If you miss the end text in Arctic Adventure

Hi,

I just finished Arctic Adventure.

Unfortunately, I accidentially skipped the ending text without getting a chance to read it. ()

I don't have a save that's close enough to the ending...

Is there a website, or level editor, that will allow me to view the ending text alone--or, just as good, a way to skip to the last level?

Thanks in advance,

Abdwef

Although there is not any warp, you can just load your last save game and use the cheat code to get all the keys, the boat, infinite ammo, and infinite pick axes.

It would not get you there quickly but it would be easier to finish it.

This is what I could extract from an unlzexe'd AA1.EXE:

END OF THE ROAD...
YOU'VE FOUND THE FIRST PIECE OF THE
VIKING TREASURE MAP. AS YOU BUILD
A SMALL FIRE TO KEEP YOU WARM, YOU
REFLECT ON THE FIRST STEP OF YOUR
JOURNEY. THE MAP IS VERY OLD AND
FRAGILE SO YOU PACK IT AWAY IN A
PROTECTIVE POUCH AND GET READY FOR
SLEEP

AS YOU CRAWL INTO YOUR SLEEPING BAG,
YOU SENSE THAT YOU
ARE BEING WATCHED. LOOKING AROUND,
YOU DECIDE THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN
YOUR IMAGINATION. THE TORCHLIGHT WAS
PROBABLY JUST FLICKERING OFF THE WALLS
OF THE CAVE. YOU SLOWLY FALL ASLEEP,
WITH ONE EYE OPEN, AND DREAM OF WHAT
AWAITS YOU IN THE NEXT STEP OF YOUR
JOURNEY. TOO BAD DR. JONES DID'NT
COME ALONG. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE
GREAT ADVENTURE!...
... PRESS ANY KEY ...

SAFELY PLACING THE NEW MAP PIECE
WITH THE FIRST FRAGMENT YOU FOUND,
YOU SIT DOWN AND BUILD A FIRE FOR THE NIGHT.
YOU OPEN A SMALL CAN
OF BEANS AND COOK THEM OVER THE FIRE.
YOU QUICKLY SCRIBBLE DOWN
SOME WORDS IN YOUR JOURNAL AND
THROW SOME MORE TWIGS ON THE
FIRE. BEING WET, THEY CRACKLE
LOUDLY, BUT THEN BEGIN TO BURN.
YOU ARE FULL, WARM, DRY AND
BORED. REACHING INTO YOUR PACK
YOU PULL OUT A SMALL HARMONICA
AND BEGIN TO PLAY A TUNE. IT
RELAXES YOU AND TAKES YOUR MIND
OFF WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH
AND WHAT LIES AHEAD. THE FIRE
CONTINUES TO GLOW BRIGHTLY AND
CAN BE SEEN FROM A DISTANCE BY
THE MAN WHO IS WATCHING YOU...

DEAR DIARY...
I'VE FOUND THE THIRD PIECE OF THE
MAP AND I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT THAN
EVER THAT I WILL FIND WHAT I SEEK.
I AM GROWING MORE CONCERNED BY THE
FACT THAT I KNOW I AM BEING FOLLOWED.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IT
COULD BE, BUT I AM ALWAYS ON GUARD.
I WILL SLEEP WITHOUT A FIRE TONIGHT
IN THE HOPES OF LURING MY SHADOW
INTO MY CAMP WHERE I CAN DEAL WITH
HIM. I SUSPECT MY FRIEND OUT THERE IS
WAITING FOR ME TO FIND THE
TREASURE CAVE BEFORE MAKING A MOVE.
I SHALL BE VERY CAREFUL FROM HERE
ON... -NEVADA SMITH-

