XAfter entering the abyss, your surroundings dissolved in a violent
Xblue flash. You seemed to float through creme-de-menthe colored
Xgelatin for an eternity. Gradually you seemed to be approaching some
Xsurface in the distance.....
X
XWith a noise far louder than a popping soap-bubble, you find yourself
Xstanding at one end of a narrow stone causeway. The floor is of
Xalternating squares of blue-veined orange and orange-veined blue
Xmarble, for an effect rather like the Trump Tower atrium, except
Xworse. The causeway seems to hang suspended in the midst of a great
Xvoid. In the distance ahead the path seems to widen out into a large
Xplatform. A chill runs down your spine and the floor is cold beneath
Xyour bare feet. You notice that all your possessions seem to have been
Xlost somewhere.... All you have is your bare hands and brain....
X
XThere is the sound of a single bell chiming, and the musical tone
Xsomehow reverberates for long moments despite the lack of walls to
Xprovide echoes.
X
XThe note fades.
X
XWith a sudden roar, a blue flame erupts from the center of the
Xcauseway! A strangely familiar voice rings out from it:
X
X"Foolish Mortal! You have entered upon the Adept's Challenge...."
X
X"There is no escape!"
X
X"There is no victory!"
X
XThe flame flickers out. Well, you've really done it this time, haven't you?

XOMEGA OVERVIEW
X==============
Xomega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike
Xother such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on
Xvarious actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on
Xthe hiscore board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild,
Xsect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from
Xpossessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some
Xstructure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the
Xoracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.
X
Xomega offers a richness of playing detail that goes beyond a simple
Xgame like rogue. However, the majority of gameplay is very similar to
Xrogue, hack, ultrarogue, larn, and other such games. The player is
Xrepresented by the highlighted "@" symbol, objects and terrain
Xfeatures are represented by non-alphabetic symbols, monsters are
Xrepresented by the various upper and lower case letters, and other
Xhumans are represented by a non-highlighted "@". It is recommended
Xthat the novice read the man pages for rogue or some other such game
Xand perhaps play a few games before playing omega.
X
Xomega currently consists of a countryside in which are sited a city,
Xvarious villages, several dungeons, and some "special" sites, such as
Xthe temple HQ's of the various priesthoods. The game starts in the
Xcity of Rampart, where all the guilds have headquarters. As a dungeon
Xis explored, all generated levels are saved in memory. However, only
Xone dungeon is "remembered" at a time, so if you enter two dungeons,
Xthe first will be forgotten (it will be regenerated should you wish to
Xenter it again). However, if a dungeon is "completed", this fact will
Xbe remembered, basically meaning that the unique monster at the bottom
Xwill not be regenerated if you've killed him already. In addition,
Xsaving the game in a dungeon only saves the current level, so the
Xother levels will be recreated on reentry.
X
XYou will first want to explore the city of Rampart. Although the
Xarchitecture and important sites remain the same from game to game,
Xdetails such as the precise position of certain shops, etc. will
Xchange. Rampart is relatively safe if you don't wander into places
Xthat are obviously dangerous or do things like breaking and entering.
XIf you are reckless, it is quite possible to get killed before ever
Xfinding the dungeons. The 'M' command now allows you to return
Ximmediately to any establishment you have already visited that game,
Xand is preset to "know" the permanent locations of Rampart.
X
XMany Rampart establishments are only open in the daytime, but some are
Xonly active at night. Due to the stringent anti-crime measures taken
Xby the Duke, it is usually safe to sleep in the streets. You will find
Xit far more rewarding, however, to rent or purchase your own lodgings,
Xif you can afford them.
X
XThe point of omega, though, is dungeon exploration. There are a number
Xof dungeons hidden about the countryside. These dungeons are at
Xdifferent levels of difficulty and have various idiosyncratic
Xdifferences. The easiest are the Caves of the Goblin King, which is
Xdue south of Rampart, in the nearby mountains. The caves must be
Xsearched for with 's' command unless you are lucky enough to move
Xdirectly onto them.

