Hints for TOURISTS:
This is for all HACKers who insist on playing with a tourist every single time.
The first time I played HACK, it was with a tourist. I got killed in exactly
five moves, and vowed never to use one again! But with a little experimentation,I have found some things that make being a tourist easier to handle.
1)Check your inventory when you first start out. Fortune cookies? Eat 'em! They
may have clues.
2)Checking your inventory again, look for tins. Got any? Eat 'em! Sometimes,they contain spinach which makes your strength go up - and you need it!
3)Never mind about identifying your potions that you always start with. 99% of
the time, these are extra-healing or healing.
4)Wands seem to be very common around the 2nd or 3rd level. Try to at least
stay alive 'til then...
5)Keep the dog! He is valuable to have until you are 4th or 5th level.
6)The darts are a valuable weapon. DO NOT THROW THEM! Just wield them as you
would any other weapon. If you find a scroll of enchant weapon, you will
be able to kill ghosts(!)
7)Pertaining to the above hint: Stay away from acid blobs or you will most
likely get something like "Your 32 darts corrode!" Not nice. You need all
the pluses you can get on those things...but be on the lookout for a better
weapon anyway.
8)Now we come to the camera. About 90% of the time, I drop it because it is
very bulky and makes it hard (or impossible) to pick up other stuff. How-
ever, it does have the nice property of being able to blind monsters...
try this on a floating eye, and it won't be able to freeze you! DON'T
use on leprechauns if they are ignoring you, because this means they are
asleep and the flash will wake them.
9)To make room for things to carry: Drop tripe rations, cause you can't eat
them. The dog can, however. Also eat tins and fortune cookies right away.
Save potions for "The orc hits! You hear the wailing of the Banshee..."
Drop the camera unless you are faced with a roomful of floating eyes.
