View source for Cover-Up At Roswell

In 1996, Virgin Media released a PC game called Cover-Up At Roswell based on the first season designs for The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. The game used footage from seven shows—[[The Darkest Fathoms]], [[In the Realm of the Condor]], [[Ndovu's Last Journey]], [[Manhattan Maneater]], [[Return of the Anasazi]], [[Trouble on the Colorado]], and [[Alien in Washington]]—to piece together a new story. An e-mail in the game foreshadows [[The Secret of the Moai]]. Interestingly, the game features a complete guide to all Quest [[vehicles]] not found in other media, and provides a map of the Quest Compound. It makes full use of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest merchandising graphics and fonts. At the time, Virgin Media's games were aimed at providing action-packed, educational adventures for kids, which largely mirrored the original mission of the show. Voices are provided by season two actors except for Hadji and Dr. Quest, who are voiced by his season one counterpart Michael Benyaer and presumably Charles Howerton respectively. ''Cover-Up At Roswell'' features most of the colorized official art produced for the series in the credits sequence.

==Gameplay==

Scenes from locations in each episode, including the [[Quest Compound]], are shown to the player with sprites of [[Jonny Quest|Jonny]], [[Jessie Bannon|Jessie]], or [[Hadji Singh|Hadji]] in the foreground. Players click entrances or objects to move forward or interact with items in the search for several alien artifacts. Jonny is equipped with three tools to help him in his search, including the Tracking Device artifact radar, a GPS unit, and a homing beacon locater for finding Dr. Quest. Players must often complete mini games through the journey, such as driving a jeep across the African savanna or aligning figurines to open a Mesoamerican passage. Help tips are provided for every stage, narrated by the female Questworld voice (actor B.J. Ward) comparable to EVA from the Command & Conquer series. In certain areas or after particular events, the characters will talk amongst themselves to provide hints concerning what to do next. At times, the player must use equipment to make traveling choices or locate objects.

===Equipment===

Questworld's Operating System lists equipment details (in addition to the [[Vehicles]] listing).

*'''[[Media:EQ_GPS.png|Global Positioning Unit]]''' - Through a satellite uplink, this device pinpoints your exact position. It displays your location on the earth's surface (latitude and longitude) as well as the direction you are facing (north, south, east, west, etc.).

*'''[[Media:EQ_Tracker.png|Tracker]]''' - A portable unit which can locate an object by scanning for the wavelength of its radiation. To calculate the object's exact position (latitude and longitude), the user must move the cross hairs over the object's location on the map. Note that the circle indicates distance from the object.

*'''[[Media:EQ_HomingDevice.png|Homing Device]]''' - A portable unit which pinpoints the location of the person wearing the homing beacon. First, calculate the distance from that person by moving the slider until the white lights start to flash the colored code sequence. Next, copy the encrypted code signal on the colored code transmission buttons. When the signal has been successfully decoded, an arrow will indicate the subject's position.

*'''[[Media:EQ Digitalnotepad.png|Digital Notepad]]''' - A pocket-sized computer that can connect via remote with another computer network. Comes with a tablet interface.

*'''[[Media:EQ_Locator.png|Echo-Locator]]''' - A device which uses sonar technology to display obstacles in your path. Can be used to navigate in the dark. To use, pres the sonar transmission button. The colored lights indicate your distance from obstacles in front of you, behind you, to your left and to your right.

==Plot==

===Manual Teaser===

The manual describes the plot thusly:

In an isolated area of Nevada exists AREA 51, a huge tract of land with underground facilities for top secret U.F.O. research. Recently, several rumors have circulated in regard to the nature of this research, most prominently that the government is trying to use alien technologies to create weapons of mass destruction.

Assigned to guard the secretes of Area 51 are the MEN IN BLACK, a battalion of combat-ready "enforcers" who are under the supreme authority of GENERAL TYLER. Several former MEN IN BLACK have recently been indicted on Federal tampering charges, but this hardly seems to have affected their ruthless policies. They are widely considered to be the most dangerous of all government agencies.
[[Image:General Tyler.png|right|thumb|General Tyler, with his humorously scrawled-over nameplate]]
Like his subordinates, GENERAL TYLER is not to be taken lightly. Openly criticized by many in military circles as a "rogue lifer," TYLER Is recognized by the Pentagon brass as an extremely effective "silencer." Along with his MEN IN BLACK, he has kept the lid on many a classified operation. He was recently placed in charge of SuNaPhen, an embryonic agency designed to investigate supernatural phenomena. Many individuals who have questioned his authority have disappeared without a trace. TYLER has little tolerance for civilians, in particular RACE BANNON, whom he refers to a "loose cannon."

