Hogo OS 1985 Edition now has a simulated BIOS that provides new features.
When the game is first launched, or if you are upgrading Hogo OS to a different operating system during gameplay, a string of boot-up text appears (e.g. "Starting Hogocore"). Hold down the delete key for one second while this text is on-screen to enter the BIOS.
Hogo BIOS offers several features:
- HINTS - if you are stuck trying to complete the main quest, this option identifies the section that you're currently working on, and provides information on how to get past it!
- BOOT - Customize the text that you see while the game is first launching.
- RESET - This offers the ability to completely reset the main Dum-Dum story to the very beginning. This option is only available if you have completed the main story.
In addition, there have been a few other updates since last week:
- ROCK RUNNER SAVE STATE - If you are working through the levels of Rock Runner on Hogo/BBS, your current level will now be retained even if you close the Hogonet Reader window. However, you will still reset to level 1 if you quit Dum-Dum completely.
- ROCK RUNNER CHEAT - If you are attempting to get the Rock Runner achievement, you can now use a cheat to jump straight to the random levels at any time. See the in-game Hogo/BBS bulletin board for more information.
- HOGOWORD SHUFFLE - The text book "Win at Video Games" now has tips on how to beat this challenging game.
As always, more updates coming next week.
