer and Find the Ship!

This holiday will definitely be getting a bad Trip Advisor score!

This exclusive version of John Blythe's game features a full musical soundtrack unavailable elsewhere!

Instructions

Once the game loads, the main menu will appear. From here you have the option to choose your control method for the game from Keyboard, Kempston or Sinclair joystick.

The Keyboard keys are listed on the screen. When playing with the Joystick you will still have to use the "I" key to access your inventory.

Select one of the options using 1, 2 or 3 to begin the game.

Once started, your must help Foggy to navigate the alien landscape in search of the stolen crystals from the tri-crystal prismatic phase engine. You'll also need to find the dimensional splicer itself so that he can return home to his own dimension.

You will encounter many foes in your quest as it would appear that Foggy has phase-shifted into a very dangerous dimension indeed. It seems that, according to the planet's inhabitants, the initial attack on his ship was not enough. Now they are looking to stop him at all costs from leaving their dimension alive! Even the surface of the planet itself will sometimes be fatal to our hero so be very careful as you navigate your way around this (very) hostile world.

You will find many objects around the caves and surface of the planet to help you in your quest. Collect them by walking over them. To use items, you must be standing on a blue interaction pad. Press "I" to bring up your inventory and select the item you wish to use in this area. Some items will automatically be active when in your possession. Trial and error will show you which can help you, and in what situation.

If you cannot pass a certain area due to enemies or an obstruction, try looking elsewhere for an answer before returning. Many situations cannot be passed instantly and will require brainwork and, more often than not, a special item or key in order to facilitate safe passage.

Learn the patterns of the enemies and look for clues in the environment to help you proceed and, with luck, Foggy will be able to return to the safety and familiar environs of his own dimension.

Good luck! Trip advisor are waiting for you to get home and pen an absolutely scathing review of Dimension 52b!
