- GravAttack Version 099
- By Scott Peterson
- Jan 29, 1988
-
- Info for loading:
- If this game won't load for you its probably because there isn't
- enough room in memory for it. This version uses almost 400K. The best
- way to ensure room is to press CNTRL-D during WorkBench boot-up (you have
- to catch it early). Once in CLI, type "Grav099" and press RETURN. It is
- usually best to make a bootup-disk exclusivly for this game. Please
- make sure that the disk is not write-protected so that the high scores
- will be saved properly. It is not necessary to copy "BestScores" because
- the program will automaticaly create it upon execution.
-
- Game limitations:
- In a 512K Amiga, this game is too big to co-reside with other software,
- and too big to be loaded with icons. On Amigas with more than 512K, icon
- loading is allowed, but my game does fret a little and sometimes draws
- vertical bars on the information screens (no big deal). Another problem is
- that the "EXIT" function succeeds only in crashing the system (soon to be
- fixed). I would like to hear from those who find more problems.
-
- Improvements:
- Version 099 now has no problem loading on machines with more than 512K;
- Included is an icon donated by John Ratzlaff to be used with WorkBench. The
- Secret Bonus for level III will no longer give a bonus of negative 32768 FUEL
- points like it occasionally used to. A couple internal changes were also
- made.
-
- Later versions:
- This game still has a few minor problems; I am going to fix as many
- as I can and let out more versions. I also have ideas for improving graphics
- and sounds, adding levels, and making a two player modem version; I will do
- these if response to my game is good.
-
- This game is shareware:
- Feel free to distribute this game on any medium, so long as no fee is
- charged beyond that for duplication. Also, this README must be included
- with the program. If you play this game a lot, and like it, maybe you would
- like to send me a little donation. This will help ensure future shareware
- releases, from myself and all the other shareware authors. With shareware,
- everybody comes out ahead.... except the publishing companies.
-
- P.S. - Who is "The Schmoo"?
-
- P.P.S - My game has been out for about three months now. I would like to
- once again thank those people who have responded, and give a desperate
- plea to those who have not yet written... Please send me money... I
- have to pay for school...
