Corridor 92 Background
################################################################################
Early January of '02 I decided to start reading some of the message board posts
at http://tict.ticalc.org and noticed that work on the FAT 3D engine coded by
Tom Nussbaumer seemed to be stalled because no one was using it. After toying
with the FAT demos for a while, I downloaded the TIGCC compiler and the source
for the FAT engine and began learning how to use it. I began planning out an
RPG to be called Shadow Scape, but then decided to start with something
smaller. A 3D shooter, similar to the Gameboy game FACEBALL 2000, came to mind.
Thus, Corridor 92 began...


################################################################################
Corridor 92 Story
################################################################################
The Story:

The year is... a long time from now. Corridor 92 takes place in Isus, a
military research center on the moon. The research going on there was naturally
classified, but was rumored to involve something called Quantum-AI, a form of
artificial intelligence far beyond human capacity.
Naturally the Quantum Mainframe known as 'CID' decides that people suck, and
begins to kill every living thing there. Many advanced robotic military drones
and weapons were also at the site and have been commandeered by CID. You are
Master Chief Fortune, a Navy Seal and your mission couldn't be simpler... you
are to penetrate into the heart of Isus all the way to Corridor 92 and destroy
CID before it spreads it's influence to Earth. And you get to do it alone...
just the way it should be. (I said it was simple, not easy)
At your disposal is an array of weapons from your trusty Kabar pig-sticker to
your EM-187b Plasma Pistol. Rescue survivors if you find any, they might help
you... But beware of CID, it's entire strategy for killing you was devised
before your heart finished a beat.


################################################################################
OBJECTIVES
################################################################################
At this point the Demo lacks the ability to render sprites within the FAT
engine, therefor, there are no on-screen enemies, items, objects, projectiles
or any other graphics besides the walls. Because of this, you are given all
keys and all weapons automatically and your only goal is to locate the Elevator
and use it to advance to the next level. Since there are no enemies, it is
impossible to die so just explore and have fun. Some levels have secret rooms,
but hey they are empty! (once again... no items yet)

Known Bugs
################################################################################

*The message scroller is blurry and leaves behind garbage. I know it's broken
 and don't care as it's going to be replaced by a better method of displaying
 text.

*Although Corridor92 Demo hasn't crashed on my Ti92+ recently, I will not say
 it won't crash on your system. If it does, let me know what the circumstances
 were.

Any bug reports are welcome, please send email to Kimbett@hotmail.com
Look for updates or news at http://corridor.has.it
