- System requirements for Galleons V1.0.
- ======================================
-
- Galleons will (should) work on any Amiga computer with at least 1mb. This
- means that Galleons will run on the 500.
-
-
- Installing.
- ===========
-
- To install Galleons onto your hard-dive all you have to do is drag the
- Galleons game draw from inside the Galleons disk to the area on your H.D.
- that you want it to be stored. Then to run just open that draw and click
- twice on the wee game icon. Very simple. This document needs some sort of text
- reader (Assign one to use information while clicked on icon! - in WB or copy
- ReadMisc from the disk to your C directory).

- The galleons game.
- ------------------
-
- Galleons is a two player game in the same vain as Tanx and Bip. The sole aim
- of this game is to blow the other player out of the water. This is done
- through skilful use of your galleon. The winner is the boat that is still
- a float in the water.
-
-
- The controls.
- -------------
-
- All of galleons is controllable via the joystick (in any port - not mouse port).
-
- To get through the titles and battle stats screen just tap fire. To quit
- the program you must tap the escape key when you are at the menu screen.
-
-
- Features in galleons.
- ---------------------
-
- o Water waves.
- o Destroy the land with your balls (cannon balls that is).
- o 50Mmhz Update.
- o Two player all time classic game ?.
- o Never the same game twice.
-
-
- Running Galleons.
- -----------------
-
- To run Galleons load workbench.
- Upon booting Galleons you will be presented with a few misc screens. Just
- tap fire on these to continue. After clicking pass the screens you will be
- presented with a menu.
-
-
- The menu screen.
- ----------------
-
- To use the menu, use joystick 1 (not mouse port joystick). Tapping up or
- down will move the bar. Tapping fire will select the option. Tapping escape
- on the menu will quit the program and return you to workbench/shell. What
- each option will do is as follows ...
-
- Cannon ball wrap
-
- If this option is On then the cannon balls when shot off the screen will
- wrap around and fly on the other side of the screen.If this option is Off
- then the cannon balls will stick to the edge of the game screen.
-
- Boat wrap
-
- If this option is On then the boat when moved off the screen will be placed on
- the other side of the screen (as long as there is no land there!). If this
- option is Off then the boats will be stopped at the border of the screen.
-
- Number Of Hits
-
- Use the +/- gadget things to alter how many shots it should take to sink a
- galleon. The more there are the more hits you have to get to sink the other
- ship.
-
-
- The game controls.
- ------------------
-
- In game you can use the "P" key to pause the game and the "Escape" key to
- quit it. To control your galleon the joystick is used as follows. Please
- note that every time you start a new battle the landscape should change.
-
-
- Game Joystick control.
- ----------------------
-
- When No fire is held.
-
- Left or right : Rotate ship left or right.
- Up : Accelerate your ship.
- Down : De-accelerate your ship.
-
- When fire is held down.
-
- Left or right : Shoot a cannon ball left or right.
- Up : Increase range.
- Down : Decrease range.
-
- Bumping into land and the other player will not damage you, but being hit
- buy the other players balls will. Your boat can only travel on water. Land
- can be converted into water by (controled?) explosions. The cannon balls
- do wrap around the screen - so be on the look out.
-
-
- To win.
- -------
-
- The game is over when one of the two players has no power left. To win
- you must hit the other player five time with your on board weapons. You
- must move your ship so that you can shoot the other player via use of the
- left or right cannons on your ship. On getting hit or hitting the other
- player you will hear a cry as some poor member of the crew is killed!.
- The game will end upon the last hit.
-
-
- Battle stats screen.
- --------------------
-
- At the end of a game you will be presented with a battle stats results
- screen. This present you with information about the battle that has just
- finished. It will give you the total number of cannon balls shot and a
- hit %. The winners stats will be displayed on the left and the losers on
- the right of the screen. To return to the menu screen just tap fire or press
- escape (what ever one tickles your fancy! ).
-
-
- Notes about Galleons v1.0.
- --------------------------
-
- This game is best played from a harddisk. So just go out and buy yourselves
- a harddisk. If you notice that the mouse pointer is missing when you quit
- back WB then move you mouse to the top of the screen and try and drag
- the screen down a bit. - This is not a bug - it's a feature ;-)
-
- This game was created in only two and half weeks .... ?What? ...
- But has taken yonks to released, because I was on holiday.
-
-
- Future stuff.
- =============
-
- I am working on a game called "Light speed". It's turning out to be the best
- version of tron type light cycle game ever!. Just keep your eyes open, it will
- be awesome. This game might be licenceware or something by the way - so save
- your pounds.
-
- Instead of updating Last Lap, we will produce Last Lap 2. Already in the
- re-design.