XCHARACTER CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT
X==================================
XYou will have the opportunity to create a new character each time you
Xstart up omega. A random selection of statistics will be generated.
XTo discourage sitting around trying to get an "optimal" character,
Xyou can only "reroll" 9 times before having to reload the game. Since
Xyour statistics tend to go up as you play, it isn't fatal to
Xhave low statistics when you start out. On the other hand, high stats
Xdon't hurt, either....
X
XEach statistic is very important, but depending what sort of character
Xyou wish to play, different statistics will stand out. Combat is
Xhelped by Strength and Dexterity, Magic-use is aided by Intelligence
Xand Power. Agility helps you avoid getting hit and avoid traps, while
XConstitution determines how many hits you can take before dying.
X
XA new option for omega is to "play yourself". By answering a sequence
Xof personal questions, omega arrives at what your personal statistics
Xshould be. It is in seriously bad taste to lie.... Only the character
Xyou create in this mode can be saved to the omegarc. The questions are
Xset up so that a "renaissance man" type of person will probably have
Xstats generally around 14-15. The rest of us will stay around 9-12 on
Xaverage. If you are really impressively good at something you can
Xstart out with a stat of up to 18, but this is pretty unlikely for
Xmost of us.
X
XAs you continue to play, you will hopefully accumulate experience and
Xtreasure. You can gain skills and abilities through various means,
Xthe most important being training in one of the Rampart establishments
Xdevoted to self-improvement. Thus, you can choose to work out at the
Xgym, study at the Collegium Magii, meditate at a Temple, and
Xso on. Certain skills and abilities may only be gained through
Xadventuring, and others are mutually exclusive. For example, you can
Xonly be a priest of one particular deity. One of the appeals of
Xomega is the variety of different types of characters you can play,
Xeach with its own set of goals and benefits.
X
XAnother aspect of your character is alignment. Characters are aligned
Xtowards the primal forces of Chaos and Law, or they can be neutral.
XVarious actions affect this factor; killing peaceful monsters, or
Xcommitting burgalry, for example, are chaotic acts. Alignment
Xdetermines which guilds will let you in, the behavior of some
Xartifacts and monsters, as well as much else.
X
XYour character will gain various statuses, abilities, immunities,
Xetc., both harmful and beneficial. Most of the time these are kept
Xhidden from you, but there are various ways of discovering the truth
X-- self-knowledge is very useful in omega. Remember, the oracle
Xknows all, sees all....
X
XExperience is accrued for skillful actions in the game. As in rogue,
Xone of the main methods of acquiring experience is defeating monsters.
XYou need not kill an opponent to defeat it (you can use the 'threaten'
Xoption of the 't' command, sometimes). There are many other ways of
Xgaining experience, though, including learning spells, deactivating
Xtraps, using artifacts correctly, etc.
X
XExperience goes towards two kinds of character development. First,
Xin the bizarre tradition of role-playing games like * & *, hit
Xpoints and combat capabilities go up as experience is gained.
X
XSecondly, experience gained is shared out to each of the guilds,
Xpriesthoods, etc. that the character belongs to. The more guilds
Xthe character is a member of, the slower promotion will be
X(except in the City Nobility, and among the Gladiators, where
Xpromotion is not based on experience, but on quests and combats,
Xrespectively). Regardless of the number of guilds the character
Xis a member of, overall character level, the first type of
Xexperience will not be adversely affected.

XWHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN
X==========================
X
XMap: The large central area represents a map of the current
Xenvironment. On it, the highlighted @ always represents the player,
Xletters represent monsters, non-highlighted @'s represent other
Xhumans, and other characters represent either objects or terrain
Xfeatures. The map will take up as much of the screen as is possible,
Xso if you are running in a windowing system make the omega window as
Xlarge as it can be.
X
XSince the same character can represent different things or entities
X(even in the same environment), a good command to remember is 'x'
X(examine), which will tell you precisely what you are dealing with in
Xany situation. This is especially helpful before you have terrain
Xtypes like deep pools and lava pits (!) memorized.... You can use the
XCONFIRM option to avoid walking absent-mindedly into a trap, pool,
Xetc. The '/' command will give you more general help, for example
Xtelling you that the ')' character represents a weapon. The '?'
Xcommand can give you either a command list or this file. The command
Xlists will differ depending whether you are in the countryside, or a
Xdungeon or city.
X
XMessages: Directly above the map window is a three line area that
Xshows current messages from the game describing what is going on.
XThe ^p command can show old messages (The last 10 are kept).
X
XLocation: Directly beneath the map window is a one line description
Xof your current location or environment.
X
XStatistics: Beneath the Location line are two lines that show
Xthe current state of the player's statistics such as strength,
Xdexterity, constitution, agility, intelligence, power, mana,
Xgold pieces, carrying capacity, etc. When the value given looks
Xlike number1 / number2, number1 represents the current value,
Xand number2 represents a maximum value.
X
XFlags: In the upper right corner of the omega display, below the date
Xand time, and phase of the moon, you will see four flags: The top
Xdescribes your food status, the second describes your status with
Xrespect to poison, the third your health (diseased or healthy), and
Xthe fourth, your mode of transportation. While you are diseased you
Xwill not regain hit points naturally. While you are poisoned you will
Xtake damage periodically until cured or killed (or the poison's effect
Xcan naturally fade). When your food runs out, and you start starving,
Xyou will take more and more damage as time passes until finally you
Xdie of starvation. It's always a good idea to stock up at the
XCommandant's.... If you manage to acquire a horse, your SPEED will
Xprobably improve (unless you were very fast already). Regardless of
XSPEED, having a horse will save some time in countryside movement, and
Xmay also help out your combat strength. However, horses tend not to
Xenjoy going into dungeons....
X
XCombat Abilities: In the lower right of the display, your current
Xcombat abilities are displayed. These are:
X
XHit: is your current chance to hit with the weapon currently wielded,
X the higher the better. This factor varies with your DEXTERITY,
X experience level, and the weapon wielded.
XDmg: is the maximum amount of damage you can do with a hit. This factor
X varies with your STRENGTH and the weapon wielded.
XDef: is your defensive rating, how hard it is for monsters to hit you. This
X factor varies with your AGILITY and experience level, and with
X the shield being used.
XArm: is your armor rating, how much damage is absorbed when a monster
X hits you before you take damage. Armor only absorbs normal damage;
X various effects and forms of magic may penetrate armor. This factor
X varies with the armor worn.
XSpd: is a speed factor, how quickly or how slowly you move. This factor is
X calculated about a base of 1.00; 2.00 means you move twice as fast;
X 0.50 means you move twice as slowly as normal. This factor varies
X with your AGILITY and the amount of weight you are carrying.
X Every monster has its own speed factor. The maximum speed is 5.0;
X the minimum is ?
X
XMagic spells, special items, and monster effects can affect all these factors,
Xpositively and negatively.

Xand 10 glowing rings, clutching a potion bottle, and laden with all

X
XThe Mormon Tabernacle Choir: Ooooooo -- mega!
X
X A shaft of brilliant sunlight pierces the overcast sky,
Xrevealing a Mystic Portal in the sky. A rainbow bridge lances from
Xthe portal toward the ADVENTURER. As the ADVENTURER hesitantly sets
Xfoot on the bridge, he (with the viewer) is swept through the M.P.
Xin a masterpiece of computer animation. There is a flash of light,
Xand a TRANSFORMED ADVENTURER, in newly polished and chromed armor,
Xwielding a flaming sword, strides confidently toward an edifice that
Xmakes the Castle of Ultimate Darkness look like a sandcastle. The
Xlandscape is vibrantly colored, and we feel that there are new

XTMTC: Magnificat! Magnificat! Magnificat!
X
XBMV: Coming Soon to a site near you!

XSFV: Challenge Omega -- The Final Quest!

