- --Penguin Software--
-
- If you've seen the title screen, you may have noticed that this game is from
- Penguin Software. Before I describe the game itself, I'd like to tell you a
- little about Penguin Software.
- Penguin Software is a shareware only developer. A couple of guys from Jugger-
- naut Software (Nick Bishop) and Impact Productions (Michael Hay) get together and
- slap together a game in about a week. We take a classic PD genre (in this, the
- first in what will hopefully be a long series, we use the Pong genre) and do it
- better than anyone else. We think you'll agree that this is far better than
- other Pong games out there. Peguin's next game will be a Tetrisy game.
- Except it will be better than all the other crap Tetris games that are currently
- out there.
- Incidentally, look out for Impact's newest big game, HYPERACE (available
- soon at your favorite shareware source.) Almost a year in development!
- Juggernaut will be releasing an excellent shareware fighting game in November
- or December, as yet untitled.
-
- --Important Note--
-
- The first time you run the game, you will be asked what processor you
- have. This information is saved in a file called "RefPrefs" in the "S"
- directory of your flopy disk or hard drive. If you want to change the
- processor speed, just delete this file. In case you don't know how, type
- the following from a CLI or Shell window:
-
- "cd <the appropriate 'S' directory>"
- "delete RefPrefs"
-
- --The Game--
-
- At the title screen, press your joystick left or right to select one or two
- players. Press fire when your choice is selected.
- If a two player game is selected, Player Two controls the right paddle,
- otherwise this paddle is computer controlled. Player One always controls the left
- paddle.
- During the game, press up on the joystick to move your paddle up, and down to
- move it down. If you hold down the fire button while pressing in either of these
- directions, your paddle will move faster.
- As play begins, the ball is shot off at a random angle. The idea is to bounce
- the ball off of your paddle and get it past your opponent's while not allowing him
- to bounce the ball past you. The first one to 10 points wins. If you bounce the
- ball near the middle of your paddle, the shot will be slower. The closer to the
- edge of the paddle you hit it, the faster it goes (of course, there's also a greater
- chance you'll miss!). Also, the angle of the ball is more likely to change the
- closer to the edge of the paddle it is hit.
- You can press the "p" key to pause the game. Press any other key to resume play.
- During play, press <Esc> to quit to the title screen. Press <Esc> on the title
- screen to quit playing.
-
- --Floppy Disk Install--
-
- Copy all files and drawers in the Reflection drawer of the archive into
- the root directory of a formatted disk. Insert the disk in df0:. From a
- shell or CLI window, type "install df0:" And that's about it, really.
- Reboot, and it loads automatically.
-
- --HD Install--
-
- To install Reflection to your hard drive, simply copy all the files in the root
- directory of the archive to the drawer of your choice on your hard drive. Copy the
- fonts in the Fonts directory of the archive into your FONTS: drawer. Copy the
- libraries in the Libs directory of the archive into LIBS:. That's it! The program
- runs with no assigns whatsoever.

- --Problems?--
-
- This game has only been tested on an '020 A1200.
- If it is unplayably fast (it's supposed to be fast, though) or
- incredibly slow on your machine, you can also contact us by e-mail. Tell us
- what processor you have, and what the problem is. We'll try and correct any
- problems in future versions.

-
- If you have an '020 A1200 don't complain about the speed because it is
- supposed to be that speed. Also, if you have a 68000 machine, that's as
- fast as it goes. Tough.
