- BOOTOUT V5.X (C)1990 AND SQUASH V4.3 (C)1990 PAUL HAYTER
- ============================================================
-
- Bootout and Squash are two tiny games which fit into the
- bootblocks of your bootdisk. BootOut is a breakout type game
- and Squash is a Squash type game (remember the old TV games with
- paddles and a choice of four games). Both are pretty simplistic,
- though Squash was written a long time ago (when I knew nothing
- about programming) and BootOut was written more recently which
- accounts for its different look.
-
- Both BootGames are FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE.That is ,you can copy
- (or install) them as much as you like, as long as they are not
- used for commercial purposes (Who would want to?).
-
- SQUASH
- ======
-
- The object of the game is to keep the ball bouncing in the
- area bounded by the white walls. Everytime you hit the ball you
- get 1 point. After every 5 points you get, the ball speeds up
- making it harder. If you miss the ball, the score is reset to
- zero, and you start again. If you want to continue booting
- your computer then hit any key.
-
- BOOTOUT
- =======
-
- The object of the game is to remove all the red bricks from the
- wall taking up the top half of the screen. You do this by moving
- the bat (at the bottom) to hit the ball such that the ball
- continues bouncing around the screen, hopefully hitting bricks.
- Each brick removed earns you 10 points.
-
- If a ball passes below the bat, you lose one ball. This is
- shown by the version number at the top of the screen. It starts
- at V5.5, and goes to V5.4 when you lose one ball, then to V5.3
- etc. If you go through all 5 balls, the score is reset, and you
- start again
-
- NOTE: If you hit the ball with the corner of your bat, the
- ball gets deflected at a different angle.
-
- If you want to continue booting your Amiga hit the menu button.
-
- INSTALLING
- ==========
-
- There are two programs in this directory specifically for
- installing Squash and Bootout (called InstallSquash and
- InstallBootout). When either is run you get presented with a
- requester prompting you to either INSTALL DF0: or CANCEL. If
- you choose the install option, make sure you have the disk you
- want installed in DF0:. Choosing CANCEL takes you back to the
- CLI or WorkBench.
