- METEOR.CMD
-
- Introduction
- ============
-
- METEOR is an OS/2 REXX arcade type game. I realize that REXX is a poor
- language choice for arcade games, and this program is meant mostly as a
- novelty, but it's still kinda fun to play.
-
- Disclaimers
- ===========
-
- METEOR is freeware. Feel free to copy it, modify it, do whatever you
- want to it. Please note, however, that I'm not responsible for any
- problems it might cause you or your PC.
-
- Features
- ========
- * Digital sound effects. (if you have MMPM/2 installed)
- * The top ten high scoring games are saved as demos.
- * It's networkable. (sort of, run it from a mapped network drive and
- all the high score/demos will be shared among all users. This
- allows you to compete and view each other's performances.)
- * Reasonably well structured code. (for you REXX programmers)
- * Colorful (ANSI character) graphics.
- * Fast, furious action even on slower PCs. (That's probably an exaggeration)
-
- Program Usage
- =============
-
- At the OS/2 command prompt, type: METEOR [/s]
-
- /s = disable digital sound
-
- You'll get an instruction/high score screen. It's a good idea to read
- the instruction screen carefully before playing. It's also a good
- idea to watch a demo first.
-
- Hints:
- * TAP the keys, don't hold them down.
- * Keep an eye on the info area on the left side of the screen.
- * Look ahead.
- * All the bonus objects (colored letters) are helpful.

- Comments are Welcome
- ====================
- Thanks for playing Meteor!
