1) Special Message from the MMfan:

Thanks for downloading the first RPG I've ever made. I originally released this about 2 years ago, but TIcalc.org never put them in their archives. Well, the original MtSQuest can be found in the 83+ BASIC games archive and you compare the BASIC version to the ASM version. Or, you've already saved yourself some time because I've included it in this version (it's the big .8xg file). It took me a while to complete both versions, but I'm proud to say that they have turned out as I expected them to and I'm very satisfied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2) Getting Started:

(1) Hook up your TI-Graphlink cable to your computer
(2) Start the special software for your calc.
(3) Send the preferred file to the calculator. MtSQuest.8xg is the BASIC version and requires all the RAM and it only works on the TI-83+. Which is why I made the ASM version. MtSQASM.8xp and MtSQASM.83p are the ion versions and should be put on their respective calcs. MtSQMos.8xp is the Mirage version.
(4) If you don't have a Graphlink, you'll have to ungroup the BASIC version and type it in by hand. You can try and type in the ASM version if it'll open up for you, but I will not be held responsible if you screw up the program and your calc blows up.
(6) Enjoy my title screen, press enter, and choose what you wanna do. New Game, Continue, or Quit. Have fun!

3) The Story So Far:

From the story entitled "The Superkid Chronicles: Robotnik Wars: MtSQuest":
 "...I remember it clearly," Marc the Superkid replied cooly. "How could I not? It was only yesterday that I began. It was only this morning that I fought MechAnna, then the Bonds in their Black Robotnik creation, and now, finally, I'm here in your chamber, reminicing."
 "Yes, I want to thank you for that," Robotnik replied. "The Bonds were becoming difficult to control and almost destroyed the planet, which is a task I which to have all to myself."
 "You've become selfish, father."
 Robotnik shook his head and turned away. "Become? Ever since you were born I was selfish. You and your damned brother and sister. Do you know how many factories and plants I had to have rebuilt?"
 Scowling, Marc shot back, "Do you know how many lives you've taken away? Do you know how much pain you've caused? Do you care?"
 "I care more than you know!" Robotnik roared.
 "Only for yourself," Marc sighed, "Only for yourself."
 Marc walked around the room a little, looking over it's design. "You know, this place is kinda cozy, in a disturbing sort of way. But, it's so cold and emotionless. How did this come to be?"
 Robotnik sharply turned and looked at Marc with narrowed eyes. "You want to know?"
 Marc nodded.
 "Tell me your story first..."
 Seeing no harm in this, Marc cleared his throat and began...

4) Controlling Marc:

Main controls:

Move around with the arrow buttons.
2nd brings you to a status screen and asks if you want to use a potion if your HP is less than your Max HP.
Clear quits.
When you get into battle, up and down move through the selections and 2nd/Enter selects.

5) Marc the Superkid's Arsenal:

In this game, you get a better, however fewer, selection of attacks. You get a special at level 2, 4, 7, and 10. Each special takes a certain amount of SP (Special Points). The amount depends on your current level times 5, 10, 15, and 20 (respectively) for the minimum amount necessary. If you don't, you'll lose your turn and be open for attack by your enemy. Also, the amount of SP you put in is how much you get out. If you were at level 10 and did Slash N Dash, you would hit for 50 damage.

6) Known Bugs

Because this is an ASM game, it might be unstable somewhere or give a glitch. I've tested this a bit and so have my testers, so I should've ironed out the bugs. If you happen to find one, contact me and let me know what's happenning. However, if your calculator blows up or anything really bad, I'm not going to be held responsible.
