Other Webfoot Games TwinBlok Why save the universe? Better worry about saving your butt! The Time Spinners do not look kindly on failure. They'll yank your status, terminate your entity, and zap you into the netherest of the nether regions. Your journey begins when Executive Time Spinner (ol' T.S., you know) drops you ill-prepared and poorly armored into the fray, fighting off everything the Razerrians (antiquated holdouts from the Snarr Sector) can drop, kick or throw at you. Blast through their defenses, traverse the 50 levels of time blocks they will use to impede your travel. They'll tantalize you with pictures from your home planet, hurl you through space, instead of merely time, and dazzle you with nefarious patterns reminiscent of the arcades in the Neo-Draconian Sector in a celebrated age long past. It's no cakewalk. Some of the time blocks are deceptive. So what if you fail? So what, indeed! ---------------------------------------- H2O A mind-teasing original. FORTY levels of graphics and mind jarring music. Guide falling droplets to a drainpipe at the bottom of the screen. You won't BELIEVE the smooth scrolling playfield! It's not as easy as it looks, either. Each level is a new puzzle. H2O runs under DOS and requires a standard VGA graphics card. Sound card is optional, strongly recommended. ---------------------------------------- D.R.O.D.: Deadly Rooms of Death A real 'killer.' More news in the obituary columns. (Evil laugh) In order to complete a level, Beethro must destroy all of the monsters and find the exit. When all nine levels have been cleared, Beethro will collect enough money from King Dugan to retire from the thankless dungeon extermination trade and open a restaurant. 'I'll call it Beethro's Roasted Roach Grill!' D.R.O.D. runs under Windows and features detailed graphics and an awesome MIDI sound track. ---------------------------------------- Interpose Fulfilling the Webfoot promise of incredible graphics and music, Interpose is a stunningly fast scrolling action game. The action - and that DOES mean action! - takes place in space. Shoot 3D enemy ships while conserving energy and fire-power. Over 18 levels packed with great graphics, music, and animation. ---------------------------------------- Farocar A strategy game with 200 mind-bending levels. Includes 3 different choices of difficulty per level and a full level editor. ---------------------------------------- Hopy-ONE In the year 2013, seven of the Planetariums decided to initiate a plan to eradicate the F.L.V. (Fast Line Virus), the deadliest strain of mutating virus in the galaxy. The virus caused total population decimation on 17 Astrocolonies. No survivor of the dreaded virus was reported. A team of researchers assembled to obtain a sample of the F.L.V. and devise a vaccine against it. Professor Jonathan Silt was one of the team members sent to the dying colonies. He spent 13 years on an intergalactic base, and was infected, while learning about the infection of F.L.V. The bio-droid, HOPY-ONE, was created in a laboratory Silt had set up to research the virus. Silt was cryogenically frozen in 2026. HOPY- ONE's mission was to collect samples of the virus to aid in the production of a vaccine. The fate of Silt, who waits in cryosleep, and the fate of the entire universe, rests with HOPY-ONE. ---------------------------------------- Keep an eye out for other Webfoot games available through usual shareware channels. ---------------------------------------- 9.

Legal Stuff Copyright 1996 Webfoot Technologies, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ---------------------------------------- SECTION II Instructions ---------------------------------------- System Requirements - 80486 25 MHz or higher - 6.2 Megs of free memory - 22 Megs free hard drive space - VGA graphics card - MS-DOS 5.0 or higher Optional - Joystick - Soundcard (including SoundBlaster and compatibles) ---------------------------------------- Getting Started 1. DOS 5.0 or higher Type 'setup' from the directory and drive where the game installation program resides. Inside the installation program: - Choose 'OK' if the language is right, or choose 'Change language' to change it. - Choose 'YES' if you have a 486-66Mhz or faster. Run 'IPDEMO' to configure soundcard and play. ---------------------------------------- 2. Windows '95 Choose 'Shutdown' and 'Restart in MS-DOS mode', or press F8 while booting and choose 'Command prompt only'. (Gravis UltraSound owner should run ultrinit.exe if Windows'95 has been started). Type 'setup' from the directory and drive where the game installation program resides. Inside the installation program: - Choose 'OK' if the language is right, or choose 'Change language' to change it. - Choose 'YES' if you have a 486-66Mhz or faster. Run 'IPDEMO' to configure soundcard and play. ---------------------------------------- Trouble Shooting In a minority of cases, Interpose may not run after installation. The main areas in which you are likely to experience problems are not having enough free memory to run the game and the sound driver system. You may also find that the game runs, but not at the proper speed. 1. Memory problems You need 6.2MB free memory to run the game, this requires that you have 8MB installed in your computer. If the game tells you that there is not enough free memory, you need to free some memory which is being used elsewhere by other programs. It's most likely that a cache program, like smartdrv.exe, is occupying some megabytes. To free memory used by smartdrv.exe you must edit autoexec.bat, and include a parameter like this: smartdrv 512 Boot your computer again, and run the game. 2. Sound system problems Generally, sound related problems will manifest themselves as the sound not playing, the sound stopping for no apparent reason during play or in the worst case the game will crash. Dealing with the worst problem first, if the game is crashing then it is highly likely that the soundcard's DMA setting is incorrect. Run setsound and through trial and error select the other available DMA settings one at a time and try running the game with them. If the game runs but there is no sound playing, the likely cause is an incorrect soundcard base port address. The sound will not play because the game doesn't know where to find the soundcard in the machine. Try using the other settings and re-running the game to see if this solves the problem. Lastly, if you find that the in-game sound suddenly stops and does not recover, then the problem is likely to be an incorrect soundcard IRQ setting. Again, run setsound and through trial and error try running the game using some of the other settings available. If your initial IRQ setting was 7, try a setting of 5 before trying any of the others. 3. Game speed issues You may find that when playing the game it will slow down in odd places. This will be due to your machine not being able to cope with the game configuration you have selected, i.e. your machine does not really have the power to do what you are asking of it. There are two possibilities for dealing with slowdowns: (a) Change the music quality. If the game slow down on a few occasions only, then you can try changing the music quality (run 'setsound' to do this). (b) Change the graphics quality. High quality requires a fast graphics card and at least a 486-66Mhz. If experience frequent slowdowns, then change the quality in the options to Medium or Low. ---------------------------------------- This program is a demo, or 'try before you buy'.
