What is Intruder?

   The year is 4592- Mankind has reached out for the stars, and grasped them with an ever tightening iron fist. This is the darkest age of the Imperium: A time when mankind walked amongst the stars with others not of his kind, and his soul tarnished with the soot of de-humanizing technology. . . A time when theft, murder and war where ran malignant through the galaxy. . .A time when an individual had to do whatever he could to survive.

   You're a mercenary who has just cashed in on his latest mission, and waiting for another to start up. You know that on this run down mining planet, it won't be long until someone will be in need of your services. . .

   The game is fairly easy to play: Simply type in what you want to do. If, say, you wanted to go north, simply type "north", or even more easier, type "N". You can choose several basic commands from the "Commands" menu, as this will speed things up somewhat. The game also understands English commands. The parser (the speech center of the game's brain) looks for "key words" in your commands; it will always understand what you are trying to do, providing what you're trying to do warrants the situation at hand. If you wanted to throw a brick at a very expensive vase, and you have a brick in your possession, and there is a very expensive vase within throwing range, then you can attempt this action by stating so in several different ways: "Throw brick at vase", "Throw the red brick at the vase on the pedestal" or "Valiantly throw the sandy maroon brick at the priceless Ming dynasty vase." In all these situations, the game looks for the guidewords "throw", "brick" and "vase", and will react in accordingly. Just keep the guidewords simple. Don't type "hurl" or "toss" or "chuck" instead of "throw": the parser isn't THAT good.
