If run on a 386 you may experience agrivatingly slow responce and on a 286 or lower it absolutely will not run. This is due to the level of graphics and music going on in the game Also because the game requires 640x480, 256 color graphics an SVGA Monitor is required. þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ Getting Stuck þ From time to time, the ball may appear to be stuck somewhere and seem as though it will never get out. There is no situation where the ball will not free itself eventually. The ball can get stuck for quite some time however. If you do not feel like waiting for a couple minutes for the ball to free itself, press the ~ key (which will cause you to loose one life but will let you launch a new ball) þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ Power Ups þ The most important aspect of the game is the power ups. It is important that you learn what they do. When you change colors, that means you have gotten a new power up. In the lower right side of the screen the name of the power up you now have is displayed. In the instructions there is a description of what each power up does. þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ Joystick Problems þ The add in program helper that I use to make the joystick work and the add in program helper I use to make the music work do not like each other (they wont work together). That is why there is no option to turn the music on when using the joystick. þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ Memory Mangers þ The add in program helper that I use to make the music work also does not like certain memory managers (like QEMM I think) The music may make your machine lock up if you are running a memory manager that it disagrees with. If you get persistent lockups then try running the game with the regular PC-Speaker (it certainly doesn't sound as great) but you should be able to play the game without lockups) Also, in the beginning of writing this game the graphics helper I use didn't like certain VESA drivers, I don't know if that problem has been fixed or not. þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ Cheat Codes þ There are cheat codes that can be used during the game. If you would like a list of them, indicate this on your order form when you register. They allow you to skip boards without finnishing, make funky colors, have the ball leave a trail and many more. þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ EMail þ If you find further problems or have further comments, my Compuserve EMail Address is 75570,2760 and my internet address is 75570.2760@compuserve.com þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ þ © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © ©³ ³© ©Ý If you have a working modem and live in the 716 area code or Þ© ©³ don't mind paying long distance fees, you can find more AMProSoft ³© ©Þ Shareware at Ú´þStarpoint Technology Station BBSþÿ Ý© ©³ ÄÄÂÄÅÄ¿ (716)826-6072 Node 1 28.8kbps ÚÄÅÄÂÄÄ ³© ©Ý ÁÄÅÄ´ (716)826-0416 Node 2 14.4kbps ÃÄÅÄÁ Þ© ©³ ÚÄ Ä Ä Ä Ä ÁÄÙ (716)826-6212 Node 3 14.4kbps ÀÄÁ Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä¿ ³© ©Þ ³ þ Free access þ Friendly SysOp: Special Agent ³ Ý© ©³ ³ þ Family Oriented þ I am user #7 on STS. ³ ³© ©ÛÍÍÍÍ; ÔÍÍÛ© ©Û© © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © ©Û© This program is shareware; please feel free to share it with your friends and upload it to your favorite bulletin board, but do order a registered copy if you've enjoyed it.
