- aThrust v2.09, Copyright © 1994,1995 by Carsten Gerlach
-
- Sorry, no english documentation (yet). I'm working on it, but I'm too
- lazy to finish it ...
- Anyway, the usage of the program is pretty easy. This file contains
- some hints for those who don't speak german ;-)
-
- aThrust v2 is a two player gravity shoot 'em up - like Gravity Force,
- TurboRAKETTI and others.
-
- But aThrust v2 has some features which other games don't have:
-
- . 100% system-friendly. aThrust is using the OS and runs on an
- Intuition screen. You could even convert some JPGs or download
- files while playing ;-)
-
- . it has an realtime two-player-mode via the serial port.
-
- . two players can use one keyboard (I _hate_ the joystick control
- in other aThrust games).
-
- . it has a font and size sensitive GUI-frontend
-
- . lots of extra weapons
-
- . own screens can be created and used
-
- . max. screensize is 1024x1024 at 32 colors
-
- . optional splitscreen/fullscreen mode while playing via modem
-
- . sound effects
-
- . amigaguide-documentation (sorry, only german documentation yet)
-
- aThrust is giftware. Send me a gift if you like it.

- System requirements & installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- . aThrust needs at least Kickstart 3.0 (V39) and an 68020 or better.
-
- . reqtools.library v38 (or better) is required.
-
- . aThrust screens can use much chip memory. A normal aThrust screen
- needs about 160 KB chip memory. This should not be a problem, because
- most people have at least 1 MB chip memory nowadays (or don't they ? :-)
-
- aThrust has been successfully tested on an A3000 running V40 and on an A1200
- running V39. It doesn't produce enforcer hits (well, it shouldn't ;-)
-
- Just copy the file named 'aThrust' in a directory you like.
- The subdirectory 'screens' should be in the same directory as the program.
-
- The program can be started by calling it from CLI or from the Workbench.
-
-
- How to play
