There are some people who belive that there shouldn't be ANY games with violence and there are others who don't belive the crap about it being harmful. We belong to the latter. We belive it should be the right for ANYONE to choose what things they want to do, see or play, as long as it's not harmful to other people. However, there are some countries that have regulations about how old you must be to play certain computer games. It's impossible for us to keep up with what's legal and illegal in every country in the world, so the only thing we can do is warn you. Ok, here's our warning: ---------------------------------------------------------- If you are under 18 years of age, don't play "Cybergames". ---------------------------------------------------------- ...Gee, I really did scare the shit out of you there, didn't I... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <1> Distribution ------------ "Cybergames" is a SHAREWARE program. You may freely distribute it as long as all of its files are included in their ORIGINAL form without additions, deletions or modifications. Only a nominal fee can be charged for the distribution of "Cybergames". It cannot be distributed as a part of any commercial product without written permission from the authors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <2> How to register --------------- If you play "Cybergames" and like it, you can register and recive a much BIGGER and BETTER version of this excellent game. (More info bellow) Register by sending US$15 in cash or international check to the following address: Bjorn Fogelberg Sockerbruksgatan 9A 26263 Engelholm SWEDEN When I have recived your order, I will send you the game within a few days. Please write your name and address VERY clearly, so that we can avoid any mistakes. You can only order by mail and with check or cash, but if you would like to contact CPD by other reasons, here's some other ways: Phone: +46(0)43125693 E-mail: Bjorn.Fogelberg@Cindy.ct.se Fidomail: Bjorn Fogelberg 2:200/235 BBS: Bjorn Fogelberg +46(0)43117506 (Synchron City) Some other reasons to contact me: We would just love to hear from ANY software company. We have lots of new ideas for more games to develope and it would be just fantastic if we could realize any of them and MAKE SOME MONEY in the process... We would also like to hear from development teams with SERIOUS projects. Give me a call or just send a E-mail, or why not a snail-mail letter... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <3> Features of the registered verision ----------------------------------- Three disks packed with 35 levels more opponents more background graphics excellent Intro before the main intro excellent Game Over sequence excellent You Win sequence more weapons and improved bodyparts more things to throw more things to win Full 2 player mode Printed instructions and more... Also, like this version, the game is HD installable and runs on ALL Amigas from WB 1.2 (The lowest we have tested it on) with at least 1 meg of memory (512k chip and 512 k fast works just fine). There's no trouble running it on an AGA machine. The game has been designed to avoid boring diskswapping. It will take advantage of two or more drives, but can of course also be run using only the internal drive. "Cybergames" will work faster if you got a faster computer than the standard 68000, and you will get NO hassle even if you got fastrom, burst, cache or mmu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <4> Some words from the authors --------------------------- Hi, This computer game was designed by Bjorn Fogelberg and Johan Lundin of Cyberpunk Developments (CPD). We hope you like it and will be one of the registered users. "Cybergames" was originally made to be published by an English company and then a Swedish company, but after two crashed deals and various trouble with various lying, slimesucking software companies, we decieded to release it on our own as shareware. We would like to thank the following persons for their support and for being around: Andreas Gunnarsson (Jolly Cracker/XAKK = Zzlevo/Chalmers) Stefan Walter (Vivace/XAKK) Jenny Holst Andreas Ohlsson (Combat Maniac/XAKK) Arne Nielsen, Michelle & Anna Hoffset Heine & Helge Our families Johans brother Jorgen Toebosh Linda Toebosh ;-) Fredrik Persson for thinking that this game SUCKS bigtime. :-/ Bjorn Ljungdahl (Closseau/XAKK) Digital Illusions Delta software Van Orbitsson at TRC HBG (The best studio around: +46 (0)70-5858432 ) Everyone who still is an Amiga owner... and YOU, for playing this game... Happy headcutting and don't forget to try the spitting... Bjorn & Johan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <5> Instructions ------------ <5.1> How to start the game: - - - - - - - - - - - The most simple way to run "Cybergames" is to reset your computer and insert the disk in one of your diskdrives. The game will now automatically be loaded. You can also run "Cybergames" from Workbench by opening the "cybergames1" drawer and click on the big icon labelled "mainintro". You can also run "Cybergames" from CLI or SHELL by typing: "Cybergames1:mainintro" <5.2> What to do when it says "Insert Cybergames savedisk" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Before the intro starts, there will be a requester which asks you if you want to load your your own highscores or use the default. To use your own hiscores, insert a empty disk (in any drive, of course) which you have previously named "Cybergames savedisk" and press fire on your joystick. If there are any hiscores on that disk, they will be loaded and used in the game. If you want to use the default highscores, just press the ESC button on the keyboard to continue. The intro is quite simple to understand, so I'll skip that part. <5.3> The main game: - - - - - - - You control your man by using a standard joystick. There is a scaffolding in every arena. This is to be used for climbing. You jump up on it by standing right- or leftmost of the screen (On the white plates) and pulling the joy- stick upwards. If you hang still for a while, you will get tired and will be falling down again. If you climb over you opponent and land on the other side of him, the