Atari ST Game: Beta Tau (all levels demo)
0Puzzler in which I used save-states and Cheat Engine for most levels after 8 to move the main character to the exit, because screw completing 80 levels of this. It gets insanely hard. The translated instructions/info are as follows:
"The Story.
A week ago you bought a ticket from NASA. You could win a space glider and the planet Alpha 13-05, fifth planet in the solar system of the BETA TAU in the Zodiac sign of the Carter, only 144.6 light years away from Earth.
You won the grand prize!!! After a 144.6 year flight at the speed of light, you land. Since your on-board computer is an Ahh? MI... Ga! is, of course, on the wrong planet.
The inhabitants, green Martians, want to eat you up right away. Globs of strontium marsenide, the Martians would upset their stomachs on you, which you would find very sad. So: GO! Escape as fast as you can!
Once you've blasted through the 80 levels, you'll be beamed to your planet. Great story, right?
This is a shareware game. It may be freely copied and sold by public domain dealers. You can play up to level 8 without the BETA TAU GameList. Anyone who owns the BETA TAU GameList can play up to level 80 and later start playing again at any level (handy if you get stuck in a level). The price is only 20 DM.
The Guide:
After starting the game, you must first enter your GameCode or press return if you have not yet paid the shareware fee. After that, the playing field appears, in which you can move your character with the joystick.
You have to dodge some game pieces, others are useful to you. In the first level you can try out all the game options and thus acquire the basic knowledge for the game.
You can get through all 80 levels if you prove in a few levels how good you can think; in others your playing speed has to be proven. Each level is totally different.
By the way: There is a skip function from level 10: If you fail to complete a level at all and have died in it about ten times in a row, then the secret number for the next level will be displayed on the screen.
You can use the spacebar to take a short break. Have fun!”
