IF NOTGIVEN THIS, THEY COULD NOT BREEDWELL OR GROW TO THEIR FULL CAPA-CITY. 1 V..vs: Plr vs Arct Arct vs Plr 1 THOUGH THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERI-MENT ON BALDU HAD BEEN WHOLLY ASUCCESS, THE ARCTURANS HAD BEENCOMPELLED TO TAKE LIFE IN ORDERTO SUBDUE THE PRIMITIVES. 1 THIS WAS SOMETHING ABHORRENTTO THE ARCTURANS.... SO AS THEYHEADED TOWARDS THE NEXT SECTORON THEIR LIST, THE ARCTURANS HADSETTLED ON A NEW STRATEGY. 1 THIS MADE THE ARCTURANS FEELVERY ALONE. THEY CATALOGUED THEPLANETS ON WHICH THEY HAD FOUNDLIFE, AND ARRANGED THE 700 INTODESCENDING ORDER OF REFINEMENT. TOP OF THE LIST WAS BALDU, THEFOURTH PLANET OF CAPELLA. SECONDFROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST WASTHE THIRD PLANET OF SOL, A STARJUST 41 LIGHT YEARS DISTANT. WECALL THAT PLANET EARTH. 1 THE LACK OF ANY FORM OF COMPE-TITION FOR FOOD, AND THE ABSENCEOF DANGER FROM THE FAARGI ( NOWVERY HAPPILY EXTINCT ) GAVE THESNAILS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW &DEVELOP. AFTER ALL, THEY HAD ALLTHE TIME IN THE ROZ TO DO SO ! BEFORE THE FIRST FISH-ANCESTOROF OURS ON EARTH HAD CRAWLED OUTONTO GONDWANALAND, THE ARCTURANSHAD EVOLVED FROM MINUTE SNAILSINTO COMPLEX FORMLESS CREATURESWITH HIGHLY DEVELOPED, SILICON -BASED CEREBRAL SYSTEMS. COMMUNI-CATION BETWEEN ARCTURANS WAS VIATELEPATHY. AN ADVANCED AND JUSTSOCIETY ESTABLISHED ITSELF: EVILAND CRIME DID NOT EXIST ON ROZ. WHILE DINOSAURS ROAMED FREELYACROSS THE PLAINS OF OUR EARTH ,AT A TIME WHEN THE MOST INTELLI-GENT CREATURE ON EARTH HAD AS ABRAIN AN ORGAN THE SIZE OF A PEATHE ARCTURANS HAD MASTERED THEPROBLEMS OF INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL. BY THE TIME ONE OF THE EARTH'SNUMEROUS SPECIES BEGAN TO WALKON ITS HIND LIMBS AND LEARNT HOWTO USE TOOLS & CREATE FIRE, THEARCTURANS HAD LEFT ROZ TO ROAMTHE UNIVERSE. 1 THE DEATH LORDS OF BALDU SAWTHE ARCTURANS AS A NAIVE,FOOLISHRACE,WELL SUITED FOR SUBJUGATION- FIFTY SQUADRONS OF BALDURIANEPSILON FIGHTERS WERE DESPATCHEDTO ANNIHILATE THE ARCTURAN FLEETPLANS WERE DRAWN UP ON BALDU FORTHE INVASION OF ARCTURUS ITSELF. IT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THEBALDURIANS EVER MADE: UNDERESTI-MATING THE ARCTURANS. 1 THE BOX THAT HELD THE GAME NOWSO VITAL TO THE VIGANS HAD ON ITONLY THE NAME OF THE SYSTEM FROMWHENCE IT CAME 1 THE BALDURIANS,TO THE SURPRISEOF THE ARCTURANS, REFUSED TO LETTHE ARCTURANS LAND ON BALDU.THEYRESENTED THE ARCTURAN CRUSADE TOEDUCATE THEM. THEY ENJOYED WAR -IT PROVIDED THEM WITH A NATURALOUTLET FOR PENT-UP ENERGY. THEREHAD BEEN WARS ON BALDU, AND WARSBETWEEN BALDU AND EACH OF ITSINHABITED NEIGHBOUR PLANETS,EVERSINCE BALDU'S HISTORY WAS CHRON-ICLED. THE BALDURIANS NOW RULEDTHEIR STELLAR SYSTEM. 