version 1.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U-Boat Alley by Julian Scott
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---NOTE---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE UNREGISTERED VERSION IS LIMITED TO ONE LEVEL PER GAME,
BUT YOU CAN STILL START AT OTHER LEVELS TO TRY THEM OUT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
The game will allocate itself a 32k database. If this fails, and the game
returns with a message about not enough memory, try defragging your
Pilot and try again.
This game is a shoot-em-up that requires subtle timing rather than
repeated button pressing.
The Game
--------
You are guarding the sea lanes.
The enemy are bombarding the lanes with u-boats. You must stop them.
The idea of each level is to destroy x number of u-boats
before y number of u-boats cross the screen and escape.
In medium difficulty setting (the default) you must blow up 15 u-boats
before 5 escape. The numbers change when you alter the difficulty.
This sounds easy, but you have a maximum number of 4 depth charges active
simultaniously. You must time your shots carefully, or your depth charges
will land harmlessly on the ocean floor.
Your ship also has missiles to shoot down enemy aircraft.
On later levels the enemy will deploy different things to stop you.
Copters:
These drop bombs on you. avoid at all costs.
JetSkis:
These ram your ship. If you face towards them they will be destroyed
on your bow, with no damage to you, but if they ram you from behind
they will cause damage
Suicide Divers:
The divers swim towards your ship in the hope of attaching high
explosive to your hull. Drop depth charges on them before they
reach you, or lure them to their deaths on you propellor blades.
Also, watch out for Dolphins. Try not to harm these creatures. Doing so will
reduce your score. (by quite a lot)
Planes fly across the screen from time to time. Shoot them down, and from
their debris will drop a health pack. Pick this up to increase your health.
If you let the maximum number of u-boats escape, they get through to their
base, and launch a nuclear warhead at your boat!!! You cannot destroy this!
You die, and the game is over, if your health reaches zero.
If you kill the required amount of u-boats, you progress to the next level.
