║ PC GALAXY WARS v1.1b by Stephen Haigh (c) JULY 1991 ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Files included :
GALAXY.DOC - This document.
GALAXY.COM - The game itself. For information on command line
options just type GALAXY.
Program description :
This game is based on the popular arcade game GALAXIANS.
The program is written completely in 8086 assembler utilising the
sound and graphics capability of the IBM PC range of computers.
NOTICE:
THIS GAME IS NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Please support the SHAREWARE concept.
Hardware requirements :
First the bad news. This game will not run on any PC fitted with
a Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) or Hercules Graphics Adapter.
Now the good news.
The game should run perfectly on either CGA , EGA or VGA systems.
The CGA mode uses an un-documented 16 colour mode allowing
the same graphics to be produced on all systems.
The speed of the game is not dependant on the processor clock.
The game speed is sychronised with the vertical refresh rate of
the graphics adapter in use. This means that the speed depends
slightly on the adapter mode selected.
Memory requirements are minimal, only enough to load the .COM file
and run. (64K)
Software requirements :
The minimum DOS version required is 2.0.
Game details :
The game is designed to closely follow the original arcade version.
The controls and scoring are as shown below.
KEYS: WHILE PLAYING
Cursor LEFT - Moves LEFT
Cursor RIGHT - Moves RIGHT
Space - Fire
S - Toggle sound ON/OFF
P - Pause game
Q - Quit to DOS
KEYS: HIGH SCORE TABLE ENTRY

Space bar - Accept chosen letter
SCORING: POINTS

Green 'escort' Galaxian - 40
Yellow 'leader' Galaxian - 60
'attack' in flight - 100

An extra life is awarded at 10,000 points.
If you would like more information on the sampled speech then
just mention when you register (see below).
At present ( August '91 ) I am working on some high quality
sound sampling utilities and simple capture circuit.

fact by sending £10.00 UK sterling to the address shown below.
In return I will send you a fully featured version + a few extras.
