Hong Tron Phooey [128 byte] by Reservoir Gods [web]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | HONG TRON PHOEEY | | | | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ THE WORLD'S FIRST EVER 128 BYTE GAME By Reservoir Gods By day George was a humble dogsbody, a simple school janitor whose hours were spent sweeping up crisp packets and fag ends from behind the bike sheds. His only small moments of pleasure came when cleaning the girls changing rooms during PE sessions. But as night swept over the swirling metropolis, George leapt into his filing cabinet and emerged as 'Hong Tron Phooey' Number 128byte Supervisor Mode guy! With the scent of the night air filling his nostrils, George would leap aboard his quantum powered atomic tricycle and hurtle high through the night air leaving a laser trail in his wake. The thrill of the ride came with avoiding the mountainous skyscrapers that littered the city. Tonight was special. Tonight George was going to paint the town white with his strobing laser trail. He tightened his grip on the throttle and roared off into the night sky. -=HONG/TRON/PHOOEY=- A whole Falcon game in 128 bytes? We kid you not, Atari kids. One hundred and twenty eight bytes of raw throbbing Falcon action lie quivering in the humble bytes of this file. . INSTALLATION Set your Falcon into True Colour 320x400 Mode (Interlace On/Double Line Off) Run 'HONGTRON.PRG' Hold on tight! It's gonna be a bumpy ride! . HONG KONG As you are flying through the sky, the city of Hong Kong looks mostly blue. Due to a hole in the space/time continuum, flying off the boundaries of the city will wrap you round to the other side. You can see the tops of the SkyScrapers on the map. Avoid them or you will die. Horribly. Your sky-trike leaves a searing trail in the sky. Do not drive into it or you will die. Even more horribly. . TRON Use Cursor Left to turn your sky-trike left. Use Cursor Right to turn your sky-trike right. After dying you will be warped to a different part of the city. All city maps are based on original Ordnance Survey layouts. . PHOOEY We are truly sorry that this game is so bobbins. 128 bytes is not much for an entire game. We might do a super enhanced 256 byte version with multiple players, AI and score and stuff. Alternatively, we may just stay in bed and listen to "My Beatbox" by Deejay Punk-Roc. . THE CULPRIT It's all the fault of MrPink and his crazy night-time devpac antics. All other members of RG are totally absolved of blame as they were all "washing their hair" during its creation. . THANKS DHS for starting the ball rolling... ALT for the great party MSG for words sh3 for pictures CIH for reading TAT for writing UCM for reviewing EXA for K BSS for debuggers 505 for loving 128 byte action ART for the forthcoming demo WRC for being the only other 3 letter acronym I can think of FIN for being such a cool country! .

WARNING The only surefire way to hide from the onslaught of 128 byte stuffs is to lock yourself in a dark cupboard. In Poland. Don't peek through the keyhole. . LAST WORDS A comment on 'Hong Tron Phooey' from the right honourable William Hague, MP: "This is what the youth of this country have been reduced to under the leadership of this fragmented government! Itsss a disgraaaace" ---- Yorkshire Slur -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [c] 1998 Reservoir Gods --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
