LAST MINUTE
Delarith is the story of an adventurer seeking for treasure of ancients.
You must guide him thru' ancient ruins and ..........
Wow, what a story! So silly isn't it?.. It is just a platform game which you
have to have lotsa luck and a little brain...
The aim of Delarith is to collect 10 items to make the keys/biggers appear
then collect it to exit...... Easy?
DELARITH means nothing!!! Yes, nothing.
We found it while looking to dictionary to find a good name for our game.
The short for Arithmetics=arith, then put some other letter to create a cool
name, then it's DELARITH......
Delarith is again from ole Spectrum days, like our previous titles NSX and
GEENIE.
It is never programmed on Spectrum but designed in/for it. You can understand
this from level designs. They're 256*192 pixels.... Is there anyone remember
this numbers?
Levels.... Made of 6 bpl EHB screens.... 6th for shadows again...
Walk over the blocks, use lifts, blow yourself up, fall down from exploding
blocks....
Let's simulate the blocks;
___
|\ /| BORDER BLOCKS:
| X | Usually appears on border tiles....
|/_\| But sometimes, appear in game area... If so, means wall tile.
==:== WALL BLOCKS:
=:=== Standard wall tiles...
===:= Good to walk on...
--:-- EXPLODING BLOCKS:
-:--- Seems like to wall tiles, but explodes on further steps then you
---:- fall down.....
#"A"# LIFTS:
# I # Used to teleport yourself to upper/lower platform...
#.V.# If there is a space to be teleported....
#"^"# MINES:
#< ># Jogging, never been this much fun....
#.!.# Just step on it, watch your bones fly...
x ITEMS:
/$\ Collect them to get points....
\_/ Collect 10 of them to find the key....
_
|_| KEYS/BIGGERS:
\ Collect it to exit to next level....
X (Do this ASCII seems like a key? NO!)
Delarith is based on a world system just as NSX and Geenie...
This means you-pass-some-levels-all-level-graphics-changes....
Pass 5 levels and see new graphics..
World and level numbers are on the upper-left corner of game screen...
EXPLAINED BLOCK GRAPHICS ARE DUMMY AND WILL CHANGE IN EVERY WORLD, FIND THEM
YOURSELF WHICH BLOCK IS WHAT....
Of course there are enemies trying to stop you. Indeed most of them are just
trying to pass the screen and crush you if you're on their way...
There are 0-3 enemies per level.
Here are our enemies:
Arrows, Liquid drops, Rockets, Fireballs, Crabs, Skulls, Boubles, Goldfishes,
Silverfishes, Seahorses, Worms (Should I call them worms?) and Eyes....
Too few enemies? Don't think so....
And your biggest enemy is the time limit.....
Extras are added to game to give you more pleasure. They will be
appear during the game and help you, or not.. Heh heh...
Extras are same during the game, a message will be given when they
appear.

Reset your machine or even better throw it out of window.

the game from that world..

Who done what in DELARITH:
- Mehmet Ali Sahin
All code, nearly all the design, Backyard Brothers logo, fonts,
DELARITH logo, all game graphics, all maze graphics ,
all level designs, sound effects, guide text.
- Tunc Dindas
Pixelling of Backyard Brothers screen, some of the design.
- M. Onat Cakit
Soundtrack. The idea of the name, 'Backyard Brothers'.
- Tunc Taylan
He is not a brother on the backyard but he did the design for Backyad
Brothers Screen.
We would like to thank to all our brothers on the backyard
Edgar M. Vigdal, Burak 'GART' Kucukler, Sedat 'SWM' Besni, Erdem
Ertan, Berke, Huseyin Yesilbas, Ugur Ozyilmazel
Backyard Brothers are a little team of ex-sceners (or sceners). There are
were two coders (M.Ali and Berke) but now just one, two graphicians
(M.Ali and Tunc) and a musician (Onat) in the team.
I think we are the only team from Turkey producing games, but sure that we
are the only ones on Amiga...
This is the third title, and it took some time to finish it. I'm talking about
years.... But it took some weeks to finish, years after designing it...
These things were forgotten and added here, hope there's not more:
CONTROLS:
- Use your stick (port 2)
- Cursor keys to move + space for fire
- Keypad 2-4-6-8 to move + Keypad 5 for fire
TIME LIMIT:
There's also a time limit against you. It is shown on the lower side
of the screen. Watch for it....
BEST TIMES:
Getting the 'reset-timer' extra changes nothing for the best times
list. It's counter is different, just be quick...
You can break best time records (under 100) when you find the level
pass cheat or you're so lucky that first extra is the key....
20492:
20492 bytes are the data lenght for worlds.
You can not rename and play normal levels in a different order
(if you're not very very very lucky) or you cannot
replace after editing them. DELARITH checks file and exits with
an error message if occured.
GIVE UP A LIFE:
When you feel yourself in stuck, press "ESC" to sacrifice a life.
You will need it in some levels. This will restart the level, use
it when you're falling directly to mines... You can't sacrife if only
one life left...
CHEATS:
The game itself has some cheat options, try to find them:
Pass level, infinite lives, unlimited time, mines don't blow,
no enemies, infinite shield....
- Please, do not crack the game and not release trainers. The game itself has
some cheat options (explained in OTHER STUFF). Try to find them instead.
- Please, do not reset your machine when disk operates, it may be saving bests
lists to disk and may crash your disk or data. We are not responsible of
damages of your media that Delarith did because of this but we will replace
your damaged Delarith datas for once.
- Please, send a sample copy to us if you put 'DELARITH' to your compilation.
Or if you reviewed it do the same with your magazine..
NSX is the first title of Backyard Brothers. Its a nibbler game
but it has a lots of extras, lots of levels, lots of cool graphics.....
Extras, levels and graphics makes it different from the others. Maybe the
best nibbler clone is NSX.
Extras such as lemming, pacman, ghost, joker, dynamite, scissor etc. makes
the game great fun.
You can find NSX' latest version on Aminet.... download it now...
Current version is v1.90......

story of four green friends, Geenie, Teenie, Meenie and Vinnie who can't walk
but jump and their enemies does the same....

It will has worlds too, this means graphics, lots of them... You can play one
of the four green friends, guide him thru levels/worlds by jumping,
collecting, picking/avoiding extras......