GENERAL TYLER'S hatred for BANNON is second only to that of DR. JEREMIAH SURD, an evil genius whose deteriorating physical condition has left him relegated to a wheelchair. He blames the QUEST TEAM, and BANNON in particular, for his misfortunes and will stop at nothing to destroy them all. it is a safe bet that most QUEST adventures will involve overcoming SURD and his loyal subordinates. His recent acquisition of a portable QUESTWORLD SYSTEM allows him access to the world of cyberspace, a fantasy land where his physical imitations do not interere with his fanatical obsessions. SURD takes full advantage of QUESTWORLD'S ability to bend reality, prompting the QUEST TEAM to adopt a "trust no one" policy.

When a bank of highly sensitive government monitors pick up a "U.F.O. that is entering Earth's atmosphere, GENERAL TYLER is immediately notified. After the "U.F.O." crashes near the remote town of Roswell, New Mexico, it soon becomes evident that it is actually an alien spaceship. Furthermore, it jettisons several objections prior to impact with the Earth's surface. With these alien components scattered across the globe, GENERAL TYLER dispatches the ruthless MEN IN BLACK to contain the situation. The QUEST TEAM knows full well that they must retrieve these objects before their adversaries do.

The stakes are high for the QUEST TEAM - if the secrets of this alien technology are obtained by either TYLER or SURD, there's not telling what sort of cataclysms could ensue. Most likely, i would spell the end of the QUEST TEAM, not to mention the world as we know it.

===Full Summary===

An alien vessel has broken up over the earth's atmosphere. Tracked by governmental monitors, it crash lands in Roswell, New Mexico. The observers immediately call General Tyler, head of the Men in Black; he activates their unit on the spot and commands his subordinates to keep the crash from the public. Meanwhile, at the Quest Compound, Jonny jacks in to Questworld's cycle racing game. While in level two, Jonny helplessly watches as Questworld experiences a system overload. Hadji manages to pull him out before the system completely crashes; Dr. Quest then arrives, revealing that he has received an urgent e-mail and needs to access Questworld's post office. Frustrated with the crash, he tells Jonny to go to each terminal in the compound and perform the system diagnostics necessary to restore access and Questworld's integrity. Jonny first heads to the Laboratory in the barn to restore the security system. The team notice that a strange commercial ship is docked outside. They then return to the lighthouse to fix the network before going to Jonny's room, where the databanks are put back together. It seems bad data was injected into each system.

Dr. Quest is now able to load the databanks, using the Quest Holographic Operating System version 1.6.2, dated September 19, 1996. The databanks are still somewhat damaged, restricting access to e-mail, video enhancement tools, equipment listings, vehicle listings, a scanner, and the hologlobe. Jonny begins checking the e-mails, which include a threat from Surd and a note from "Petey's Eatery" that damages are still expected for Race's behavior in trashing the place after he thought a busboy was a criminal mastermind. The e-mail from Dr. Quest's friend, Bill Schawb, notes that he saw what appeared to be a meteor crash in the New Mexico desert, and that the site was soon sealed off by armed guards. He has sent Dr. Quest a video taken from a weather satellite of the object entering the earth's atmosphere. The video is very grainy, prompting Jonny to use the following filters and tools: ultrasonic, Threshold scan, ultraviolet, infrared, gamma control, and AI interpolation. The picture clearly reveals a UFO entering the earth's atmosphere and jettisoning several objects.

