We make no warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to the
software described in this document, its quality, performance, or
fitness for any particular purpose. The entire risk as to its quality
and performance is with the user. Should the program prove defective,

THE PROGRAM
Welcome to Combat 2000, although it isn't really yet. This is, instead,
a version of the 'classic' mode that will be found therein. Yes, there
are still bugs, and I'm still nagging Andrew, but the game will
one day be completely re-written (Yippee)! For now, enjoy this
version. For two players only at the moment, all this, and much more
will be addressed in the final version. I'm reluctant to release
features yet, as no doubt, someone more talented (or with more time)
could nick all our ideas before we were done :)
Main gripes at the moment are a lack of music, dodgy bouncing (we know
why this occurs, and it WILL be fixed) and a few missing sound
effects. Anyway, play with this version conscience free, and wait for
COMBAT 2000.
INSANE SOFTWARE
An ever-changing conglomeration of friends and acquaintances. For the
purposes of this game, and wherever mentioned in this text, Insane
Software is:
-Andrew Heap
-Jared Quinert
As mentioned earlier, Hairpin II is already available as licenseware,
with (hopefully) an update appearing soon. Forthcoming releases (in no
particular order) are:
-Screech! (You know what to expect)
-Combat 2000 (Combat/Scorched Earth cross)
-Marauder (Robot combat game)
-Star Wars (Working title for space wargame)
BARTERWARE
We're trying to introduce the use-friendly concept of barterware. Below
is an extract from the readme for our program Screech! Remember though,
Combat is a freebie (for now).
Extract follows:-
Screech! is barterware. If you're interested in receiving the full
version, with many more tracks and a nice management side, then send us
8, US $12, AUS $15 or equivalent goods/service, and we'll send you
the complete version of Screech! We'd prefer the cash, but if you'd
like to send disks, games, BBS accounts, Atari 2600/7800 carts
(Xevious would be cool), old Atari 8-bit software, joysticks, or
anything else you think we could use, then feel free to do so. We may
also include demos of forthcoming releases and anything else we deem
interesting. Alternativ- ely, if you are a programmer, or involved in
the production of shareware or PD games then send us a copy of your
game. We hope to set up a net- work of amateur game developers and share
our skills around. Eg: We need graphics, and can supply music. We would
also like to be able to set up a nice distribution network with our
fellow developers. It would also be nice to have someone else test
our software, and share ideas and suggestions.
End of extract
We like the idea...hope others do too.
