- Viking Raiders Special Edition v1.2a
- ------------------------------------
-
- This is a conversion of the spectrum classic Viking Raiders! The game is a
- 4 player war game where the players can be upto 4 humans or 4 computers.
- You must battle it out with the enemy and buy armies, catapults and boats
- with which to defeat the other vikings.
- It uses parts of code from the spectrum emulator ZXAM by Antonio J. Pomar
- Rossello and the original Spectrum version was made by FireBird Software.
-
- The Game GUI
- ------------
-
- The game is pretty self explanatory, double click on the icon and then
- click on 'PLAY' to play. Other options include :-
-
- Load VikGame - Loads a previously saved game of Viking Raiders Se.
- Reload - Reloads the current Viking Raiders game loaded
- Save VikGame - Saves the current game of viking raiders
-
- Use Arexx - Loads an Arexx script ] Not available
- Abort Arexx - Quits the arexx script ] yet
-
- Poke - If known allows old spectrum pokes to be used
- Spectrum DOS - Returns you to the original Spectrum Screen
-
- Save Format - Chose the save format for Viking Raiders, most formats
- will allow the save game to be interchangeable between
- Spectrum Emulators.
-
- Once playing the game, 'ESC' will return you to the GUI, from here you can
- do any of the above options, saving will save the exact point in the game
- reached.
-
- The Game
- --------
-
- In the game you will be asked for a demo game, this will show 4 computer
- playings against each other. A guide to the graphics will show you what
- each symbol means. Once you decide to play the game you will have a chance
- to decide how many human/computer players are playing and what colour they
- will be, aswell as configuring their names. Then the game will draw a map
- and you can play, providing the map is accepted by all players. Then the
- War begins!! it is really quite simple so there is no point in me explaining
- it all, if you're playing it youve no doubt enjoyed it on the Spectrum anyway!
