Pacman2000 version 1.0 extremely Alpha Version By
Simon Churchill
I wasn't Going to release this game for a long time because I dont have
time to finish any of it at the moment , I am on my industrial placemnent
year of my computer science degree course , and I didn't want to release it
unfinished, but I dont know when I will have the time, so I would like to
release this version as a sort of demo, and hope people out there will give
me some feed back to whether they think it is crap or not, or whether they
would like me to finish it. The game probably has a good few bugs in it ,
but nothing too serious (ie. it wont blow your computer up or anything) but
there are some non the less. here are some things to note:
-The game has only seven levels (at the moment,I was planing about 40++)
-The redefine keys screen is black but the program will still accept
your new choices, (ie. if you press 4 to redefine keys the screen will
go black, at this point you should press the keys you want for "UP DOWN
LEFT RIGHT" in that order. The game should work with those keys,
alternativly use a joystick in port 2.
-press F10 to toggle gfx to and from normal and enhanced modes
-the ghost can kill you, and you can kill then by eating a corner power pill
,at the moment they just look like normal pills but you should be able to
tell when you have had one as the ghosts slow down and go grey.
-the mouse button quits from the game (this is just a debugging function
in case of a mild crash)
again I would like to stress that this game is nowhere near finished and
will have lots of silly things in it but I would be very greatful for
any feedback from anyone, such as suggestions,errors I might of missed or
anyones great desire for me to finish it,( I want to finish it eventually,
everyone loved the original, did'nt they).
If i get enough email requests to finish it I will finish it and alos
write a PC version, and all who mailed will recieve both full registered
versions.
Also if you really want to ,you can install or play it from floppy
if any of you are that far back in technology,
just copy all the files to a floppy rename it PACMAN2000
and from a dos shell type "install DF0:"
Any way hope you enjoy this much,, Si......

PS. please send me some E-mail with feed back, I want to know If I should
carry on And Finish it!
PPS. No timewasting Bastards,also 2 of the mods were from a archimedies
game called cycloids or something, but it was my mate stu who originally
wrote them and said it was alright to use, they are only temp anyway,
until I can pursuede him to write me some real ones!!!!
