- ABOUT TRITUS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Tritus is a way cool 3-player tetris-style game and more! Tritus is
- shareware, although this demo is completely playable, apart from the
- shareware message that appears from time to time. But if you like
- this game then you MUST REGISTER because of your moral obligations to
- poor independent programmers such as myself.
-
- This demo version of the game is freely distributable.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Tritus was written on a crusty old amiga 2000, and has been tested on
- amiga 500's, 1000's and 1200's, so it darn well should work on all
- machines with at least 1 meg of ram.
-
-
-
- INSTALLING TRITUS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Tritus can be run from the workbench, or if you don't like using the
- workbench you should create a bootable floppy disk with this startup
- sequence:
-
- ; beginning of file: s/startup-sequence
-
- CD Tritus
- fastmemfirst >nil:
- run >nil: Tritus
- endcli >nil:
-
- ; end of file: s/startup-sequence
-
-
- The disk must also contain the following files:
-
- c/CD
- c/EndCLI
- c/FastMemFirst
- c/Run
- libs/diskfont.library
- libs/mathtrans.library
-
- You can get these files from your own workbench disk --- they are not
- included in this archive because they are copyright to some big nasty
- multi-national company.
-
-
-
- PLAYING TRITUS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Read the in-game docs for instructions on how to play. The game can
- be paused by pressing "P", the annoying theme tune can be toggled
- on/off by pressing "M", and the game can be exited by pressing "ESC"
- at the title screen.
-
- The levels can be easily modified by loading the file
- grafix/levels.iff into your favourite paint program and changing it.
- If you find the theme tune just too annoying, then just find replace
- the file sounds/music with your favourite med-module. The other sound
- effects can be modified in a similar way.
-
-
- REGISTERING
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you register, not only will you get the full version of this great
- game but you will also receive ANOTHER great game called R3. R3 is
- much bigger than Tritus and you can take it from me that if you like
- multi-player games then R3 is also a must. Bruce (who wrote R3) and I
- play R3 even more than we play Tritus. Yes that's right we play it
- for HOURS on end and you too can experience this together with the
- associated joys of missing essays, missing out on precious hours of
- sleep and perhaps your sanity, although I will not be held responsible
- for this.
-
- The registration fee is NZ$20 or 10 pounds sterling or 15 bucks US.
- (WOW, how cheap!) My bank will exchange other major currencies too and
- can accept overseas personal cheques. Cheques are probably the
- safest/best option, but I'll take anything.
-
- To register, send your (real) name and address and the registration
-
- TO my U.K agent:
-
- Tritus Registration
- c/o Ellen Johnstone
- 11 Abbey Road
- Scone
- Perthshire
- Scotland
- U.K. PH26LW
-
-
- OR myself:
-
- Tritus Registration
- c/o Davin Pearson
- 29 Tika Street
- Christchurch 8004
- New Zealand
-
- You will receive TWO disks - one containing Tritus and the R3 levels,
- and the other containing R3 with its very fancy level editor. These
- can (of course) be easily installed onto Hard-disk, if you have one.
- You should definitely get your disks within a month - if they don't
- arrive by then, please start complaining to me.