Dr. Quest notices that it jettisons several objects, and phones General Tyler. Tyler is brutish and dismissive, and Dr. Quest begins his own investigation by aiming to find the objects jettisoned by the spacecraft. The Hologlobe is able to track two of the objects, which crashed in New York City's Central Park (later taken underground to N39° 09' 14", W74° 16' 38") and a rain forest near Iquitos, Peru (S12° 25' 27", W76° 23' 43"). General Tyler then calls, complaining of a media leak; the Quests blame it on Surd, who must have lifted the information during the Questworld crash. The Quests first choose Peru as Jessie stays behind to analyze computer data. At the rain forest, the team raft down the river in search of the object, which seems to have been moved. Despite falling off a waterfall, the crew survive and set up camp. The cries of a child in the wilderness spark a search by Hadji and Jonny, who locate a native kid fighting an anaconda. Jonny beats away the snake, but the kid runs as well; the team continue searching after climbing a huge cliff. They discover ancient ruins, and arrange pieces on a small checkerboard to find a lost Mesoamerican city. There, they locate the first artifact. Because Jonny saved the headman's son, they are granted safe passage out via giant condors.

In Manhattan, Hadji tracks the next artifact to an area beneath Grand Central Station in the Quest Helicopter with Jessie on board from the Compound. The team first must find a place to put the chopper down in the crowded skies of New York. At the hotel, they witness another report from Vince Vance that citizens are arming themselves in preparation for an alien invasion. Jonny, Hadji, and Jessie take to the streets and learn from thugs that the artifact has been taken underground. Hadji is worried that the urban legends of a lawless culture of underground denizens beneath the subway system may be true. The team locate a slingshot and a subway entrance, using the weapon to dispel rats. Below, they find a key in a disheveled room before venturing farther below. After dispatching more rats, they use the key to enter an old subway car, where the second alien device awaits. Underworld dwellers launch an assault, but the team narrowly escape.

The next object lies in Tanzania; specifically, coordinates S3° 15' 04", W34° 32' 52". The team lands near a bushman, who tells them that he had seen a vision of their coming, and that the elephant Ndovu has selected them to follow him to the elephant graveyard—where the next artifact lay. The quest begins by a long drive through the savanna. After making camp, Jonny, Jessie, and Hadji decide they cannot wait and head east. They soon locate the elephant and begin following him, eventually coming to a "sticky" wall. Made of intertwined sticks, it prevents their passage until they carefully remove them by layers. Beyond, they find that Nvodu is swimming across a large river with a nearby poacher. They continue tailing the elephant until it enters dense foliage, which they must navigate with a sonar. Once inside the elephant graveyard, they find the component behind several ivory tusks. The two poachers reveal themselves and demand Jonny to hand over the artifact, but Nvodu quickly kills them as the team flee. They're picked up but the Tanzanian border patrol, who challenge them to a friendly game of Mancala. Unfortunately, one of the poachers is still alive and sets fire to the camp, which Jonny helps thwart with an extinguisher.

Next, the team flies to Lake Powell, Utah, which is besieged by a thunderstorm. The object lies at N 35° 25' 06", W 110° 30' 22", deep within Anasazi ruins. They recover it within a dwelling, but are immediately assaulted by Men in Black. Race holds them off while Jonny and Jessie flee with the artifact, eventually discovering a cave passage by piecing together an Anasazi puzzle depicting aliens. They cover several miles until reaching daylight, at which point they hitch a ride to a city in Arizona. There, they book a train, but during the ride the object begins acting as a beacon. With the Men in Black quickly closing in on their passenger car, Jonny and Jessie manage to deactivate it as the MIB helicopter crashes into a rock face. Meanwhile, the Men in Black are detaining Hadji, Benton, and Race. Jessie, Jonny, and Bandit find an old airfield south of Rangely, Colorado after disembarking, and pick the lock to get the ignition key and fuel tester to a small aircraft. Using the settings 92515, they fly slightly east to find where the rest of the team is being held. Jonny wrecks the craft on landing, and acquiesces to the MIBs' demands for the object. As Dr. Quest sighs, Jonny reveals that he actually gave them the fuel tester.

The next alien object lies beneath the seas of the Devil's Triangle. The team head back to the Quest Compound to retrieve the Sea Slug and Questor, and begin a dive with Jonny, Hadji, and Race on board. They must first navigate a precipitous reef in search of the artifact within a shipwreck, to be found at N24° 01' 17", W73° 08' 49". After navigating strange rock formations, they find the Ivory Web, an old gun frigate. They enter through the deck and easily locate the object. Unfortunately, the umbilical providing hot water to the Sea Slug stops functioning when the craft suffers a glitch. Race and Jonny begin making their way back as Hadji struggles to manually reset the controls. He succeeds in fixing the temperature at 98.6 and the flow property at 137, and Jonny drags Race back in before Hadji must rescue him as well. Hadji quickly surfaces the sea slug, and the team head back to the Quest Compound to scan the alien objects. They find the compound was broken in to by the Men in Black, but nothing was taken.

