Quntana Roo?

[eegad]

I recently discovered the game Quest For Quintana Roo on the 2600. It took a while to figure out how to play it / win it, even with the help of the manual that was available here on Atari Age.

 

It also got me to thinking that the name sounded very familiar, but not from my 2600 days....more like from my mid to late 80s, 800XL days. So I took a look through an archive of 8bit games and found it. I just loaded it up on an emulator.....but am stumped. Definitely similar to the 2600 game, but I can't figure out how to do anything. What are the objects on the floor of the temple rooms? (I can't seem to do anything with them) How do I even pick something up? Quite confusing.

 

Can anybody point me to an online manual for the game, or offer up some quick info as to maybe what key commands are available, etc? Much thanks for any help.

Not played this one before but atarimania has some information...

 

The following keys are used...

 

OPTION = pause game

1 = select gun

2 = select acid flash

3 = select chisel

4 = select Geiger counter

5 = pick up map rock

FIRE = enter / exit temple

FIRE = check / use / pick up item

SPACE = select nothing / drop item

 

Type 1830 and 8817 to start at the second and third levels respectively.

thanks, that should help get me started. the chisel & acid flask are in the 2600 version, so i get that. i wonder what the heck the geiger counter is for in this version though.

AtariAge has manual for the 5200 verison, check it out. Except for controller differences, that version is identical.
