- ***************************Secret Characters********************************
-
- SECRET CHARACTERS
-
- There are two major secret characters in the game, Monolith, and Shifter.
- Shifter gives no clues like Monolith does.
-
- TO FIGHT MONOLITH
-
- He speaks of a few clues, but here's the whole story... every now and then
- on a missed ball, Nick Steele pops out and goes 'WHOOPSIE!'. If he does
- this on the Portal stage, press DOWN and your BUTTON. You must press
- these AFTER!!!! the speech clip finishes... there is a split second timing
- type thing. There will be an evil laugh, and Nick will vanish. At the
- end of the match, win or lose, the last person to down+button to Nick
- gets to fight Monolith. There is a one in ten chance of Nick showing
- on a lost ball.
-
- Monolith almost never misses a shot, and has large, fast-moving stars
- as weapons. He is relatively hard to kill.
-
- TO FIGHT SHIFTER
-
- On the Throne Room stage, execute a SPAMALITY. Spamalities are the
- sequence BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, UP after the announcer yells 'FINISH
- HIM!'. There will not be a siren, but the screen will clear and
- your opponent is turned into two slabs of luncheon meat. Notice that
- the tablecloth is the same pattern as the toilet bowl water.
-
- (NOTE : Spamalities REQUIRE a flawless victory, or else nothing will
- happen.)
-
- Shifter blends into his background and NEVER misses a shot. His weapons
- are extremely hard to see, fly quite fast, and quite often. He is
- insanely hard to kill, but if you're good enough to get a spamality,
- you're probably close enough...
-
- TO ACCESS DIP MODE
-
- Type 'pongkomb DIP' to start the game. If you have a frame-rate change
- already stacked on the parameter line, use 'pongkomb speed x DIP'.
- Alter the switches with up and down on the keypad. Left and right selects
- a switch, and space leaves the screen. Switch flips aren't saved after
- you quit Pong Kombat.
-
- ****************************DIP Switches*************************************
-
- DIP SWITCHES and what they do.
-
- 1-comic advert on/off (default : off)
- Turns on and off the ad for FWLS Komiks and short stories. I installed
- the feature back when it looked like Komik would be out before Pong
- Kombat. No release date is set due to a NASTY bug.
-
- 2-fatality check on/off (default : on)
- Turns the blood on or off, except for Purple's weapon, which is drawn-in.
- I had to install this to qualify Pong Kombat as a school project.
- Kids, violence is evil. Bad! Bad! Stomp out violence! Kill all
- violent people! Maim! Dest... umm. But I digress.
-
- 3-taunts on/off (default : on)
- Shut Monolith up by clicking this to OFF. He can be annoying.
-
- 4-extra credits on/off (default : off)
- Flipping this on adds some more scanned photos of the staff that worked
- on the game to the end of the credits. Credits are shown after White
- Paddle's demise.
-
- 5-white first on/off (default : off)
- Turning this switch on will fast-forward the tournament mode right to
- white paddle. I used this to test the ending sequence.
