Xenon II Mega Blast - Demo version V1.13d
Conversion by Eclipse (Programmed by A Neville & S Annetts)
Xenon II - Mega Blast (level one preview)
-----------------------------------------
This demo is a taster of things to come: experience the power of the Xenon
II ship and fly to destruction. Pick up the power-up's and credits to buy
extra weapons. Contact Games Ware on 0703 456 523 for availability and
price.
Compatibility
-------------
The music play module from Desktop Tracker is not compatible with version
V1.33 or earlier of the Pineapple VProtect virus killing module. VProtect
will have to be temporarily switched off, which is done automatically by
the game. Upgrades to VProtect are available from Pineapple.
This demo has been written to be compatible with the following machines:
* A3000 Risc OS 2 1Mb
* All machines with Risc OS 2 or Risc OS 3 with 2Mb of Ram or more.
The demo version is not guaranteed to work on the Acorn A4.
A3010 with 1Mb of Ram: You will have to reduce the font cache down to zero
to allow the demo to run. Do this by using the Task Manager (click with
Select on the Acorn icon on the iconbar and drag the relevant bar). Also
make sure the desktop is in Mode 12 before running. If it does not run,
decompress the game (as described in the help file), reset your machine and
run the game in its decompressed form.
Joysticks are supported. To use the Vertical Twist joystick interface
simply load the Joystick application before playing the demo. On the A3010
you are given the option to use joysticks when the demo is first loaded.
Hints.
------
To make the ship more manoeuvrable, shoot the spinning objects at the
beginning of the level, they then turn into spinning balls. Collect these
and your ship will move faster.
Collect the spinning objects with 'C' on them, these are credits that you
will need to use to buy extra weapons.

In the shop
-----------
When you first enter the shop, you have the option to sell weapons to gain
extra credit. If you do not wish to sell anything then select EXIT using
the control keys and press RETURN. After this a selection of extras will
appear, but only if you you have enough money. Select the item you want to
buy and press RETURN twice to buy it. We recommend the 'NASHWAN', it's
impressive.
