Shooting Gallery
Release 3.2 September 1, 1994
Nels Anderson
585 Edmands Road
Framingham, MA 01701 U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION: Shooting Gallery is an arcade game with multiple rounds to
challenge your reflexes and aiming skills. To get started either read
the complete instructions file "SHOOT.DOC" or just start up the game and
view the help screens to learn how to play.
REQUIREMENTS: Shooting Gallery runs in 320x200, 256 color MCGA graphics,
thus an MCGA or VGA video card and monitor is needed. It also requires a
mouse. SoundBlaster and compatible sound cards are supported for
digitized sound effects. About 495,000 bytes of free conventional memory
is required to use all features including digitized sound.
SHAREWARE: Shooting Gallery is distributed as Shareware. You are free to
try the game and make copies for others. If you continue to use the
game, however, you must pay the author a registration fee of $15 (#12.95
in the U.K.; see "UKORDER.TXT" for details); in return you'll receive a
copy of the latest version of the program with the shareware reminders
removed and including a larger digitized sound effects library. A
"deluxe" version with binder and printed manual is available for $22.
Please include $2 shipping/handling with your payment, or $4 for deluxe
versions or shipping outside the U.S. Please note that prices are U.S.
dollars. Software distribution companies may include Shooting Gallery in
