 Section 1: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

 To run Shoot-Out, you need the following hardware/software.

  * An Amiga running Workbench 1.3 or above. If there are any A1000 owners
    out there with WB 1.0 or whatever, UPGRADE, UPGRADE!

  * 2 joysticks.

  * 2 human beings (not necessarily friends, but it does help)

  * At least 1.2Mb of free Chip RAM. Gfx files are not loaded into Fast RAM
    and neither are sfx, so you need this amount.

 Section 3: THE GAME

 The basic idea behind Shoot Out is to destroy your opponent five times
 before he does that to you. You do this by pressing FIRE when you want to
 fire a laser. You can only fire one at a time, but they move so fast you
 reload very quickly!
 Player One controls the white ship on the left hand side of the area and
 his/her joystick plugs into port 2 (the GAME port).
 Player Two controls the red ship on the right hand side of the area and his
 or her joystick plugs into the mouse port.
 Move the joystick up and down to manouevre your craft. Press FIRE to shoot
 and dodge the enemies missiles!
 The number of lives you have left (initially 5) is displayed under your
 respective blue bar. When this reaches zero, the game ends.
