********* Welcome to Project 64! The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8- bit computers on the part of the general population. Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original document. However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due to the limitations of plain vanilla text. Diagrams may have been eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible. Program listings may be missing display codes where substitutions were not possible. Tables of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number references to section number references. Please accept our apologies for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions. Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension. The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material for any purpose. This etext is provided "as-is". Please refer to the warantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this etext. No other warantees, express or implied, are made to you as to the etext or any medium it may be on. Neither the author(s) nor the members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of or modification to this etext.

HEKCSC10.TXT, November 1997, etext #305# ********* Hektik CONTROLS Keys: A: Moves up Ladders Z: Moves down Ladders M: Moves Right N: Moves Left D: Digs Hole E: Fills hole or pushes Monster N.B. If using a Joystick: Hold down fire and move down to dig Hold down fire and move up to fill or push monster You are entombed with the mutating monsters. Your only defense is your spade which you carve traps for them. Once you have trapped them you can push them to the level below and destroy them. As you advance the monsters become more vicious and if you fail to push them to the lower level they will mutate and become more difficult to destroy. The mutations only start once you are into Level Two and continue through to Level 16 resulting in ever increasing difficulty. As the monsters mutate in the following order: Red to Green, to Yellow/Red they become more difficult to destroy. Red requires to be pushed down one level only, the Green must drop through two consecutive levels and the Yellow/Red through three. However if you are skillful enough you can destroy them by dropping them on top of each other. Your only limit is your oxygen supply which is displayed on your screen. *********
