About this package... Jan. 3, '92
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
Perihelion 2.0 is the second formal release of an online game designed to
run on 'BBX' bulletin board systems. BBX is an electronic bulletin board
system for Amiga computers (authored by Steve Tibbett) which will be
commercially released almost immediately, when its documentation is
complete.
The game introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PeriIntro.DOC is a relatively brief introduction to the game. The
complete documentation will be enormous (the text of the Perihelion 1.0
instructions is about 90K, and the 2.0 version will be larger) and should be
available on any BBS which runs Perihelion.
The sample pictures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hopefully a look at these IFF pictures will give you an idea of what the
game is like - note that the output displayed is shown using the Perihelion
custom font, which is freely available and works with any Amiga terminal
program. It's just a standard Amiga font with Perihelion graphics added,
after all. These interlaced screens show the 11 point font, but an 8 point
version is available for non-interlaced screen users.
The custom font archive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PERIFONT20.LHA is an archive containing both sizes of Perihelion.font.
The included installation script will automate the installation of this font
if you wish. If you get a chance to try the game, I STRONGLY recommend that
you install and use this font in the game - the graphics are CONSIDERABLY
more attractive than the crude ASCII images.
