"Secret of Pellucitar" Ad
-------------------------

This is the full text from a "Secret of Pellucitar" ad.  The same ad can also 
be found in the October 1982 advertisement of "Secret of Pellucitar" (Arcadian, 
Vol. 4, Issue 12, Pg. 123 - Oct. 7, 1982):


Join the many thousand adventurers exploring the ultimate fantasy experience 
"Secret of Pellucitar"

You are a soldier of fortune in command of the starship Zedra.  A captured 
alien, while dying, has told of a vast silver treasure on a distant planet and 
given you the secret keys.  Great riches lie in the prehistoric subterranean 
city of Pellucitar.  You are hurried there, pushing the Zedra to all possible 
warp speed!

(Side 1) only to find a mysterious force, which can cause temporary changes in 
the tunnel pathways, now occupies the planet and deserted underground empire.  
From a parking orbit you launch your explorer vehicle and guide it downward.  
Choosing one of the many tunnel entries, you skillfully navigate through the 
prehistoric maze of caverns and passageways.  You watch for your chance and 
when the force opens shortcuts you quickly move across, winning the secret 
treasure for your reward.

(Side II) only now do you realize that your 1st mate has taken one of the 
explorer vehicles and is making a run for the treasure.  You quickly descend in 
another explorer, intent on arriving at the treasure first.

This game requires a smooth hand and a sharp eye.  Who will claim the secret 
treasure?

This is possibly the most complete use of Astrocade graphic resolution to date, 
and one of the largest most detailed play fields yet developed for Basic.  The 
amount of definition is fantastic.

Added to this, a fine musical score by George Moses and it has the potential to 
become a classic.

Normally, a picture this detailed in full resolution would require more memory 
than is available in the Arcade program section.  We have utilized a special 
Arcade feature called mass screen memory.  This is almost 4K of memory 
available in this way.  The game operation is contained in the 1.8K program 
memory section.  By using both in a unique way, this game, with expanded 
graphics, is possible.  It is equivalent to about 5K of memory.
