[0;1;33;40mY A L C !!![0m [0;1;33;40m===========[0m [0;1m(Yet Another Lode Runner Clone?)[0m Yes, but wait! Mine Runner is a special one! · Nearly original play feeling! · Nearly original graphics! · Nearly original sound effects! · Selected original levels! · Five different Soundtracks! · Up to four player simultanous game! · Supports four player joystick adapter! · Supports two button joysticks! · Doesn't stop multitasking! · Saves highscores! [0;1;4mHow do I play it?[0m No problem! Simply collect all gold. A ladder that leads to the next level will appear if you have done the job. Pushing the button opens the floor to your left or right side temporarilly. Your opponents keep stuck in the opened holes and you can walk over then. Greeeed... In this world, the bad guys doesn't win. If you fail, try again! [0;1;4mHow do I use two button joysticks?[0m Two button joysticks (e.g. the sega mega drive joypad) can be used in the standard mouse or joystick port. If you push the second button to start (instead of the standard button), you will be in the two button mode: standard button digs at your left side, second button on your right side. The pins for the second button are not connected on most four player adapter ports (at least, they're not at mine :^) and so, they're not supported, sorry. [0;1;4mTool types:[0m You can specify some extras by altering the tool types in the game icon. · [0;1mMONITOR=Pal[0m -> Sets the name of the monitor (DblNTSC, Euro36, etc). (works only with Kickstart 2.0 (V37) or better) · [0;1mINPUTDEVICE=OFF[0m -> Disables mousepointer and input device to get full CPU speed. In pause mode and in the level editor, the mousepointer and input device are active again. · [0;1mADAPTER=OFF[0m --> Disables access to the parallel port. Usefull if there is no four player joystick adapter. Data sent to another device at the parallel port will be scrambled otherwise in multiplayermode! · [0;1mPALETTE=A2024[0m --> Uses a special palette for the A2024 monitor. [0;1;4mSpecial keys:[0m · Del: Kill all players on a level. (If someone is in a dead end) · Esc: Quits the game. · F1-F4: Selects the number of players. · F5: Pauses the game. · F6-F8: Selects extra levels. (only for registered users) · F9: Toggles Music&FX and 4-ChannelFX · F10: (Re)start the game. · E: Enters the level editor. (only for registered users) [0;1mOriginal keyboard control:[0m (press F10 and "U" in the title page to start in one button mode, press F10 and "O" to start in two button mode...)

This thing of true magic enables YOU to create new amazing levels for Mine Runner. The editor can create mapfiles (which carry the information of the level structure) and logfiles (which carry information how you tested the level the last time). All files will be saved in the "Levels" drawer. You may send your best levels to me and maybe they will be included in the next release! Let's see... If you want to do that, please put in your mind that I will need the mapfile of the level AND a logfile where you have completed the level! (I am not a good Mine Runner <^: and I have to know how to complete the level) You may send them uuencoded with email. Ok, select a drawing block from the palette at the top of the screen and draw your level by using your mouse. Don't forget to enter the level name in the input gadget for the following four actions: · The "TEST" gadget: Let you test the level while creating the logfile. · The "SHOW" gadget: Shows the actions of the logfile if level was done. · The "SAVE" gadget: Saves the map of a level. · The "LOAD" gadget: Reloads a previous saved level. · The "QUIT" gadget: Quits the editor. [0;1;4mTechnical:[0m · MineRunner does not disable multitasking, so some bad coded screen blankers may blank your screen while playing. This is definitely not a bug in MineRunner! Use BlitzBlank V2.0 or the blanker in MagicCX and you will not have any trouble. · With older kickstarts, the level name cannot be displayed in the input gadget. You can type in the name even if you cannot see it.
