Short: 4 Player War Game & Spectrum Classic
Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk)
Uploader: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk)
Type: game/actio
Action: NoStart
Viking Raiders Special Edition v1.2a
------------------------------------
This is a conversion of the spectrum classic Viking Raiders! The game is a
4 player war game where the players can be upto 4 humans or 4 computers.
You must battle it out with the enemy and buy armies, catapults and boats
with which to defeat the other vikings.
It uses parts of code from the spectrum emulator ZXAM by Antonio J. Pomar
Rossello and the original Spectrum version was made by FireBird Software.
The Game GUI
------------
The game is pretty self explanatory, double click on the icon and then
click on 'PLAY' to play. Other options include :-
Load VikGame - Loads a previously saved game of Viking Raiders Se.
Reload - Reloads the current Viking Raiders game loaded
Save VikGame - Saves the current game of viking raiders
Use Arexx - Loads an Arexx script ] Not available
Abort Arexx - Quits the arexx script ] yet
Poke - If known allows old spectrum pokes to be used
Spectrum DOS - Returns you to the original Spectrum Screen
Save Format - Chose the save format for Viking Raiders, most formats
will allow the save game to be interchangeable between
Spectrum Emulators.
Once playing the game, 'ESC' will return you to the GUI, from here you can
do any of the above options, saving will save the exact point in the game
reached.
The Game
--------
In the game you will be asked for a demo game, this will show 4 computer
playings against each other. A guide to the graphics will show you what
each symbol means. Once you decide to play the game you will have a chance
to decide how many human/computer players are playing and what colour they
will be, aswell as configuring their names. Then the game will draw a map
and you can play, providing the map is accepted by all players. Then the
War begins!! it is really quite simple so there is no point in me explaining
it all, if you're playing it youve no doubt enjoyed it on the Spectrum anyway!