1 THE ARCTURANS WERE MOST UNIMP-RESSED WITH EARTH: ITS OCCUPANTSWERE VERY PRIMITIVE AND NEEDEDA FEW MORE MILLION YEARS BEFORETHEY COULD BENEFIT FROM ARCTURANEDUCATION 1 THE ARCTURANS WERE BY FAR THEMOST SOPHISTICATED BEINGS IN THEUNIVERSE. THEY WERE BILLIONS OFYEARS IN ADVANCE OF BALDU - THEVERY IDEA OF BEATING AN ARCTURANIN COMBAT WAS ABSURD. 1 THE ARCTURANS LOOKED ON THEM-SELVES NOT AS COLONISERS BUT ASREFORMERS, COSMIC LAWMAKERS. 1 THE ARCTURANS FOUND THE GALAXYSURPRISINGLY DEVOID OF COMPLEXOR DEVELOPED LIFE FORMS. LIVINGTHINGS WERE EITHER IN AN EARLYSTAGE OF THEIR EXISTENCE, UNABLETO THOUGHT-TRANSFER AND TELEPORTOR WERE REMNANTS OF ONCE MIGHTYCIVILISATIONS REDUCED TO DUST BYWAR & UPRISINGS. 1 THE ARCTURANS CONTINUED ON THEMISSION, UNTIL THEY HAD EDUCATEDALMOST EVERY INHABITED SYSTEM INTHE BETELGEUXIAN SPIRAL OF OURGALAXY, EXCEPT THOSE STILL IN AVERY BACKWARD STATE. 1 THE ARCTURAN SAID TO THE VIGAN 1 THE ARCTURAN SAID THAT THE WAYOF THE VIGANS WAS NOT PLEASINGTO THE BEARERS OF THE FORCE: WAR& VIOLENCE HURT NOT ONLY VIGANSBUT ALSO ENDANGERED THOSE ABOUTTHEM, COSMIC DEBRIS AND FALLOUTBEING THE BANE OF THE SECTOR. 1 SO THE ARCTURANS HEADED OUT TOCAPELLA, AND THE EARTH SLUMBEREDON UNDISTURBED. 1 SO THE ARCTURANS SET OFF FOREARTH WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, & INTHE EARTH YEAR 1984 DELIVERED TOTHE PLANET'S ASSEMBLED LEADERS THE MESSAGE THAT THE VIGANS HADSO WISELY HEEDED. THE ASSEMBLED LEADERS WERE STUNNED BUT CONVIN-CED THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE EARTH'S HISTORY, IT WAS VERYNECESSARY FOR ALL THE NATIONS TOWORK TOGETHER. ONLY THEN WOULD THERE BE A CHANCE OF BEATING THEARCTURUS 1 S..SKILL LEVEL (0=Easy, 9=Hard) T..TAPE last played game 1 R..REPLAY played/loaded game 1 Q..Return to main menu 1 Q key to Quit 1 P..PRINTER dump of moves/evals Q..QUIT game, as in Resign 1 P..PRINTER d 1 ON VIGO, THE ARCTURAN'S SECONDTARGET, THE NEW PLAN WAS PUT TOTHE TEST. AN ARCTURAN DELEGATIONTELEPORTED THEMSELVES INTO THECHAMBERS OF THE VIGAN PREMIER, &IMPRESSED UPON HIM BOTH THE AWE-SOME STRENGTH OF THE ARCTURANS &THEIR DETERMINATION TO EDUCATE &UPLIFT THE VIGANS. THE TERRIBLEEND THE BALDURIAN BATTLE FLEETHAD MET HAD SHAKEN THE GALAXY - NOT SINCE THE DAYS OF THE EMPIREAND THE DARK FORCES OF THE VADERHAD THE UNIVERSE KNOWN AS POWER-FUL A RACE AS THE ARCTURANS... THE ARCTURAN AMBASSADOR SHOWEDTHE VIGAN A PUZZLE, SO SIMPLE TOGRASP THAT AT FIRST THE PREMIERTHOUGHT HIS UNWELCOME VISITORS WERE MAKING JEST. BUT HE LISTEN-ED TO THEM, FOR ONE MUST LISTENWHEN ADDRESSED BY ONES EVEN MOREMIGHTY THAN THE