- PacMan 87
-
- Instructions
-
- After Un-Arcing this main file there are a few things you must do BEFORE
- you can start playing PacMan 87.
-
- 1- Format a disk and name it "PM".
-
- 2- Make the following directories on the "PM" disk:
-
- S
- Misc
- Animations
- Sounds
- Levels
-
- 3- Copy the un-arced files to the 'PM' disk.
-
- 4- Execute the REN file. i.e. from CLI type Execute REN <return>
- (This script file will rename the unarced files and place them into
- the proper directory)
-
- 5- To run the PacMan 87 game with full effect (title screen & notices)
- Execute S/Startup-Sequence.
- i.e. from CLI type Execute S/Startup-Sequence <return>.
-
- 6- You can Install this disk and make it Auto-Boot By transferring the
- necessary files from a workbench disk and 'Installing' the disk.
- Make Sure you have the Math.Trans library on the 'PM' disk if you
- do this. The Program requires it!
-
-
- Game Features:
-
- 1- PacMan 87 was designed to be played just like the origional game. There
- are some MAJOR differences though such as Traps (Fire pits, Stabbing
- Knives, Electric Arcs and Flame Throwers) that must be avoided!
-
- 2- PacMan 87 has 3 different levels of difficulty: 1- Easy (You Think So?),
- 2- Medium (Check it out when you get GOOD.) and 3- Hard (Do you feel
- suicidal?!?).
-
- 3- The sounds can be toggled on or off.
-
- 4- The Game keeps track of the Top Ten scorers and automatically sorts and
- prompts for you to input your initials thru joystick movements!
- Look at the Graphic images here.
-
- 5- All of the features are accessed thru Pull Down Menues.
-
- 6- The object of the game? Survive! The more points you get the harder this
- is.
-
- 7- There are 5 levels to play and you can go back and forth to and from
- these levels via the cycling stairways. You will figure it out!
-
- 8- ALL pills must be eaten on ALL levels before you start over with full
- boards.
-
- 9- You do not have to eat all the pills on one level before proceeding to
- another level.
-
- 10- The different levels are different colors and you MUST remember where
- you are at as well as which levels have pills remaining on them Just
- like a Maze.
-
- 11- The Ghosts are unpredictable. Some will come straight at you and others
- will trap you. Keep track if you can.
-
- 12- Pause and Play is selected thru the Joystick Button or PAUSE/PLAY
- gadgets at the bottom of the screen.
-
- 13- Place your joystick in port #2.
-
- 14- To quit the program select the QUIT gadget at the bottom of the screen.
-
- 15- Although this program was set up for a multitasking environment it is
- suggested that you do not do this NOR have any other programs running
- that require sounds or sprites (Other than the pointer). For the
- animation sequences to react properly and smoothly this is required.
- If you do multitask this program it will sleep quietly as well as
- automatically pause when the backgroung gadget is selected.
-
- 16- This program was used as a learning tool for Jim and Myself. Another
- project is in the works that will blow your socks off! More on this
- when closer to completion.
-
- 17- HAVE FUN! and spread it around (EXCEPT TO COMPUSERVE). Do Not Upload
- this program to CIS and if you find this program on CIS please call
- or write me and let me know. CompuServe has this NASTY copyright
- policy, They say they hold the copyrights to ALL programs, etc that
- are uploaded to their service.
