Version V1.3 (03.11.1996)

ManiacBall is a multi-ball, multi-paddle and multi-player Breakout clone
with some improvements like:
 - up to 4 paddles at the same time (each on one wall of the playfield)
 - more than 10 balls at the same time
 - great 2 player mode:
   One player controls the vertical paddle(s),
   the other one the horizontal paddle(s).
   Two mice recommended :-)
 - two gfx-versions of the game included:
   - standard LoRes version (320x200), works on ECS, AGA or CyberGfx.
   - improved HiRes version (640x400), needs AGA or CyberGfx.

Other features are:
 - programmed 100% using OS-routines
 - supports different screenmodes
 - works on CyberGfx screens
 - nice music and great sound-fx
 - savable highscorelists
 - loads of extras like shields, laser, warp, etc...
 - 25 levels included (more levels available)
 - great MUI-based Leveleditor included

ManiacBall needs:
 68000 (68020 strongly recommended)
 Kick2.0
 1MB memory
 ptreplay.library (included)

 asl.library v38 (if you want to change the screenmode)
 MUI 3.x (if you want to use the Leveleditor)

History:

   (didn't work with AGA)
   (reported by Peter Schulz)