JEDI. 1 ON THE OUTERMOST FRINGE OF THEARCTURAN STELLAR SYSTEM LIES ROZ-THE ONLY ONE OF ITS 21 PLANETSAT ALL CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING ANYFORM OF METHANE DEPENDENT LIFE. ROZ WAS OCCUPIED BY A LIFE-FORM WHICH WE SHALL CALL THEARCTURANS. THEIR EVOLUTIONARY TREE HAD A TIME SCALE IMMENSELYLONGER THAN OUR OWN. ARCTURANS SPRANG FROM A SPECIES OF MUTANTSNAILS, LESS THAN A MILLIMETREIN LENGTH. DURING THE SECOND ICEAGE OF ROZ, THE SNAILS WERE THEONLY LIFE-FORM ( OTHER THAN THECOUNTLESS MICROORGANISMS ) TO BEABLE TO BURROW INTO THE ARCTURANKELT (SOIL) & HENCE SURVIVE 280ROZ-YEARS OF FROZEN DESOLATION. WHEN ROZ'S ORBIT STABILISED, &ORANGE LIGHT FROM ARCTURUS CUTTHROUGH AND MELTED THE SULPHURICFROST,THE SNAILS EMERGED TO FINDTHEMSELVES MASTERS OF ALL THEYSURVEYED. WELL, NOT EXACTLY, FORIN THE CENTURIES OF LIVING BELOWTHE KELT THE SNAILS HAD MUTATEDINTO AN EYELESS SPECIES,WHO ONLYSENSED OBJECTS AROUND THEM USINGULTRASOUND. 1 MILLENNIA OF OPPRESSION BY THEFAARGI HAD DEEPLY INGRAINED INTOTHE ARCTURAN PSYCHE A HATRED OFVIOLENCE AND INJUSTICE: THEY SAWIT AS THEIR DUTY TO ERADICATEBOTH FROM OUR GALAXY. 1 LOST ON TIME! 1 JUST WHEN THE ARCTURAN FLEETWAS ABOUT TO SET COURSE TO A NEWGALAXY, ANDROMEDA, A MESSAGE WASRECEIVED BY THE FLEET COMMANDER. IT WAS FROM ONE OF THE HUNDREDRADIO-TELESCOPES THAT WERE AIMEDAT THE SECTORS IN OUR GALAXY THEARCTURANS KNEW CONTAINED LIFE - FORMS, ALBEIT OF PRIMITIVE KINDS THE TRANSMISSION WAS VERY GAR-BLED AND WAS IN A CRUDE,INEFFIC-IENT DIALECT USED NOWHERE ELSE IN THE GALAXY. IT HAD TO BE ANA-LYSED BY ARCTURAN COMPUTERS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT JUST SOME NEW RANDOM SOUND OF THE UNIVERSE ONE POLYSYLLABLE WAS USED OVERAND OVER AGAIN, IT WAS 'MARCONI' - THE ARCTURANS VERY REASONABLYCONCLUDED THIS WAS WHAT THE LANG-UAGE WAS CALLED BY THOSE WHO SPOKE IT. WHAT SURPRISED FLEET COMMANDER WAS THAT IT CAME FROM THE SYSTEM OF SOL, FROM THE TINYPLANET EARTH. JUST THE PREVIOUS DAY ( BUT ARCTURAN DAYS ARE VERYLONG !) WHEN THE ARCTURAN SURVE-YOR HAD EXAMINED EARTH IT HAD BEEN INHABITED BY TRIBES OF DUMBSAVAGES, WHO HUNTED WITH SPEARSAND DIED LIKE FLIES FROM COLD, YEAR AFTER YEAR, FOR THEY KNEW 1 IT WAS NOT THAT LEADERS OF THEEARTH SAW THE ARCTURANS AS BEINGOTHER THAN BENEVOLENT. BUT TOO MUCH WAS INVESTED IN WARFARE TOLET SOME ALIENS PUT IT AT RISK..FURTHER, JUSTICE,LIBERTY & MOSTOF ALL THE ABOLITION OF RELIGIONAND GOVERNMENT WERE LOOKED UPON AS HERESY BY THOSE IN POWER.WILDPLANS TO DESTROY THE ARCTURANS WERE CONCOCTED.NO MENTION OF THEARCTURAN ALTERNATIVE WAS MADE TOTHE PUBLIC- INSTEAD, THE WORLD'SFORCES PREPARED FOR GLOBAL NUCL-EAR WAR. 1 IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING,THE ARCTURANS ARRANGEDFOR A SELECTION OF EARTHLINGS TOBE INFORMED ABOUT THE ARCTURAN MISSION, NEWS WITHHELD FROM THEMBY THEIR GOVERNMENTS. 