- Introduction:
-
- Kix is an arcade style video game for the PC similar to the old Taito
- arcade game Qix. Using your stylus, you attempt to draw areas on the
- game board without getting caught by the Kix or other opponents. You
- complete a level after you have claimed a certain percentage of the
- total board. Higher levels have wilder Kix; eventually you must deal
- with two Kix! Requires a fast 286 PC or better with VGA. Support for
- keyboard and joystick control with PC speaker sound effects included.
-
- Distribution:
-
- This program is FREEWARE and is released into the public domain. It may
- be freely distributed so long as the original archive file nor any of its
- contents are modified in any way.
-
- Installation:
-
- Create a directory for the program files, e.g.: mkdir \games\kix. Using
- PKZIP 2.04g, unzip the program files into the directory just created.
- Then, type kix to begin. YOUR CURRENT DIRECTORY MUST BE WHERE THE
- PROGRAM FILES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. If all goes well, the main menu will
- be displayed which contains information on configuring the program and
- setting options.
-
- Background Files:
-
- One of the nice features of the program is to display background images
- when you uncover pieces of the board. These images are available in
- another archive called KIXBACK.ZIP which should be available wherever you
- obtained the main program files.
-
- Information on contacting the author is included with the on-line help.
