→Saving a Game
Make sure that your Device name is no longer than 13 characters. An example of a Device name is: RS232.BA=1200.
====Saving a Game====
As you play an Adventure game, you may decide to stop and continue it at another time.
After completing the Save procedure, the message COMMAND ME: appears. To continue the game, enter the command for your next move. To stop the game, type '''QUIT''' and press '''ENTER'''.
====Reloading a Game====
When you choose to continue your Adventure, respond to the message RELOAD OLD GAME? that follows the PRINTER? message and type '''Y'''.
The program responds with the message DEVICE?. Type the Device name you used when saving the game ('''CSl''' for cassette or '''DSK1.''filename''''' for diskette) and press '''ENTER'''. (See your TI-99/4A ''User's Reference Guide or RS232 Manual'' for additional information.)
'''Note:''' You are limited to 12 characters when defining Device.
If you do not wish to reload an old game, press any key (except '''Y''') to proceed.
====Playing Tips====
Most of the items listed under VISIBLE ITEMS do not appear within the picture.
The computer reads the first 4 letters of each word. For example, the command '''START ENGINE''' can be entered as '''STAR ENGI''' to save time.
Chart your travels by drawing a map.
Be sure to carefully examine the items you find during your Adventure.
Keep in mind that most problems only require common sense to solve.
If you are faced with the possibility of losing the game on your next move, save the game before entering your next command. Then, if you lose, you can reload the game and try a different move.
