Gx-200 Game
-----------
What it is
----------
This is a little game for you to try. Basically you are the pilot of
a Gx-200 transport ship ,which you have to fly around ,destroying
various alien types. The scrolling landscapes are in the form of
mazes which you have to fly around to hunt down the aliens.
It a very simple game to play as all you have to do is fly around
shooting things. A game of Gx-200 will only take a few minuites to
play.
The game is freeware so feel free to copy it ,put it on bulletin
boards etc ,but do not make any money out of it.
This game is for PAL Amigas only.
How to play
-----------
After loading ,start game by pressing F1 as shown in menu.
You control the red ship in the centre of the screen. You can move
up, down , left & right. The playing area is larger than the screen
and the screen will scroll as you move the ship.
The idea of the game is to destroy all the aliens which inhabit the
playing area - do this by blasting them with your gun ( which fires
horizontally). A level is completed when all aliens (and missile guns
are destroyed).
When an alien is destoyed (it may take a number of direct hits) it
will explode and the explosion will continue in the direction the
ship was moving in before it exploded , so you must be careful when
firing at aliens which are coming towards you.
The playing area is constructed in the form of a maze - It is not
possible to fly through the walls.
Contact with alien ships , walls , missiles and any other objects will
cause you to lose a life (you start of with five).
Extra lives are awarded for the completion of certain levels.
There are six levels and none of them are very difficult really - You
need to get to know the levels and how the aliens behave. The
characteristics of the various aliens are indicated by their
appearance.
None of the aliens will try to attack your ship - though some will
fire missiles at you. There are no random elements in this game - all
alien movements will follow a set pattern.
Program development
-------------------
The game was programmed in Assembler on a 1.3 A500 with 1Meg and 3
disk drives using Devpac3 , Dpaint3 and various other utilities.
System requirements
-------------------
The game has only been tested on a 1.3 A500. It may work on a
plus/A600/A3000 etc.
The game will work o.k. on a 512k Amiga.
