VGA Kix 1.0
By

Introduction:
Kix is an arcade style video game for the PC similar to the old Taito
arcade game Qix. Using your stylus, you attempt to draw areas on the
game board without getting caught by the Kix or other opponents. You
complete a level after you have claimed a certain percentage of the
total board. Higher levels have wilder Kix; eventually you must deal
with two Kix! Requires a fast 286 PC or better with VGA. Support for
keyboard and joystick control with PC speaker sound effects included.
Distribution:
This program is FREEWARE and is released into the public domain. It may
be freely distributed so long as the original archive file nor any of its
contents are modified in any way.
Installation:
Create a directory for the program files, e.g.: mkdir \games\kix. Using
PKZIP 2.04g, unzip the program files into the directory just created.
Then, type kix to begin. YOUR CURRENT DIRECTORY MUST BE WHERE THE
PROGRAM FILES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. If all goes well, the main menu will
be displayed which contains information on configuring the program and
setting options.
Background Files:
One of the nice features of the program is to display background images
when you uncover pieces of the board. These images are available in
another archive called KIXBACK.ZIP which should be available wherever you
obtained the main program files.
Information on contacting the author is included with the on-line help.
