ABOUT TRITUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tritus is a way cool 3-player tetris-style game and more! Tritus is
shareware, although this demo is completely playable, apart from the
shareware message that appears from time to time. But if you like
this game then you MUST REGISTER because of your moral obligations to
poor independent programmers such as myself.
This demo version of the game is freely distributable.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tritus was written on a crusty old amiga 2000, and has been tested on
amiga 500's, 1000's and 1200's, so it darn well should work on all
machines with at least 1 meg of ram.
INSTALLING TRITUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tritus can be run from the workbench, or if you don't like using the
workbench you should create a bootable floppy disk with this startup
sequence:
; beginning of file: s/startup-sequence
CD Tritus
fastmemfirst >nil:
run >nil: Tritus
endcli >nil:
; end of file: s/startup-sequence
The disk must also contain the following files:
c/CD
c/EndCLI
c/FastMemFirst
c/Run
libs/diskfont.library
libs/mathtrans.library
You can get these files from your own workbench disk --- they are not
included in this archive because they are copyright to some big nasty
multi-national company.
PLAYING TRITUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read the in-game docs for instructions on how to play. The game can
be paused by pressing "P", the annoying theme tune can be toggled
on/off by pressing "M", and the game can be exited by pressing "ESC"
at the title screen.
The levels can be easily modified by loading the file
grafix/levels.iff into your favourite paint program and changing it.
If you find the theme tune just too annoying, then just find replace
the file sounds/music with your favourite med-module. The other sound
effects can be modified in a similar way.
REGISTERING
~~~~~~~~~~~
If you register, not only will you get the full version of this great
game but you will also receive ANOTHER great game called R3. R3 is
much bigger than Tritus and you can take it from me that if you like
multi-player games then R3 is also a must. Bruce (who wrote R3) and I
play R3 even more than we play Tritus. Yes that's right we play it
for HOURS on end and you too can experience this together with the
associated joys of missing essays, missing out on precious hours of
sleep and perhaps your sanity, although I will not be held responsible
for this.
The registration fee is NZ$20 or 10 pounds sterling or 10 bucks US.
(WOW, how cheap!) My bank will exchange other major currencies too and
can accept overseas personal cheques. Cheques are probably the
safest/best option, but I'll take anything.
To register, send your (real) name and address and the registration fee
TO my U.K agent:
Tritus Registration
c/o Ellen Johnstone
11 Abbey Rd
Scone
Perthshire
Scotland
U.K. PH26LW
OR myself:
Tritus Registration
c/o Davin Pearson
29 Tika St
Christchurch 8004
New Zealand
You will receive TWO disks - one containing Tritus and the R3 levels,
and the other containing R3 with its very fancy level editor. These
can (of course) be easily installed onto Hard-disk, if you have one.
You should definitely get your disks within a month - if they don't
arrive by then, please start complaining to me.
Davin Pearson.
