alida(冒险岛）官方英文功略

柠檬2099

IntroductionAlida (the band) were extremely successful. When did things take a turn for the worst? The enormous cost of constructing Alida was causing arguments between the band members, at the same time the band Alida was a name that people were starting to forget. Money stopped coming in from sales. Each band member constructed a vault with elaborate systems to protect their respective portion of wealth and these areas of Alida became territories, not to be trespassed by other band members. Worst of all, their manager Kivas entangled a lot of their money in covert illegal deals that started turning around and biting back. Eventually, Kivas convinced the band to store the entire fortune in the Main Vault until things cooled down. Each band member used their respective area to store a part of the final combination to open the vaults. Arin controlled the Switch; Luke the Peghead; Juno the Potentiometers and Leval the Pickup.

Central Chamber(Start a New Game)
You begin Alida on the Balcony facing west overlooking the ocean. Turn right. You are now facing north. (see fig. A-1.) In the distance the conservatory sits atop a rocky outcrop. There are 3 doorways that branch off the Balcony: a square doorway straight ahead; a square doorway behind you; an arched doorway to your right.On your right (in the centre of the Balcony) is an arched doorway entrance, walk through it and continue along the tunnel until you reach the Central Chamber (see fig. A-2) (1 click forward, turn right, 6 clicks forward.)Here you\'ll see giant fingers to your right, various halls and doorways to the left and a giant plectrum at the far end of the chamber. The giant fingers and plectrum were built to show tourists what size the hand and plectrum would have to be to play the Alida guitar. To your left there are three halls that branch off the Central Chamber, each with an ornate cabinet. The three cabinets are independent puzzles.Turn left to see the Moon Tone cabinet hall.

Moon Tone cabinetThis is Arin\'s doorway to the Switch and Conservatory. The Moon Tone cabinet is in the centre of the hall and at the far end, an unusual spherical device. (see fig. A-3.)Approach the Moon Tone cabinet. (1 click forward then click on the Moon Tone cabinet.) Play the Moon Tone by clicking on the levers at the bottom. (see fig. A-4.)In the centre of the Moon Tone are tubular tines, each with a unique icon. If you look at the layout of the levers, they are laid out like a piano, with the \'white\' keys at the bottom and the \'black\' keys above. Try playing the black keys - no luck? There are no black tines... yet. If you look into the moon shaped hole at the top, you will see a black tine. How do you get to it?Turn left. Approach the spherical device. (2 clicks forward.)When each of the cabinet puzzles is solved, the spherical devices will be revealed.Turn around.There is a panel on the back of the Moon Tone cabinet.Approach the panel on the back of the Moon Tone. (1 click forward then click on the panel twice for a close-up.) The panel reads \'87523\'. (see fig. A-5.) Approach the front of the Moon Tone. (step back twice, 1 click forward then turn left.)How can the numbers on the panel be used? There are 8 \'white\' keys, which can be numbered from 1 to 8. (see fig. A-6.) Play the keys in the order of the panel numbers, using fig. A-6 as a guide. If you make a mistake, just start again.The black tines move down into position making the Moon Tone fully operational.Go back to the Central Chamber. (turn right, 2 clicks forward, turn left.)On your left is the west tunnel which we\'ll explore a little later.Approach the next hall - the Number Wheels cabinet hall. (2 clicks forward, turn left.)

These buttons, however, have a dual personality.Press the left button repeatedly and the shape will change.There are 9 shapes of celestial objects and each of the buttons can be set to any particular shape by repeatedly pressing the same button. The Imager holds one more secret.Press the left button repeatedly until the shape is a star. (see fig. A-12.) Move the hand cursor over the hologram to reveal the shape\'s flash code. (see fig. A-13.)There are 9 shapes and each of them has a unique flash code. No matter which button\'s hologram is showing, the shapes will have the same flash code, i.e. the star\'s flash code will always be long, short, short, short.Go back to the Central Chamber.
