Bomber 2.1 - The REAL arcade game! Page 2
┌─────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ I │ INTRODUCTION │
└─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Your mission is to destroy many ennemy bases on the path of your
bomber, a B-29. The first B-29s were created back in 1943 and have been
used a lot by the american army. The B-29 is equipped with one 20mm cannon,
a double .50mm machine gun and 22,000 lbs of bombs. It has been modified
a little for this game!
Many obstacles are on your path such as tanks, helicopters,
warships and many more! Will you be able to keep up?
Bomber is a game which has many features that makes it a superior
quality game, such as:
■ Stunning 256 color VGA graphics
■ Musical theme and digitized sound effets on a Sound Blaster or compatible
■ Many unique levels
I hope that you'll enjoy bomber. Many hors of work have been put in
this game, therefore I ask you to consider registering Bomber if you like it.
The author, Patrick Piché

│ II │ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS │
└─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Bomber should work on any 386 or more with at least 450K of free
conventional memory, but if you want the game to take full advantage of all
its features and be fast enough, a 25Mhz or more processor is recommended.
This game uses special 386 instructions, and thus will NOT work a 286
machines, sorry. The game supports the Sound Blaster for the playback
of music and digitized sound effects.
A couple of switches are available when starting this game, here
they are:
BOMBER -F The game will respond you in french.
BOMBER -NOSOUND The game will not play music on the Sound Blaster
BOMBER -IRQ:n Specifies the SB IRQ (2, 3, 5, 7, 10) Default:7
BOMBER -DMA:n Specifies the SB DMA channel (0, 1, 3) Default:1
BOMBER -SBADR:n Specifies the SB's hex port address, Default:220
BOMBER -NOSPIN Prevents the screen from "spinning" when you're shot!

│ III │ THE GAME │
└─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Bomber is very easy to start from DOS, you only have to type
BOMBER.EXE and it will automatically detect the type of sound card installed
in your system. The keys used in the game are the following:
Direction of your bomber: Cursor keys
Fire bullets : CTRL
Fire bombs : ALT
Quit the game : ESC
Pause : Space bar
That's it! Now, try to destroy the 3 bases of the game! You'll start
in a forest and the ennemy base will be at the end at about 200Km (120
miles). After that, other scenarios will be presented to you, it's up to you
to discover them! Note that the red cross is your aim and it's at its
position on the ground that your bombs will blow up.
You can eliminate gound ennemies with your bombs and helicopters with
your machine guns. There's no ammo limit, this game has been created for you
to let go your frustrations and not to frustrate you more!!! Let go your
destructive instinct and enjoy! You'll start with three livesl you gain one
more for every 10,000 points scored.

│ IV │ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS │
└─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Q: BOMBER hang, why is it for?
R: Maybe you have one exotic configuration, or are using bomber under a
special memory manager. BOMBER works well with EMM386, but seems to
hate QEMM. If problems persist after removing the memory manager, use a
boot disk. If problems persist, try the '-nosound' option and send me
some mail!
Q: Can I have the source code for this game?
R: No!
Q: What do I do if I like BOMBER?
R: Simple: you register it!
