- Gravity Well
-
- This is the game of Gravity Well for Windows from Software Engineering,
- Inc. It is a game of interstellar war with an arcade-like interface.
-
- There are several possible executables that may have been distributed
- with this archive. They are:
-
- GWELL.EXE - This version does not use the floating point math
- co-processor in your computer. It should pretty much work
- for anybody.
-
- GWELL_FP.EXE - This version is supposed to use the math-co if
- you have one, otherwise work without it. This one may not
- work if you do not have a math co-processor. Unfortunately,
- I've had some difficulty getting this compiler option to
- work reliably and Watcom's technical support isn't all that
- great.
-
- GWELL32.EXE - This is the Win32 version. If you are using Windows95
- or Window NT, or have Windows 3.11 with Win32s installed, this is
- the executable for you. I have a whopper saved game called BIGONE
- that I use for testing; there are nearly 300 units in the game.
- This executable is dramatically faster than the Watcom 32-bit guys.
-
- System Requirements:
- - Microsoft Windows. This has been tested under Windows For
- Workgroups, Windows95, and Windows NT Workstation.
- - You need a reasonably fast computer but not necessarily a
- screamer by today's standards. Try it, if it's too slow
- for you then your computer isn't fast enough.
- - High resolution video display. The bigger the screen the
- better. This game was sort of a personal challenge for
- me to make a decent arcade action video game under
- Windows that worked well at high resolution. I think I
- succeeded.
- - A mouse helps. Some controls can't be accessed without it
- but you don't really need them anyway.
- - A sound board adds to the fun but isn't required.
-
- Installation Instructions:
- Copy the files to a directory on your hard drive. There are
- no special path or environmental requirements. Just run the
- game. Add it to whatever program shell you use however you
- normally do it. That usually makes it easier to run again
- next time.
-
- This program is ShareWare.
