ZANTI! Version 1.2d (INSTANT restart of game!) November 1993
(User's suggestions added since version 1.2c)
(Optional rapid end of level)
Howdy!
Welcome to Zanti! This is a Windows 3.x game that requires you
to visiualize and think ahead! The object of the game is to guide the
Zanti invaders along the garden path until they reach the ending Path piece.
(which can ONLY be entered from the right!) If they do, then the earth's
military will wipe them out, and you win the game! If the Zantis get off
the path because they reach the end before you can get an appropriate piece
in place, or you get a wrong piece in place, or the path ends in a piece you
can't change (such as a piece that they have already taken), or you run into
their ship or an obstacle, you loose!
Watch the ship closely to see which side the Zanti's will come out!
You will see the hatch open about 8 seconds before they emerge!
Notice also that the score you get is based on how many pieces the
Zantis cross before reaching the ending piece (that is, how long the
game lasts) MINUS a penalty for how many unused pieces you put on the board!!
The longer you keep the game going, the more points you get, but you CAN get
a negative score if you just fill the board with pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This requires, therefore, that you place the pieces cunningly, so that there
is plenty of space for more path pieces, and then to get the Zantis off
to the end! Extra points are also had for using a "X" piece twice.
1. As the levels progress, the line grid will be replaced by fewer and
fewer dots to mark the grid locations, till finally nothing is seen!
2. The Zantis will gradually (as the levels get higher) move faster.
(by level 30 it will be moving 2x as fast!)
3. Blocks which you must go around will be placed starting with level 3, one
more at each higher level.
4. Occasionally a suprise grid spot will be deactivated until you place one
or two blocks nearby, then it will be reactivated.
5. After level 10, Radioactive trash-cans will appear that must be
collected by the Zantis or you will loose 5000 points per can!
6. The Zanti will move faster as the game progresses... (as I said <g>)
7. Placing path pieces is a SINGLE mouse click event!! If you try to click
fast, Windows will think that you are doing a DOUBLE click and WILL NOT
put a piece there!!! If this bothers you too much, go into the Windows
CONTROL PANEL under MOUSE and change the DOUBLE CLICK speed to a FASTER
setting, and you can click new pieces into place faster!
8. There is a small (1/4 second) time loss whenever you REPLACE an piece
that you have already placed that the Zanti! has not gone through...
(you also loose 10 points... but you loose more than 25 points for
left-over pieces at the end of each round!) You can get around this
by "throwing off" pieces elsewhere on the board (but you loose more
points for unused pieces!).
To activate sounds, music & theme, select them from the Options menu
in the start-up screen. If the proper sound files are not present, a system
beep will be heard instead of the appropriate sound. To activate PG-13 mode,
select it from the options menu of the start-up screen. If the proper image
files are not present, you will not be able to select it. These two modes
(sound & PG-13) are selected when a checkmark is next to the respective options.
The sound configuration is automatically saved each time you change it. PG-13
mode is always deselected... you have to select it each time you play Zanti!.
OPTIONS MENU: Allows you to select whether or not you get "sound effects", "music",
and "theme music". If you select PG-13, then the PG-13 files MUST
be present! You can also select the color display mode (16-color
Windows color, 16-color optomized color, and 256 color.) This
setting ONLY affects the playing board colors, NOT the PG-13 files!
Whatever PG-13 files (16-color Windows color, 16-color optomized
color, or 256 color) you have unzipped in the Zanti! directory
will be used!
INSTALLATION:
Unzip sound or PG-13 files in the same directory that you put Zanti! in.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REGISTER YOUR SHAREWARE ON-LINE (Compuserve)!!!: type GO SWREG on Compuserve
and register to number: 1397
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the basic version of Zanti!, only the first set of files needs to be
in the Zanti! directory: (they should all be there after unzipping the .zip
file!)... If you want sound and PG-13 graphics, you'll need additional files.
(from a separate .zip file)
BASIC Zanti! files*:
zantxx.exe
zanti.scr
zant.cfg
hurra.bmp
earthxx.bmp (six of these, earth1x.bmp thru earth6x.bmp)
Windows MM Sound files (adlib, soundblaster, PCspeaker driver**):
xxxxx.wav (29 of these files)
PG-13 support files***:
girl1.bmp through girl26.bmp
R-Rated support files***:
girl1.bmp through girl26.bmp (available on LL/CT BBS,
see below)
X-Rated support files***:
girl1.bmp through girl26.bmp (call LL/CT or e-mail me
if you think these are a good idea <g>)
notes:
* Zanti! will run with just these files present, but you won't
be able to select sounds, theme, music or PG-13
(...these are in the Zan12x.zip file)
** If these files are also present, and the Windows sound driver
(or adlib, or soundblaster drivers), then you will be able to select
and hear sounds, theme & music. (If you use the PC-speaker driver,
you must enable interrupts or the action will freeze during sound
events.) (...these are in the zansnd.zip file)
*** If these files are also present, you can select PG-13 mode and
reward each successful completion of a level with a beautiful lady
just for you! (...these are in the zan13x.zip file)
