Please note: At the time of writing, no emulator correctly emulates
the Multimode used in 'Trakers'. I find CPE2 (from CPE51.zip) the most accurate
(although you need a fast PC).

TRAKERS.
--------


The Plot:

   'Trakers' was the nickname the jolly crew of the 'Starl' inter-galactic exploration
vessel gave their series 013 observation droid.  His sole purpose was to be thrown out of
the ship at every planet they cames across to check for hostile life.

   The galaxy at that time was recovering from severe economic recession and unfortunately
the crew could not afford to buy Trakers any weapons to defend himself.

   Never-the-less many planets were encountered and explored without incident, until one
day as if by fate, they landed on the planet Magellanx.  Magellanx, the dull spot of the
universe, its once great landscapes and proud cities were now left ruined, desolate
and devoid of intelligent life.  The alien wild-life had taken over.

   At first Trakers found everything went okay.  He surveyed a few plants and rocks safely
and decided to go back to the ship to inform the crew it was safe.  On the way back though,
unluckily he nudged his Auto-Sleep Switch against a rock and went into Robo-Sleep.

   The crew waited a good long hour before deciding he was probably chip-dead and sadly,
they left.

   Eight hundred years later, a Speckled Wabe flew onto Trakers head and knocked his
consciousness inducing AI0001-mkII romboard on-line and now finally he is awake again.
Unfortunately though he is marooned on a hostile alien planet with absolutely no way of 
reaching civilisation...  ...Hold on a minute though... Trakers looked around, wasn't that
a rocket he could see in the distance ...?

   You must guide Trakers and help him escape to civilization without being pulverised by
hostile wildlife.  
(-KK).

Good luck and watch out for the Bio-Metallic Cybo-Heads!!