XTheogony of Omega,
X
Xbeing an explication of the Ways of the Gods of Omega.
X
XKnow ye, O ignorant ones, that Omega is the battleground of the mighty forces
Xof Law and Chaos. Powerful are the Champions and Avatars of the two great
Xforces, but most powerful of all are the Gods who, it is rumored, have
Xbeen summoned from other planes to represent the two forces.
X
XOn the side of Law:
X
X Odin, God of Vengeance -- followers of Odin vow to eradicate the taint
Xof chaos wherever it may be found. Odin rewards his faithful with the
Xpower to strike strong blows against the Legions of Chaos.
X
X Athena, Goddess of Justice -- devotees of Athena, while prepared to
Xfight the forces of chaos, choose a more intellectual approach to the
Xbattle, marshalling the more subtle powers of magic in their striving.
X
XOn the side of Chaos:
X
X Set, God of Destruction -- worshippers of Set will follow any path to
Xdestroy and corrupt Law and its minions. Set teaches his followers powers
Xequally as potent as those of Odin.
X
X Hecate, Goddess of Illusion -- Hecate matches Athena's wisdom with
Xdeception, and matches Athena's defensive powers with destructive
Xabilities.
X
XFollowers of any of these deities must be careful to keep to the true path --
Xthe wrath of a God is fearsome.... It is also said the Gods are jealous --
Xhonoring another deity, even of the same alignment, is an extremely bad idea.
XOn the other hand, any act against a God of the opposite alignment would
Xbe looked on kindly by your patron deity.
X
XIt should be noted that there are still other Gods of Omega. The Druids
Xthink themselves beyond the struggles of Law and Chaos and attempt to
Xmaintain a Balance between the two -- they are despised by all the
Xaligned Gods. The ArchDruid is said to command powers greater than
Xany other cleric.
X
XThe mysterious Lords of Destiny are said to preside over the struggles
Xof Law and Chaos as a referee rules a bout. Their powers are said to
Xbe extremely subtle and pervasive, and while no one has ever seen this
Xpower displayed, the self-appointed clerics of these mysterious beings
Xclaim great abilities. Certain it is that the aligned Gods have never
Xacted against the followers of the Lords of Destiny, though whether
Xthis is because of their power, or because they offer no threat, is
Xunknown.

XWelcome to Rampart! A guidebook of the Rampart Tourist Association.
X
XRampart is the sole city in this area of LOCUS, a bastion which the
Xwild forces of both Law and Chaos cannot breach. Within the town there
Xis a truce between the followers of Law and Chaos which is hardly ever
Xbroken.
X
XThe visitor to Rampart will enjoy a wide range of divertissements,
Xfrom shopping at Rampart's diverse assortment of shops, to attending
Xgames at the Rampart Coliseum, to a relaxing picnic at the Botanical
XGardens. Distinguished visitors may apply for an audience with the
XDuke, who is said to be the greatest courtier on LOCUS. Others spend
Xtheir nights (and days) gambling at the Rampart Casino.
X
XThe traveller who intends a longer stay in Rampart should check out the
Xvarious guilds, societies, and clubs which protect and employ almost
Xall the citizenry. The Commandant of the Mercenary Guild is always
Xhiring, just for example. Many travellers are attracted to the
XCollegium Magii -- scholarships are available to the qualified.
X
XA few cautions should be offered to the unwary. Rampart's sewer system
Xis dangerous, and while there is ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH to the rumors of
Xtreasure-filled dungeons and caverns beneath the city, many
Xdisappearances each year are attributed to unauthorized excursions
Xbeneath the city. For the larcenous-minded, be warned that Rampart's
XCity Guard is uncorruptible. It is just a matter of time, promises
XMorgon the Justiciar, until the secret hideout of the Thieves' Guild
Xis uncovered....
X
XBut these warnings are surely unnecessary for the vast majority of our
Xvisitors who will be perfectly safe if they act with reasonable caution....

Xmay even discover ye secrets thereof with carful application of

Xinvoke ye Hy Magick but have failed du to ignorance, or fear.
XFor knoe ye this: If Hy Magick be not invoked with exactitude,
Xit will not manifest, so ye mages, ye prentices, ye thaumaturges,
Xye seers: Hearken! And learn ye the proper words of invocation.
XMake sure the word is spoken precislie as I put it herein.
X
X'Death' is said by some to be a blessing, and it may be had from
Xye offices of Hy Magick as I put it.
X
XMany practicers of the Recondite Arts might wish for 'Power', but
Xthis ys truelie not as great an office as one myte desyre, being
Xof strong but ephemeral effect.
X
X'Skill', howbeit, ys a very fortunat benefice of Hy Magick.
X
XLet not ye greed for material possessions best ye, for 'Wealth'
Xdoes not signifie so much as some other choyces.
X
XThe ones who walk the Way of the Druid may have occasion to request
X'Balance' of ye Hy Magick, while other clarical seekers may
Xdesire 'Law' or 'Chaos'.
X
XTruelie, 'Knowledge' is a great thing to gayn of the Hy Magick.
X
XThose poor ones who are afflicted myte well wish for 'Health'.
X
XTravellers culd find theyr destinations with 'Location'.

XShuld a certain ytem of power be beyond thy grasp, 'Acquisition'
Xmought well gayn yt for thee.
X
XThose seekers who learn from ye studie ye beast supernal could
Xwish for 'Summoning'.
