HoverTank, from here on out refered to as HTank, is your simple minded
game where you are a Hover Tank and you go around hunting your foe.
You start out at either a random or predetermined location, depending
on the map that you are on.
HTank was written in C and Assembley. It was written in 386+ code so
you must have a 386+ to play. Sorry, but if you don't have this then
go out and buy cooler stuff.
The game isn't that hard, really. From the first screen you have many
options. They are as follows:
Play - Play against another player
Either two keyboard or one keyboard and one joystick
Drone
Play - Play the drone at the set levels that are shown here
Speed - Adjust the speed at which the drone moves
Rate - Adjust the rate at which the drone shoots
Atti - Adjust the drones attitude (less is less agressive
i.e. run away mode.)
NOTICE: THE DRONE IS TO BE USED AS PRACTICE ONLY! We didn't intend
for this to be a one player game. So find one of your
friends to play with and kill each other! (Mucho grande)
In the registered version there will be an improved and smarter drone.
Joystick
Player - Changes the player that is assigned to use the joystick
Center - Centers the joystick
Keys
Change - Change the keys that the keyboard people use
WARNING: Eating pork after each meal will eventually give you worms if
the pork isn't cooked, and some key combinations will work
better than others. Play around and find the one that works
best for you. (We suggest one player uses the joystick, this
make everything easier.)
Save - Save the settings for the keys, and the joystick and the
all the other options.
Load - Load the saved setting if you have changed anything since
loading
Options
Map - Change the map to different ones. (More in the registered
version, and can edit own.)
Walls - Change the number of non-shootable walls on map (Random map only)
Rock - Change the number of shootable walls on map (Random map only)
Bombs - Change the number of bombs on map (Random map only)
When you are finally in the game, whether or not it is with the drone or
not, all you have to do is hunt your foe and kill them. There are a few
things that help you in this mission. One thing is the mines. They are
the grey and red things that are distributed throughout the map. One
stragety that you might use is to hurl you foe into a mine to take away
part of his life-force. But, watch out, he can WARP into another plane
of existance (actually another part of the map) and you might just hurl
yourself into the mine. Oh yeah, you are probably wondering about what
WARP is. It's just that, you can warp to another part of the screen,
but you only have a limited number (Kind of like limited hyperspace).
The score is added up each time someone dies, then just press F1 or F2 to
restart, with the same score, and see how high of a score you and your
pal can get. If you leave the game, i.e. go back to the main menu, the
score is reset and when you play again the scores will be 0.
So have fun playing...
