Zap!2000 Release Notes |
Warning: be careful with your handheld! Some people have reported that they have broken the buttons on their Palm by pressing them awkwardly or too hard!
Note to colour users:
Displaying Zap!2000 in colour puts great demands on your Palm IIIc or other
colour organizer. If you find that the game runs too slowly, try one of the
following:
Introduction |
Zap!2000 opens a new era in gaming for the Palm: smooth colour or grey-scale graphics, scrolling backgrounds, more aliens, bigger bosses, more power-ups! Playing it is simple, just shoot the aliens, dodge the incoming shots, and pick up the power-up gems! The further you go, the harder it gets. The boss which is found at the end of each mission has a special attack (watch our for it), but also a weakness that you can exploit to destroy it and move on!
How to install |
After unzipping (or Stuffit extracting), simply double click on the one of the following files to start your Palm Install program:
If you have the registered version of Zap!2000, then the files will be
similar but will have 'full' in their names.
Zap!2000 does not require any databases (.pdb files) to be installed.
Playing Zap!2000 |
Install and run the game on your Palm.
Tap the screen to start a game.

You get an extra ship every 5000 points.
Zap!2000 has a facility to allow you to save your position at key points throughout the game. You can use 'Save game' only at the end of each mission. After you kill a boss you will see a 'Save' icon while the Summary is shown. Tap it and your score, lives and power-ups will be saved at the start of the following mission. You can use the 'Game' menu to use 'Resume game' and continue from where you were.
