- In order for the game to work properly you must use the E command for
- lharc, as:
- LHARC -x E TREK
-
- The switch -x is extremely important. This will create the
- appropriate directory (EDIT_FILES) where the title screen and the game
- itself must be kept. I have encountered no problem running this game
- from a RAM disk or from the hard disk as long as the directory
- EDIT_FILES is located within the current directory. IF YOU DID NOT
- USE THE -x SWITCH, PLEASE LHARC THE FILE AGAIN! You should find the
- following files:
-
- trek.readme ---------- what you are reading now
- trek ----------------- the loader program
- trek.info ------------ icon for the loader
- the logo ------------- S.E.U.C.K. logo screen
- edit_files/trek ------ the title screen
- edit_files/trek.all -- the actual game itself
-
- Feel free to distribute the archive file TREK.LZH all you want, but
- please be sure all the files mentioned above remain INTACT in the
- archive.
-
- This is STAR TREK: The Arcade Game (no relation whatsoever to the SEGA
- classic, mind you!). Star Trek is, of course, a registered trade mark
- of Paramount which is a division of Gulf & Western. I created this in
- a few weekends with the Shoot'Em Up Constructions Kit. It is entirely
- my own creation (beyond some of the shapes which I blatantly copied
- from the original TV series), except for one sampled sound I got off
- the Star Trek IV Compact Disk. I think you can figure out which one
- it is rather easily.
-
- The game itself is quite simple. There are 10 levels and you are to
- shoot at anything that moves! Only two things in this game will not
- harm you: 1) Star Bases (those big ugly green things with blinking
- lights); and 2) dilithium crystals which you will find near some of the
- planets. Everything else is extremely harmful to your well-being. A
- few things cannot be destroyed at all. Some others may take more than
- one hit. Be on the alert at all times!
-
- To play, just put a joystick in port 2 and click on the icon. If all
- the files are where they should be, you will eventually get to the
- title screen. Just press the fire button and start dodging
- projectiles and enemy ships.
-
- Should you die, or (heaven forbid!) grow weary of playing, you may
- quit in one of two ways. First, while in the game, just click BOTH
- mouse buttons, which should stop the game and return you to the
- workbench. Otherwise, while the title screen is showing, move the
- mouse pointer to the upper left and click the LEFT mouse button. That
- will get you back to the workbench as well.
-
- I spent a lot of time making this game. It is tough (very tough in
- places!), but I don't think there are any bugs floating around (except
- those inherent in the S.E.U.C.K. system itself, but since it's all
- I've got right now, and I'm too lazy to program this the proper way, I
- guess I'll just have to make do). Should you encounter any serious
- problems, please let me know. If possible, I will fix the game and
- release the improved version.
-
- If you like this game, you might consider sending a small donation (no
- more than $5.00, please) to me at the address below. That might
- provide that extra incentive to finish the other S.E.U.C.K. games I've
- gotten started on.
