Find Kronopolis, the capital city
The game world is randomized for every new game. It stays the same upon a reload. The randomization includes the location of all landmarks, the layout of dungeons and the characteristics of the party members.
As soon as you arrive on the planet's surface, you might want to do three actions:
- Press # to turn off sound (1986 PC speakers are nothing worth it).
- Press H (Halte = stop) then A (accéléreer = accelerate) to speed up movement.
- Press H then C (consulter la carte = check the map) too see a map of your surroundings; the map displays exactly one third of the full surface of Amarande.
Inscriptions tell you how far the city of Kronopolis is. There is an error in the inscription: instead of stating where Kronopolis is, the coordinates provided are the steps thet you shoudl take to get there.
In Kronopolis, after you enter the city, you can do three things:
- A (acheter = purchase): purchase a weapon, some armor, and the key no. 9.
- V (vendre = sell): later, you can sell surplus items.
- H (hôpital = hospital): the status of all your party members will be restored to perfect health; poison (EM) and death (KO) will be cured, too.
Since this is a French game, health care is free of charge, almost[1] as it is in real France.
Recruit party members
There are six locations where you can recruit party members. Said characters are generated at random for every new game. There is a pool of about 20 names, and the class depends on the highest attribute of the character.
Exploring Amarande
There are three more places of interest:
- The spaceport
- The pyramid
- The city of skulls
The first two locations will become useful later, the latter is the next destination.
- ↑ Almost free? In real France, patients have to pay for health care, and then they get fully refunded a few days later.
