Adventure mode

From Carmageddon Wiki

The adventure mode (full name "Carmageddon 3: The Dingable Shuckalucken text adventure") is a special mode in Carmageddon TDR 2000 activated through the console. Entering adventure as a command will start it, but only if the cheat mode has been activated with hereComesTrouble. All of the character's actions are controlled by console inputs.

Overview

The player constantly receives information about their whereabouts as well as other info. They must make their way through a pedestrian-filled environment to reach a goal. This is done by typing where to go and what to do with the stuff around the character.

The player starts off controlling the car, but if it takes too much damage, the player will need to walk on foot. Oddly, the car is still with them. The player must choose which direction to go using certain commands. Once the player moves, the console will briefly list certain aspects around them. It may start raining, a pedestrian may appear, etc. If a ped appears, the player is given the chance to kill it or talk to it.

The player has an inventory that can hold a multitude of different items, amongst them, corpses.

Walkthrough

When the game starts, the player starts the mission "Land of Boronia", according to the console.

The player starts in the main road, "made of hard asphalt", "in a[sic] Eagle". To the East and Southeast is the sidewalk. To the South, more road. The road is pointless now, so head East. You'll be in the sidewalk. Keep going East and you'll reach the Clearing. Go East yet again to enter the Forest. Go two more blocks to the East and you'll find the Black Knight. He'll tell you that to continue, you must give him 10 corpses. Now you have 2 choices, kill the Black Knight, which is not wise, seeing as he is a powerful foe; or kill 10 people and give them to him.

When you're able to go through, you'll find another clearing, and after that, a path. Take the path to the Mansion Entrance or just go the Entrance directly. Now, to the South is the Mansion Hall, however, the door to reach it is too small. You need to run at 50fps at least. Unfortunately, it's not know at this time how to increase the speed.
