README file for ROXX - by PLBM Games
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File Updated: July 13, 1996
Registration information located at the bottom of this file.
Cheat Mode is Alt-F3 (registered version only).
System Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least VGA.
In general, faster systems will run the program more efficiently.
Sound Blaster Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program contains routines to play digital sound on a Sound
Blaster or compatible card. However, this program does NOT
contain autodetection routines. This program relies upon the
BLASTER= variable being set appropriately in your environment.
If the BLASTER= variable is set incorrectly, the program may
crash. If the BLASTER= variable is absent the program will
NOT attempt to use Sound Blaster sound.
Additionally you will need to have free EMS memory to hear
all digital sounds (they're too big to fit in conventional
memory). The sounds deemed "most important" to game play
will be loaded into conventional memory on a first-come, first-
served basis. To hear ALL sounds you will need enough EMS
free to fit the file ROXSFX.DBO. Check free EMS with the
MEM command under DOS.
Key Function: Possible Keys To Use
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rotate Ship To Left: [K] [Z] [,<] [Left Arrow]
Rotate Ship To Right: [L] [X] [.>] [Right Arrow]
Fire Laser Cannon: [Ctrl] [:;] [S]
Fire Thruster Rocket: [Alt] ['"] [A]
Emergency Hyperspace: [Space] [Enter]
NOTE: ALL of the above keys are active all of the time, allowing
a wide range playing combinations. Experiment to find what
works best for you.
Hint: I recommend using the [Z] and [X] keys for rotation,
the [Alt] key for thrusters, and the [Ctrl] key for firing,
leaving [Space] handy for hyperspace when needed in an
emergency.
Additional Keys:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[P] - Pause game
[F1] - Review this file (HELP)
[F2] - Display high score chart
[F5] - Toggle sound on/off
[F7] - Toggle Score Display On/Off (turn OFF for slow machines)

Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
Your mission is to maneuver through the hostile Roxx belts and
destroy as many Roxx as you can. Hindering your efforts will
be enemy craft which navigate the Roxx belts and take shots at
your ships, as well as at nearby Roxx, in an attempt to destroy
your space ship. They are worth a lot of points if you shoot
them.
Note that due to a bizarre space warpage, travelling off the
edge of the universe will cause objects to reappear on the
opposite side of the universe. This may be used to great
advantage in ambushing enemy space ships, which are immune
to this bizarre warpage.
Hint: By shooting many SMALL enemy ships in a row, you may be
able to earn a MORE POWERFUL WEAPON! Try it out...
