- Crackshot - V 0.8b for the Psion Series 5
- ===========================================
-
- The classic artillery game, only more devastating.
-
- ============
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- Turn on your Series 5,
-
- ****If you've downloaded it to your PC****
- Unzip the Crackshot.zip file.
- Using PsiWin, move all the files to (except the README)
- C:\System\Apps\Crackshot...e.g. you'll now have the directories C:\System\Apps\Crackshot...,
-
-
- ****If you downloaded it directly into the Psion****
-
-
-
- Unzip the file into a temporary directory.
- Create a 'Crackshot' subdirectory in the C:\System\Apps\ path,
- then move all the files into this directory. Delete the Readme file.
-
- Pressing the 'Extras' button (bottom right of screen) will now reveal
- the program icon, select it to begin.
-
-
- If you have difficulty with installation, re-read and carefully follow
- the above instructions, you have probably put the files in the wrong place,
- or named the folder incorrectly.
-
- NOTE: I have not yet implimented D: drive support.
-

- ===========
- HOW TO PLAY
- ===========
- The Menu has a list of the player keys.
-
- There are some basic tactics:
-
- -use ground damage to impede a players movement.
- -use balloons to limit damage when critical hits are imminent.
-
- Your shots as well as your opponents CAN cause damage to your armor.
-
- Occasionally your engineers will be able to fill the damaged terrain.
- Your tank also has the ability to fill a small amount of terrain but
- it is very time consuming (to do so move the tank forward as far as possible).
-
- =========
- Weapons
- =========
- -Currently you have a cannon, nuclear warheads, and balloons.
-
- Cannon, general all purpose, unlimited ammunition.
-
- Nuclear warheads, you have five warheads, severe damage,
- excellent for clearing obstacles (balloons and terrain).
-
- Balloons, defensive; will air burst at an appropriate altitude
- (you'll get the "hang" of it).
-
-
- More on the way!
-
- ============
- REGISTRATION
- ============
-
- Full instructions on how to register are given within the program,
- just select
- 'Register' from the menu.
-
- When you register you will receive a registration code via email,
- this code will eliminate the NAG screens as well as encourage me
- to maintain the game. As it stands, I have several changes planned
- for the game in the near future.
- With your registration you will automatically receive
- upgrades by email.
