ALL REFERENCES TO OUTSIDE MEDIA IS (C) THEIR RESPECTIVE AUTHORS
POKEY QUEST IS A VIDEO GAME FOR YOUR COMPUTER STARRING POKEY THE PENGUIN (APPEARING WITHOUT PERMISSION). POKEY THE PENGUIN LIKES TO HAVE ADVENTURES AND LEARNING IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. HIS FAVORITE ARCTIC CIRCLE TREAT IS THE TASTY ARCTIC CIRCLE-CANDY
POKEY QUEST I: SO YOU WANT TO BE A PENGUIN IS BASED AROUND BOTH THE POKEY THE PENGUIN COMICS AS WELL AS THE SKEPTOMAZE COLLABOTRON (NOW DEFUNCT).
THE ARCTIC CIRCLE, POKEY THE PENGUIN'S HOME OR PLACE OF ORIGIN, IS THREATENED BY THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER MENACE!!! ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION IS LEAKING THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER, AND IS SLOWLY MELTING THE ARCTIC CIRCLE! WITHOUT THE ARCTIC CIRCLE, POKEY THE PENGUIN WILL BE UNABLE TO ENJOY THE TASTY ARCTIC CIRCLE-CANDY!!!! IT IS UP TO POKEY TO PREVENT THIS UNFORTUNATE FUTURE FROM COMING TO FRUITION! USING THE SCIENCE OF ALCHEMY, POKEY THE PENGUIN WILL ABOUND UPON A FANTASIC JOURNEY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ARCTIC CIRCLE MEETING AN ENORMOUS CAST OF CHARACTERS AND FACING FEARSOME AND FEROCIOUS OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY!
POKEY QUEST I: SO YOU WANT TO BE A PENGUIN IS A CLASSIC TURN-BASED COMBAT GAME! BASED UPON GRAPHICAL POINT-AND-CLICK ADVENTURE GAMES, BUT LACKING THE TECHNOLOGY BASED UPON THE OVERPRICED RMXP SYSTEM, POKEY QUEST I FALLS INTO THE TURN-BASED COMBAT ADVENTURE GENRE. CHARACTERS ARE GIVEN INDIVIDUAL STATS, WHICH ARE: HIT POINTS, SKILL POINTS, STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, INTELLIGENCE, AND AGILITY. WHEN HIT POINTS REACH 0, THAT CHARACTER FALLS IN BATTLE! IN ORDER TO USED SPECIALIZED SKILLS, SKILL POINTS MUST BE SPENT! BOTH TYPES OF POINTS MAY BE REFILLED WITH PURPOSEFUL ITEMS. DEFENDING IN BATTLE WILL RESTORE A MINOR PERCENTAGE OF HIT POINTS AND SKILL POINTS!!!!
PLAYERS FORM PARTIES OF UP TO FIVE CHARACTERS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, BUT WHEN MORE THAN FIVE CHARACTERS HAVE JOINED THE PARTY, THEY MAY BE SWITCHED IN AND OUT OF THE CURRENT PARTY AT ANY TIME. EACH CHARACTER IS GIVEN AN INDIVIDUAL "ALCHEMY" SKILL WHICH, WHEN THE ALCHEMY METER IS FILLED, MAY BE USED ONLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ALCHEMY METER.
KEY ITEMS ARE NO LONGER JUST FILLING INVENTORY SPACE! WHEN USED IN BATTLE, KEY ITEMS MAY TAKE ON BENEFICIAL EFFECTS! FOR INSTANCE, POKEY'S GUN PERMIT MAY GIVE AN ENEMY A PAPER CUT, WHILST THINKIN' JOE'S HELMET MAY BLIND ENEMIES WITH ITS GLARING LIGHT!
MORE TO COME!