Inside, Jonny and the others scan an alien object and see that most of it is made from unknown material and alien organic material is still on it. Amazed at the thought of the spaceship's passenger's chance of still being alive, they decide to jack in to Questworld to directly hack Washington's computers. However, the process is interrupted when Surd enters Questworld and locks Jonny behind a technological wall, intending to find the alien himself. Jonny easily breaks the three barriers, gaining access to Level 9 clearance for classified phenomena. He first checks the archives, which contains records of old phenomenology case studies. He then checks current records, which reveal that the Men in Black were tailing the Quest Team, and that Surd was "Vince Vance" all along in a bid to get the items for himself. Jonny discovers that the alien is being kept in the basement of the Pentagon and a living autopsy is about to be performed. Surd then boots him from Questworld in preparation to launch his own bid at recovering the alien. The Quest team head to Washington D.C. to release a droid into the Pentagon controlled from Questworld. The droid avoids sentries and locates the alien by heading right and up to the B4 elevator, left and down to the B3 elevator, and then around a complicated maze. Dr. Quest takes the alien to a clearing in the Queststream with Tyler in pursuit. Tyler sicks his guards on the entity, who quickly neutralizes them and Tyler so that no memory of the alien will remain. Using Dr. Quest's communicator, he then hitches a ride to the stars. The Quests depart Washington wondering what their next adventure shall be.

has arisen, however. While doing field
research, I observed what looked like a large
meteor flash across the sky. It then hit the
ground in the nearby desert. Eerily, by the
time I reached the crash site, the entire
area had been sealed of by armed guards.

I managed to get ahold of a video of the
object entering the earth's atmosphere. The
picture's a bit blurry because it was taken
by one of our weather satellites. Please
take a look at it. Look for it with your

RE: New Mexico crash site
Top Secret, Code Dire, Level 8

Alien spacecraft has been recovered,
but is inoperable. It is believed that
key components of the craft were
jettisoned prior to impact with the
earth. The search for that missing
technology is underway, spearheaded
by the top secret House Committee on
Classified Phenomena. The alien vessel
was badly damaged in the crash , but we
have managed to recreate its original
form as a 3-D model (see attached file).

Alien passenger recovered and is
believed to be in good health.
Awaiting results of preliminary
physical examination, after which a
living autopsy will be performed.
The being is capable of acting
as a shape shifter and can take on
a human guise. By assuming the form
of various members of our staff, he
has almost escaped several times. For
this reason, we are moving the
alien from Hangar 19 to a holding cell
in the Pentagon -- Level B3, Sector
5, Room B327.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The alien is kept
behind three locked doors. As we
are informing all staff members, only
one of these doors should be open
at a time. If all three of these
doors were ever opened at the same
time, the alien would be as good as
free. His ability to assume any
form would allow him to escape
undetected.</pre>

==Notes==

===Development===

The [[Hollywood Reporter PC Game Announcement]] provides an early look at the game's development. Budgeted at $1 million, the game was tentatively called ''Escape from Quest World'' and slated for an October 1 deadline release. Virgin Sound and Vision handled all marketing, sales, and distribution of the title, while Turner helped cross-promote. VSV hoped for 20-25 hours of game play for adults and 80-100 hours for children. VSV had the option to make a sequel game, but apparently declined.

*Race makes the comment that the Peruvian rain forests remind him of Da Nang, suggesting he spent time in Vietnam. His relatively young age and recent career with Intelligence One suggest otherwise.

===Audio===

Original music was composed for the game. Cover-Up At Roswell seems to have a distinctive theme appearing in the title menus of the game and the Quest Compound. This theme is arranged with local music flavors for the areas the Quests visit; it gets a strange, more ambient make over for the Utah segment, for example. A secondary theme is used for exploration. Most of the music is featured within the Quicktime files with video, although three suites and one with the distinctive theme are contained in separate AIF files.

You may download the soundtrack in lossy MP3 format or lossless APE format.