1 IN A FEW SECONDS YOU WILL BE SHOWN THE RULES OF THE ARCTURAN PUZZLE, AND THEN YOU WILL MEET ARCTURUS IN MENTAL COMBAT 1 ILLEGAL MOVE 1 IF YOU LOOK TO THE SKY ONECLEAR SPRING NIGHT, YOU WILL SEEDIRECTLY OVERHEAD, THE ANCIENTCONSTELLATION OF BOOTES, ALSOKNOWN AS THE HERDSMAN. A BRIGHTORANGE STAR DOMINATES THE GROUP:THAT IS ARCTURUS. 1 GAME IS DRAWN 1 FROM MISSION CONTROL,POISED ONTHE FAR SIDE OF JUPITER,ARCTURANLISTENING STATIONS MONITORED THEEARTH'S RESPONSE WITH GROWING DISMAY. THEY WERE SURE NO ONE ONEARTH COULD POSSIBLY VANQUISH A LEVEL 9 ARCTURUS (ONLY ONCE HAD LEVEL 9 LOST A GAME SINCE THE DAYS OF THE BALDURIANS, AND THATWAS SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN DUE TO A TEMPORARY MACHINE FAILURE).BUT THE LEADERS OF EARTH SEEMED RESOLUTE ON USING FORCE TO'SAVE'THEIR PLANET. THE ARCTURANS KNEWTHEY COULD EASILY OVERCOME HUMANRESISTANCE, BUT NOT WITHOUT A GREAT DEAL OF HUMAN BLOOD BEING SPILT. 1 F..Go Forward one move 1 BEFORE LEAVING ARCTURUS, THEARCTURANS SCANNED THE CONTINUUMAROUND WITH A SEARCH-RADIUS OF 5THOUSAND LIGHT - YEARS, WITH THEAIM OF DETECTING ADVANCED LIFE -FORMS.... 1 B..Go Back one move 1 B key to retract moves 1 Arct vs Arct Plr vs Plr Y..TIME SETTING(sec/mov,min/gam)Z..TIME LIMIT(1-99 s/m,1-21 m/g) 1 AUDIO: PRINT: EVALUATION: 1 ARCTURUS IS A SUPERGIANT, NOTJUST TEN OR TWENTY BUT A MILLIONTIMES AS LARGE AS OUR OWN SUN...ITS COLOURS ARE SO BRILLIANT, SODAZZLING THAT EVEN FROM EARTH,200,000 BILLION MILES AWAY, ITGLOWS LIKE A FIERY BEACON IN THEHEAVENS. 1 ARCTURUS HAD TEN SKILL LEVELS,SO THE VIGANS COULD PRACTICE ATIT AND GROW BETTER. EACH SKILLLEVEL WAS HARDER THAN ITS PREDE-CESSOR, AND ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF VIGANS COULD DEFEAT ARCTURUS AT ITS LEVEL 8. EVEN THOUGH ALLTHE VIGANS TRIED (ARCTURUS EVENREPLACED THEOLOGY IN VIGAN QUIGSie SCHOOLS) NO ONE COULD BEAT ITAT LEVEL 9.... 1 ARCTURUS 1 ARCTURAN SCIENCE HAD GIVEN ITSSOCIETY WEAPONRY SO AWESOME THATIT COULD DESTROY AN ENTIRE SOLARSYSTEM IN AN INSTANT. OF COURSETHERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY INTENT-ION OF USING THE DOOMSDAY DEVICEEXCEPT IN SELF-DEFENCE. 1 AND SO VIGO FOLLOWED BALDU. 1 AFTER NEUTRALIZING THE BALDU'SFORCES THE ARCTURANS SET ABOUTTHEIR ORIGINAL MISSION. IT TOOKA LONG TIME, BUT SELECTIVE BREED-ING TECHNIQUES GRADUALLY FILTER-ED AWAY THE WARLIKE STRAINS OFTHE BALDURIANS. GENES RELATED TOAGGRESSION WERE BIOCHEMICALLY &MICROSURGICALLY SUPPRESSED....
