-

-
-
- I was tired of waiting for someone to come out with free game
- software for the Falcon, so I took a stab at it myself. BLACK HOLE
- is arcade-style entertainment that takes advantage of the 030's
- superb graphics and sound. The program runs on a VGA monitor in
- 256-color 640 X 480 mode, and features over one megabyte of high-
- quality music and sound effects samples.
-
- The folder named HOLEDATA must be in the same directory as
- BLACKHOL.PRG. Since the folder contains 1.3 megabytes of support
- data, I recommend running BLACK HOLE from a hard disk in order to
- reduce start-up time. The object of the game is to find the two
- coins hidden on each level. Various items appear as you travel
- across the screen. Move the cursor over them to increase your
- score and playing time, but watch out: the higher your level is,
- the shorter the Time Bomb fuses become. Press the joystick button
- to escape the current level if you think you're about to blow up.
- If you complete eight levels you win the game. Press the Falcon's
- HELP key for more information.
-
- This version of BLACK HOLE uses 8-bit monaural audio samples in
- order to keep the archive file to a reasonable size. My personal
- version uses stereo 8-bit samples which I would be happy to
- provide to anyone who is interested (the program is already
- equipped to read both mono or stereo samples). Leave me Email if
- you want more information.
-
- BLACK HOLE is public domain freeware. Give it away and pass it
- around. The Falcon needs all the help it can get.
