- BombPac for the CD32
- --------------------

-
- This is a rewrite of the original "BombPac" game for the
- Amiga CD32 game machine.
-
- Full gaming instructions in english and german are included
- in the program, so this document only covers technical
- aspects.
-
- Besides written for the Amiga CD32 Game machine, BombPac32
- runs on any AGA Amiga (A1200 and A4000 at time of writing).
- A joystick is recommended, but not required. The keyboard
- alternatives to the game controller buttons are given in the
- online help. The "lowlevel.library" must be present in your
- LIBS: directory in order for the joystick or game
- controller to work. If the "lowlevel.library" is missing,
- you can only use keyboard control.
-
- BombPac32 multitasks fine, is fully OS compliant, can be
- exited at any time and only requires about 1 MByte of RAM,
- so it can be used in the background on machines with extra
- memory. Since BombPac32 uses real Sprites, it doesn't work
- neither with AGA emulating gfx boards nor with 31 khz video
- modes -- it requires real AGA on an 15 khz PAL monitor.
-
- There is a compatibility trick, however, which sometimes
- causes BombPac32 to be a program of no return: If the
- machine is in ECS mode, BombPac32 will force an activation
- of the AGA capabilities. Since there is no way to drop back
- to old ECS mode, the system is shut down, and BombPac32 will
- perform a ColdReboot() upon exit.
-
- The "ForceAGA"-Mode is primary useful for FD compilation CDs
- which are booted via a CDTV trade mark file for
- compatibility reasons. The Amiga CD32 drops back to ECS
- mode if it detects such a CD, and BombPac32 wouldn't run
- properly. You should not start BombPac32 on a AGA Amiga
- system which is manually degraded to ECS or OCS mode.
-
- Also included is the BombPac Leveleditor, which requires a
- full blown Amiga system equipped with mouse and keyboard.
- Usage of this tool is pretty obvious, just check it out.
- The level editor runs on
-
- Send reports and new levels to: o.wagner@aworld.aworld.de.
- New levels will be included in future BomPac releases.
-
- Have Fun!
