Developer Messages

At 210 on each disk, the developer hid a few messages. Note that these were originally meant to be read in 16-line rows. However, to make things more readable, it has been cleaned up and formatted. These are also split by which disk these messages were found on.

Disc 1

Hi there! Spying around, huh? Well, this dir-
ectory looks nice,doesn't it? Believe me it was quite
a lot of work! Took me about one day to figure out
how to organize all the stuff, but I think that it
was worth the effort! Now,what do you  expect from poking a-
round in here? A cheat mode or a guide: How do I
crack this game? Well you won't get the last one, that's for sure
but maybe...

First of all you will get some messages:

Ok, here we go, greetings are flying to:
Kangaroo Musique for opening my eyes according to his New Age Software firm!
Crittersoap  for creating all the music for this game!
Rex for being so patient with all my ideas for him to paint!
Excalibur for helping me a lot with  my loading routines.
Hiroyuki (Jenny) for being such a good friend to me all this time
Marabu for doing the best CPC fanzine there is!
Lore for her hospitability!
Elmi for being the last hope to crunch my game!
See next disc

Face Hugger for creating these amazing effects on our CPC!
Prodi for giving me the idea to write some statements into the directory!
Alien for still being on CPC!
Antoine for in-venting so many cool effects on the CPC

Disc 3

And now to you my peeping Tom! If you want to crack this game:
Let it be! I have spent over 24 months of my life to make all of this
possible  and  I would like to earn some money with it, so keep the 
users buying this game in-stead of copying it! Anyway, you surely never 
get such an enormous game on this Computer again so
I think everyone should be able to spend some money for it! 

By the way, this game just has several codenum-bers as protect-ion 
in it, the disc has normal DATA format! I think if some-one likes 
to play a game he should buy it to motivate the au-thor of it to 
create more programs for this computer! (I hope that at least some peo-
ple will pay at-tention to this unwritten law!) 

This game was created listening to music by:

Springsteen, 4 non blondes, Mr. Big, Roxette, Bryan Adams, 
Tom Petty, Kelly Family, Aerosmith, Chuck Berry, Ace of Base, 
Ugly Kid Joe, R.E.M., Simon&Garfunkel, Nirvana, Die Aerzte, 
George Michael, Dire Strai-ts, Enigma, ZZ Top, Michael


Disc 4

Jackson, J.S. Strauss jr, W.A Mozart, Haydn... The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 
Sister Act, My Fair Lady, Star Trek, Little Shop of Horrors, The Last Unicorn,
Laby-rinth, The Rocky Story, Best of Schwarzenegger, Dream a little dream
and some others!

Special greets to: 
Dilek (call me or write to me!),
Ipek (where in Istanbul are you?),
Regina (you're a funny gal!),
Karin (Same as above!)
and to the woman of my dreams!

I like books of Terry  Pratchett & Douglas Adams, as well as short 
stories like the ones in 'Isaac Asimov's Mag of SF & F' or 'Mag of SF & F'

I also love to read books in the english or french original to improve
my knowledge of the language.

And now to some-thing more important: How to cheat this game!
The entry to the secret world is hidden in one of the BONUS levels.
