Alpha test of !TKGS
Designed and programmed by Nicholas Kingsley
Modules by Andy Southgate, Eduard Pfarr, Alex Petrov and Nicholas Kingsley Sound effects by Nicholas Kingsley
Music by The Mixer, Sebastian R and Nicholas Kingsley
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Killing Game Show (or TKGS for short) is my current games project, and
as such is around 75% complete. It is SHAREWARE, which means that if you
want to play the full version, you will have to fork out £5. However, you
should first contact me at the address below to find out when the program
will be completed.

My E-Mail address (nicholk@dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk) expires on the 7/6/96, and I
have no plans at present to get a new address.
As the program is still being tested, it has still got the testing code
in it, so the program will run a little slower than in the full game. In
addition, you should note the following points :
A) The screen will flicker between loads.
B) The keys selected in the Title program are replaced by the test set
in the main program. These keys are :
Player 1 Action Player 2
Q Forward '
A Backwards /
E Rotate Left M
R Rotate right ,
CapsLock Fire Alt
C) There may still be bugs in the program (especially in the pause routine).
D) None of the graphics, sound effects or music has been finalised, and
may change in the full game.
E) You can currently play only the two player version, and there are only
4 levels. The first is the test level. F) Currently, mines placed next to walls will disappear. This will be
fixed.
You will need at least RISC OS V3.11 and 2Mb to run the game without sound
effects. You will probably need at least 4Mb to run the program with
sound effects.
The program has only been tested on an A3010, and so may not run properly,
or too fast on a Risc PC. If you have any problems please contact me.
The object of the game
----------------------
In one player mode, the object is to collect the minimum required number
of objects within the alloted time. Failure to do so ends your game.
In two player mode, the object is to destroy your opponent using any of the
availiable weapons within the alloted time. If you fun out of time, the
player who worse of is repaired and given a new weapon, and then both
players are put on the next, harder level.

The rating system
-----------------
The full may will contain scenes that will be unsuitable for young people
or those who are squemish. Therefore, the rating system was introduced.
The 'PG' version will only run the parts of the program that will not
cause offence to young people.
The '12' version will run the full version.
Currently this is only used with the adverts, but will, in the full game,
also be used with the end routine.
Adverts
-------
You can't skip these...
Finally
-------
Please keep in mind that the program is NOT complete. I hope you like it,
and if you have any comments, suggestions or bug reports don't hesitate to
contact me.
