Thank you for trying VENDETTA.
~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
To run VENDETTA, please be certain that all the files that came with the game
are in the current directory. These files are:
VENS.EXE CITY1.VEN
FINISH.VEN GUN.VEN
PLAY.VEN SIDE.VEN
SIGHT.VEN VEN.VEN
WUN.VEN README.
ORDER.DOC
VENDETTA requires an IBM compatible computer, 640k ram, VGA graphics, and
a Microsoft compatible mouse.
To run VENDETTA, type VENS [return].
~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
The object of the game is simply to shoot the bad guys that are hiding all
around town. Your mouse controls the movement of your sight. When a
bad guy appears onscreen, move the sight over him and press the left button.
If there is no bad guy visible onscreen, there will be an arrow at the top
of the screen pointing in the direction in which he is hiding. To get him,
move your sight in the direction the arrow is pointing. When it comes to
the edge of the screen, the town will scroll from that direction. It will
continue to scroll until you move your sight slightly away from the edge.
(Tip: When a bad guy is off the screen and you're scrolling toward him,
keep your eyes on the arrow. When it disappears, he is onscreen. Stop
scrolling and find him.)
When you've cleared one area of town, there will be a "body count" for
some bonus points, and you will move on to another area.
Now for what makes the game tough. You have only a very limited time to
shoot each bad guy before he SHOOTS YOU! The amount of time varies with
each man, but it is never very long. (Tip: When the word "DANGER" at the
bottom of the screen starts flashing, you only have about 1½ seconds left.)
You have 3 lives.
When the game is over, your score and the high score of the session will be
displayed.
At any time during the game, press the "ESC" key to exit to DOS. Press the
"P" key to pause the game. (Tip: Please try the pause key. VENDETTA has
a built-in screen saver when it's pausing that we're quite proud of.)
