Short: Asteroids Clone, OS friendly
Author: Thilo Köhler (koehlerthilo@gmx.de)

Version: 1.2
Type: game/shoot
Web: http://asteroids.hd-rec.de
Asteroids 1.2 © 2003-2004 (Thilo Köhler)
==============================================================
What did I just download ?
This is another Asteroids clone. It is system friendly and uses
graphicscard at 640x480 any colour depth.
Sound is done via AHI.
Bugreports please send to support@hd-rec.de
New in this release is
* internet highscore synchronisation uses only the first 3 positions
* more music (highscore & in game)
* glowing asteroids from wave 12
* new for 1.0: MOS GTString fix (Highscore), Music Loop fix
* new for 1.1: workaround for unexplainable explosions or your ship
(this is a nasty bug in cybergraphics or picasso96, where blit operations don't do exactly what they should!)
* fixed a timing bug when AmigaOS was running for more than a few hours (eclock-overflow!)
Installation:
==============================================================
Double click the install icon and follow the instructions.
Usage:
==============================================================
Shoot all Asteroids and you will get to the next wave.
An evil space ship will attack you from time to time.
Every 2500 points you will get a bonus, such as Extra Life,
Double Shot or Satellite.
Use the SPACE bar when you are in trouble to get 3 secs shield.
Default Keyboard Settings:
"X" / "Y" = rotate
R-Amiga = Shoot
R-Shift = Thrust
"-" = Inverse Thrust
SPACE = Beam / Rescue (once a wave you can do this)
ESC = Abort/Quit
Configuration can be done via tooltypes, look there for description.
There is also ingame music, but it needs a fast harddisk to not
destroy game play. You can switch this off in tooltypes as well.
Minimum requirements:
==============================================================
Hardware:
- 68040/25MHz or faster 68K Emu (Amithlon, WinUAE, Morphos, AOS4)
- graphics card with at least 640x480 (no OCS/AGA!)
- 32 MB RAM
Software:
- AmigaOS3.1+
- render.library, guigfx.library
- mpega.libary
- AHI 4 (ahi.device 5.29+)
- Picasso96 or Cybergraphics
Last minute hints:
==============================================================
- Check the icon for tooltypes, here you can configure the
keyboard control, screenmode and frames per second
- To increase the performance close all screens and windows to save gfx memory
- There are three versions:
* AsteroidsTR
full Asteroids game with all effects
* AsteroidsTR_lite
which will perform better on slower plattforms because it has
less effects, but gameplay is the same
* AsteroidsTR_scroll
which has nice scrolling and slightly different gameplay but
definetly needs fast gfx card
* AsteroidsTR_cpu
which is a special version for systems with fast CPU but slow gfx card,
like Amithlon in VESA mode.
