- Toad
- ----
-
- Toad is a rendition of the "Frogger" arcade game of the 1980's. For those
- of you who don't remember (or never even heard of it), the goal of Toad
- is to safely escort toads from the bottom of the screen to the safety of the
- recesses in the hedge at the top of the screen. The only thing barring your
- path is four lanes of traffic, a roaring stream (which you must cross by
- hopping from log to log), some wandering snakes, submerging turtles, and oh
- yes, a time limit.
-
- Toad is a 32 bit C++ program written using Watcom C++. As such, it requires
- a 386SX or better processor. In addition, Toad needs an EGA or VGA compatible
- graphics display and at least about 3 Meg of memory for best results. If
- a SoundBlaster compatible card is available, the game will make use of it.
-
- To install the game, copy the SETUP.BAT file and the INSTALL1.EXE file to
- the directory where Toad is to be installed. Next run the SETUP.BAT file.
- The setup will build subdirectories for storing graphics and sound files
- associated with the program. When the setup is complete you may delete the
- SETUP.BAT and INSTALL1.EXE file to save disk space.
-
- To run the game type TOAD and press ENTER. (If you wish the game to play
- QUIETLY with no music or sound effects, type TOAD Q.) While playing the game,
- you may use the following keys:
- Arrow keys: Move the toad in the direction indicated
- B or b: "Boss" mode
- P or p: Pause the game until p or P is pressed again
- Q or q: Quit the game
-
-
- That's about all there is to it. Play, enjoy, and don't forget to
- register!
-
- If you run into any problems with the game please send me a message at
- spidey@metronet.com and I will try to get it resolved as soon as possible.
