- Shooting Gallery v2.2 has only minor changes over previous versions.
- Some additional music has been added at various places. At the end
- of the game you now recycle back to the title screen so all game
- options (practice, hall of fame, etc.) are again available. Menu
- control itself has improved; you can now jump from option to option
- in a more standard manner (i.e., with a help screen up you can select
- "play" without first exiting the help screens). The game also now
- checks to make sure you have a mouse; in the past if you started up
- with no mouse driver loaded there was no way to exit the game.
-
- Some people with lots of TSR's and other things were running out of
- available memory, especially with the new round 7 which uses a lot
- more memory than the previous rounds. The game now attempts to
- determine if enough memory is available before running and gives a
- warning if there appears to be too little memory. In v2.1 this
- warning didn't work quite right but it should be correct now.
-
- Earlier changes:
-
- v2.0 added a new round 7, a wild west shootout. This is a major new
- feature which I think you will like.
-
- There were also some minor bug fixes and the way the game calibrates
- itself for your computer's clock speed was changed. Hopefully the
- new system will work better than that in v1.0.
-
- Many people playing v1.0 got "error 202" messages. This has now been
- fixed (actually it was fixed in v1.1). If you still get this message
- or any other error message please let me know, and include as many
- details as possible such as what round it occurs in, what you were
- doing, your computer type, CPU speed, etc.
-
- If you are upgrading from v1.0 there are two additional features now
- available to you that were added in v1.1:
-
- You can turn off the sound with the " -s" command line option.
-
- Also, for those few people for which the game plays too fast, there
- is another command line option that lets you slow things down. Use
- " -d###" where ### is a number that determines how much to slow things.
- See the shoot.doc file for complete details.
