a 32kb game by crossbone/ TBH
TiNY VERSiON - [for the mekka&symposion '97] ---------------- [03-28-1997]
requirements
------------------
Simply use a 486DX2/66-based or better machine and you will most likely
enjoy the game. It should work on a 386 as well, but don't bet on it.
In addition, you need an Adlib compatible soundcard to hear some music.
Basically, every SoundBlaster should do.
how to play
------------------
I guess I don't have to write that much...
Anyway, move the ship with the cursorkeys and shoot your selected
weapon with CTRL or SPACE. You can switch between two weapons using
the ALT key; there are the Mini Missiles and the Quadro Laser.
The Mini Missiles are available in unlimited supply, while the Quadro
Laser gets empty when using it. You can refresh its energy by picking
up the blue energy capsules. The grey power-ups increase your shield's
energy, which is displayed in grey bars on the left side of the screen.
Simply pick up the power-ups by flying over them.
To exit the game, press ESC or play until you reach the end of the
level. Try to stay alive by not bumping into other ships and avoiding
their shots.
And don't forget: to get the big points you need to kick some butt!
info
------------------
This piece was coded and designed by crossbone of The Black Hazard.
Of course, size optimizations were the main point. I did not want to
miss much of what I have in the big version of Mission Mopreme (which
is about 4MB), so I had to fight some time to get all the gfx, routines
and the adlib tune into 32kb.
For example, I only saved one half of the ships in the linked bitmaps
and mirrored them at runtime, as well as puzzling together the back-
ground elements... =)
The graphics were created using Picture Publisher and Paint Shop Pro,
and the adlib song was composed with Reality's adlib-tracker RAD.
Oh yes, like I wrote, a really entertaining big version of this game
exists. Featuring many different scenarios, cool digital GUS/SB music
and almost everything you might have missed in the 32kb version, namely
menus, upgrading etc.
That's it, 31359 bytes of fun. enjoy.