players will automatically turn around so that they face eachother again. Then your joystick movements will be reversed. The energy level for each player is shown in the top of the screen. Player one to the left and player two to the right. The less energy you have, the more will be shown of the word DEAD. When it is filled, you are... Right...DEAD!!! Also in this area is the three things that you can throw at eachother. <5.4> One Player: - - - - - - Here you will face different opponents ranging in skills from mediocre to very tough to beat. This demo contains four different opponents on one location. There are 35 opponents and six locations in the complete game. Since this is a fightin game, the object obviously is to smash the other guy. You can either beat him with your weapon until he has lost all of his energy, or you can make it short by seperating his head from the body (A Swedish shave). You will get credits for every successful hit, and those credits can be used later for upgrading your body armor and weapons. The more difficult a hit, the more credits you will get for it. You won't get much cretits by decapitating your opponent at once (But you WILL get a time-bonus). You can carry three weapons that you can throw on your opponent. Those are for example a knife, laser, pot of acid, a blob, etc. Press SPACE to choose which one you wish to throw. When you have no more left to throw, you will SPIT at the opponent instead. (Must try this out, it's great fun!!!) When you have won one match, you will see how many credits you have collected. Then you can choose to either spend some of it on improvements by entering the cybershop, or build a pile for later and kick some a** instead. <5.5> The cybershop: - - - - - - - This is where you can buy new weapons, things to throw and improve your armor. The more opponents you beat, the more goodies there will be in the shop. There will only be displayed things that you can afford at the moment. For example, if a weapon costs 25000 credits and you only have 1200 when entering the shop, the weapon will not be displayed. As mentioned before, you can save your credits a couple of rounds, to be able to buy something expensive later on. This is how you buy! Use the joystick to move around the cursor. The big squares contains the weapons and armor that you can buy. The small squares conatins the things that you can throw. If you press fire one time, some info will be shown about the item. If you press fire one more time then you will buy that item. You can only buy one weapon at a time and hold a maximum of 3 things to throw. If you are holding one thing when entering, you may only buy two things and vice versa. A good thing to buy is more ENERGY, because your energy level will NOT recharge after a fight. <5.6> Two players: - - - - - - Use two joysticks and you can play against eachother. This demo has a timelimit which will restart the game after some time has elapsed. <5.8> Ingame keys: - - - - - - Keys that can be pressed during the course of the game. P Will pause the game. Great for review snapshots. Press P to unpause. Esc End game and go back to the intro F1-F4 Speed of the game. If you are playing on a faster computer than the basic old 68000 Amiga, you can speed it up a bit. F1 is slow, F4 is faaaaast!! Space Player one choose which item to throw. Return & Enter Player two choose which item to throw. <5.8> Joystick: - - - - - For player one. Player two's movemements are the same but reversed. ON THE GROUND ------------- Without button pressed jump up jump left | jump right walk left --- --- walk right throw item/spit | sit down/punch sit down With button pressed Axe cut up cut | stab head cut off head --- --- cut side kick | stab stomach sit down/cut side HANGING ------- Without button pressed Lift legs - | - climb left -- -- climb right - | - jump down With button pressed - - | hit - --- --- - - | kick Kick down <5.9> How to run this PAL game on a NTSC Amiga: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cybergames was written for the European market, that means for PAL computers. Where PAL has 255 lines, NTSC only has 200, making the last 55 pixels of the game not visible for our American friends (And anyone elso who runs on NTSC). However, we have thrown in some quick things to make it possible to enjoy "Cybergames" in the States. The game automatically checks if it's running on a NTSC computer. If that is the case, it will move up some screens a bit so that you can see the players and other things which would have been hidden otherwise. If you don't like my presets, you can change it yourself by doing like this: When the game is starting and the players are walking in, press "P" to pause it. Now scroll the screen up- or downwards with the up and downkeys on your keyboard. When you're finished, press "P" again to leave the pause mode. You can also do the same in the cybershop to move around the computerdisplay. The next opponent screen will adjust itself to the main playing screen, so that you hopefully will see what you need to see... I'm sorry that you have to do this way, but it would be a huge amount of work for us if we should make a complete NTSC version, and I'm not sure it's worth it. Since this is only tested with my PAL computer and a 60hz emulator, I really don't know if it works in reality. If you have tried "Cybergames" on a NTSC computer, please send me an E-mail to let me know how it worked out. ...End of instructions ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___ __ ____________ _ __ ___________ __ / _/\/ /\/ / __/ / /_ \/ \ /\/ / / __/ /_ _/\/ / Sysop: Vivace/XAKK \_ \ / / /_/ / / O \ / / /_/ / / / \ / Cosys: Knatter/XAKK /___/_/_/\/\__/_/_/_/\_\___//\/ \__/_/ /_/ /_/ X a k k h e a d q u a r t e r s "NO ELITE, JUST PURE INFORMATION" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Lots of underground cyberpunkish textphiles - 9500 txtfiles online - 28800 VF Everything, PC/Amiga, Cyberpunk, Internet, FAQ, Science Coding, Computers, Adult education, Sci Fi, utilities, and much, much more - FREE DOWNLOAD FOR STAR TREK, FAQ, GIF, DOOM, STORIES - Call now +46(0)431 17506 Call now -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