HAVING JUST FOUND THE FINAL
PIECE OF THE MAP YOU LEAN
AGAINST THE WALL AND LET
OUT A HEAVY "SIGH" OF
RELIEF. AS YOUR BACK TOUCHES
THE WALL YOU HEAR A SMALL
"CLICK", THEN SILENCE. YOU
STAND THERE FROZEN AND JUST
LISTEN. SECONDS PASS AND
NOTHING HAPPENS. JUST AS
YOU ARE ABOUT TO MOVE, YOU
HEAR A MASSIVE CREAKING
WITHIN THE WALLS.
WITH NO MORE WARNING, FOUR
GIANT WALLS SLAM DOWN FROM THE
CEILING AND ENCASE YOU IN A
FROZEN TOMB.
IT IS DARK INSIDE, SO YOU
LIGHT A TORCH SO THAT YOU
CAN SEE.
LOOKING AT THE WALL BEHIND
YOU, YOU SEE THE SMALL PLATE
SWITCH IN THE WALL. IT LOOKS
JUST LIKE A BRICK, BUT YOU
SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT. YOU LET
THE ACT OF FINDING THE FINAL
PIECE OF THE MAP CLOUD YOUR
SENSES AND IT JUST MIGHT HAVE
KILLED YOU.
YOU EXAMINE THE WALLS THAT
HAVE YOU TRAPPED. THER IS NO
WAY OUT. THE WALLS ARE GRANITE
AND ARE AT LEAST THREE FEET
THICK. YOU HAVE NO TOOLS WITH
YOU THAT COULD POSSIBLY DIG YOU
OUT OF HERE.
HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN SO
CARELESS? YOU SIT AGAINST THE
WALL TO PONDER YOUR FATE.
A HALF AN HOUR LATER, YOU
ARE STILL SITTING AGAINST THE
WALL STARING AT YOUR TORCH
GETTING DIMMER.
SUDDENLY, YOU HEAR THE WALLS
START TO RUMBLE AGAIN. AS YOU
PREPARE FOR DEATH YOU HEAR
SOME WORDS OVER ALL THE NOISE.
"HEY KID, YOU BETTER GET OUT
HERE QUICK!"
YOU SEE A SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE
FLOOR AND ONE OF THE MASSIVE
SLABS. WASTING NO TIME, YOU
ROLL UNDER THE OPENING. YOU
LOOK BACK INSIDE AND SEE THAT
YOU LEFT THE FINAL MAP PIECE
THERE.
WITH CAT-LIKE REFLEXES,
YOU REACH IN AND GRAB THE MAP
JUST AS THE GRANITE SLAB SLAMS
DOWN FOR THE FINAL TIME.
LOOKING UP YOU SEE THE FACE OF
THE MAN WHO HAS JUST SAVED YOU.
THE MAN IS OBVIOUSLY PLEASED WITH
HIMSELF. "I'D HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THERE IN
A FEW MORE MINUTES ANYWAY DR. JONES"
"SURE KID, I KNOW. I WAS JUST
GETTING BORED OUT HERE BY MYSELF."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY?"
"I HAD SOME VACATION TIME COMING TO
ME AND CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT JOINING
YOU."
"SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING ME."
"YEA, BUT YOU DID'NT NAKE IT EASY.
I'M NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE.
DID YOU FIND ALL OF THE MAP?"
"YES. THE TREASURE CAVE IS CLEARLY
MARKED."
YOU BOTH LEAN OVER AND EXAMINE THE
MAP. YOU SUGGEST AN IDEA...
"LET'S GO BACK TO TOWN, GET CLEANED
UP AND COME BACK TO THE CAVE LATER.
IT'S CLOSEBY AND WELL HIDDEN AND
IT'S WAITED THIS LONG.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. BESIDES, YOU
KNOW I HATE THE COLD."
DR. JONES STARTS TO WALK OFF.
"HEY DOC, THANKS FOR SAVING MY HIDE
BACK THERE. I GOT CARELESS AND..."
"FORGET IT KID. I OWE MY LIFE TO
MORE PEOPLE THAN I CAN COUNT. IT
COMES WITH THE TRADE."
YOU GRAB YOUR PACK AND START THE HIKE
BACK TO THE SMALL MINING TOWN.
"HEY DOC, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE
LOST DIAMOND MINES OF AFRICA?"
DR. JONES LETS OUT A LOUD LAUGH AND
PATS YOU ON THE BACK.
"LATER KID, LATER..."
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS GAME.
LOOK FOR MORE NEVADA SMITH ADVENTURES
IN THE FUTURE...

More Nevada Smith adventures?
Is Nevada Smith in Duke Nukem Forever? George Broussard is still in the Duke Nukem Forever team, right?
Or are you gonna make more Nevada Smith games after Duke Nukem Forever like:
Pharaoh's Tomb 3D,
Arctic Adventure 3D,
Pharaoh's Adventure 3D,
Arctic Tomb 3D,
Nevada Smith 3D,
Nevada Smith Forever,
The Return of Nevada Smith,
Nevada Smith and his Return,
Nevada Smith and the Return of Nevada Smith or
Nevada Smith and the Bloodfire Pendant 3D?

I'd say it's a safe bet there will be no more Nevada Smith games.

Wouldn't surprise me if George doesn't remember the character's name anymore.

What about Apogee Kart? Play as Cosmo, Duke Nukem, Nevada Smith, Major Stryker, and that little dude from Hocus Pocus! Actually, you know what? That idea is so bad, just forget that I mentioned it.

Bad idea or not, it wouldn't be very hard to swap out the graphics for the characters in Wacky Wheels. We would just need some sprites and sound effects for each of the new characters. Joe would probably frown on that idea though.
