An artifact of a tendency to think up a character or story premise before considering game mechanics. Turns out there was really nowhere to go with this. Uses the map from Sample as a test ground for the character.
Story
Fred Earwigian is a REALLY boring guy. He's lost his only intrest, his pet hare, Myran. Fred left him someplace, and can't find him.
Fred likes avacado juice and mushrooms. These would be good items. A suggested method of attack is throwing certain mushrooms. Others could be eaten.
Instructions
These are pieces of gameware put out to you by A-J Games for use in making a game based on the enclosed material. Please do not modify the character set, character blocks, or .voc files. You may edit the sound set by adding additional sounds and may edit the title screen by adding your name or converting it to another palette. What you are to do is make background blocks, monsters, maps, items, challenges, and all that stuff for Fred to go through, write your own interpretation of the storyline, and add a good ending, instructions, and credits. The game must have at least two levels.
When you think you are done, and have done the best job you can, please upload your finished product onto the Game-Maker BBS. The one with the best game will get a free copy of our entire library, including the never-before-released Return of A-J.
Note: This is just a "contest", seeing who can do the best with the supplied materials, and the game will not be released unless the winner requests it to be. In that case, he will have full credit to it, as long as he mentions in the credits that Fred Earwigian is a copyright of A-J Games and has the A-J Games logo somewhere in the GMTITLE.GIF screen.
