Subject: SpaceWar (mono only, uudecode + arc)
Can You Use This Game???
This game runs on a 520 ST with a monochrome screen.
I know for a fact it runs on a 1 Meg 520 ST with ROM TOS. Since
I can also run the game with a 576K ram disk, I assume it also
runs without the 1 Meg upgrade. No joysticks are needed. It is
a two player game only.
I am making modifications for a colour version. But it
will take time.

DECODING INSTRUCTIONS:
This is my version of SPACE WAR. The file below contains
4 files:
spacewar.prg obvious
spacewar.img the image file
spacewar.rsc the resource file
spacewar.txt instructions, comments etc.
Please cut at both lines and UUDECODE to get SPACEWAR.ARC
I have used the standard UNIX UUENCODE so there are trailing
blanks all over the place.
Then, use ARC to get the named files.
COMMENTS ON THE GAME:
This game had many inspirations. The first is the
original SPACE WAR game, as in the arcade version. The second
was an article in Scientific American that reminded me of the
game. The third is the lack of really good player VS player
games on the ST. (or any computer. Most games are written for
people to play one at a time. I don't get much satisfaction out
of playing against computers: Human beings are much more fun
opponents, they get frustated and sneaky.)
Thanks go to many useful programs: And the people who
wrote them! Thank you:
