- INTRODUCTION:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Back in the good old days of the Commodore 64, I had a game called Eggburt
- in which you had to prevent an egg from smashing whilst you hit buttons
- that appeared on the side of the screen. I had never seen this game or a
- game like it on the Amiga, so I decided to write one. I did, and Mash - The
- Potato is the result.
-
- The game was coded entirely using Amos Basic and the graphics were drawn
- using Deluxe Paint III. The samples were grabbed using the Master Sound
- Sampler, and the music was taken from the PD disk "Spacewriter".
-
- LOADING:
- ~~~~~~~~
- It can be loaded in either of three ways: by putting it in at the Workbench
- prompt, or by loading it from the Workbench or CLI.
-
-
- PLAYING:
- ~~~~~~~~
- The game will load onto the title screen. From here, just press fire to
- start. The idea of the game is simple: press the red button on the side of
- the screen whilst trying to prevent the bomb from either passing over the
- yellow lines or from hitting the screen boundaries. To keep hold of the
- bomb, keep pressing fire. The game starts off easy, but then it begins to
- get more difficult as the buttons move and the playing area becomes
- restricted.
-
-
- WINNING:
- ~~~~~~~~
- You have won the game when you defeat the guardian. When the guardian blows
- off its six limbs, it isn't dead. What can that bomb be used for...?!
-
-
- COMPILATIONS:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If anyone should wish to use Mash in one of their compilations, I will tell
- you that it needs the Diskfont.Library to be in the Libs directory of the
- boot disk. Without this, the game will not load.
