Short: V1.4 Asteroids Clone, OS friendly Author: koehlerthilo@gmx.de (Thilo Köhler) Uploader: support hd-rec de (Thilo Köhler) Type: game/shoot Version: 1.4 Architecture: m68k-amigaos; ppc-amigos; ppc-morphos Web: http://asteroids.hd-rec.de Asteroids 1.4 © 2003-2005 (Thilo Köhler) ============================================================== What did I just download ? This is another Asteroids clone. It is system friendly and uses graphicscard at 640x480 any colour depth. Sound is done via AHI. Bugreports please send to support@hd-rec.de New in this release: * bugfixes for OS4 and MOS * USB keyboard support * pause via "p" is visible * added time and time bonus Older improvements: * internet highscore synchronisation uses only the first 3 positions * more music (highscore & in game) * glowing asteroids from wave 12 * new for 1.0: MOS GTString fix (Highscore), Music Loop fix * new for 1.1: workaround for unexplainable explosions or your ship (this is a nasty bug in cybergraphics or picasso96, where blit operations don't do exactly what they should!) * fixed a timing bug when AmigaOS was running for more than a few hours (eclock-overflow!) Installation: ============================================================== Double click the install icon and follow the instructions. Usage: ============================================================== Shoot all Asteroids and you will get to the next wave. An evil space ship will attack you from time to time. Every 2500 points you will get a bonus, such as Extra Life, Double Shot or Satellite. Use the SPACE bar when you are in trouble to get 3 secs shield. Default Keyboard Settings: "X" / "Y" = rotate R-Amiga = Shoot R-Shift = Thrust "-" = Inverse Thrust SPACE = Beam / Rescue (once a wave you can do this) ESC = Abort/Quit Configuration can be done via tooltypes, look there for description. There is also ingame music, but it needs a fast harddisk to not destroy game play. You can switch this off in tooltypes as well. Minimum requirements: ============================================================== Hardware: - 68040/25MHz or faster 68K Emu (Amithlon, WinUAE, Morphos, AOS4) - graphics card with at least 640x480 (no OCS/AGA!) - 32 MB RAM Software: - AmigaOS3.1+ - render.library, guigfx.library - mpega.libary - AHI 4 (ahi.device 5.29+) - Picasso96 or Cybergraphics Last minute hints: ============================================================== - Check the icon for tooltypes, here you can configure the keyboard control, screenmode and frames per second - To increase the performance close all screens and windows to save gfx memory - There are three versions: * AsteroidsTR full Asteroids game with all effects * AsteroidsTR_lite which will perform better on slower plattforms because it has less effects, but gameplay is the same * AsteroidsTR_scroll which has nice scrolling and slightly different gameplay but definetly needs fast gfx card * AsteroidsTR_cpu which is a special version for systems with fast CPU but slow gfx card, like Amithlon in VESA mode.
