- 'DEPTHCHARGE'
- -------------
-
- (C) 18.1.94 Neil Strotton
-
- Introduction:
- -------------
-
- Depthcharge is based on an old arcade game that was around when I was a nipper (about 10 years ago!)
-
- You control a submarine destroyer and must destroy as many enemy submarines as possible by dropping depthcharges on them.
-
- The enemy subs have 2 means of defense :-
-
- 1. Mines - These are released from the subs and float slowly up to the
- surface. One hit from one of these and you're sunk!
-
- 2. Torpedos - These are only launched from subs which are directly beneath
- you. They move fast and are much harder to avoid.
-
-
- Controls:
- ---------
-
- Joystick controls - Left/Right to move destroyer
-
- - Hold fire button down and nudge joystick Left or Right
- to fire a depthcharge.
-
- Press SPACE to pause the game
-
- Press Left Mouse Button to quit
-
-
- Other Info:
- -----------
-
- You can only fire 4 depthcharges at once - so the key is to be accurate
- rather than trigger-happy!
-
- Points are scored for each sub destroyed based on the depth of the sub.
- i.e. The deeper the sub the higher the score
- Small subs score double.
-
- Torpedos are more likely to be fired the higher the level you are on.
-
- Some torpedos fail to explode on contact with the destroyer
- (not many though)!
-
-
-
-
- Depthcharge was designed and programmed by Neil Strotton.
- It is public domain and may be freely copied but not hacked/altered or
- sold for profit.
