Gravity Well
This is the game of Gravity Well for Windows from Software Engineering,
Inc. It is a game of interstellar war with an arcade-like interface.
There are several possible executables that may have been distributed
with this archive. They are:
GWELL.EXE - This version does not use the floating point math
co-processor in your computer. It should pretty much work
for anybody, albeit slowly.
GWELL_FP.EXE - This version is supposed to use the math-co if
you have one, otherwise work without it. This one may not
work if you do not have a math co-processor.
GWELL32.EXE - This is the Win32 version. If you are using Windows 95
or Window NT, or have Windows 3.11 with Win32s installed, this is
the executable for you. This executable is dramatically faster than
the Win16 versions.
System Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows. This has been tested under Windows For
Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT.
- You need a reasonably fast computer but not necessarily a
screamer by today's standards. Try it, if it's too slow
for you then your computer isn't fast enough.
- High resolution video display. The bigger the screen the
better. This game was sort of a personal challenge for
us to make a decent arcade action video game under
Windows that worked well at high resolution. I think we
succeeded.
- A mouse helps. Some controls can't be accessed without it
but you don't really need them anyway.
- A sound board adds to the fun but isn't required.
Installation Instructions:
Copy the files to a directory on your hard drive. There are
no special path or environmental requirements. Just run the
game. Add it to whatever program shell you use however you
normally do it. That usually makes it easier to run again
next time.
Most versions of this program are distributed as ShareWare. The following
exceptions list versions that are distributed under a prepaid licensing
agreement.
Version 3.6 - Limelight Publishing.
Version 3.6 - Computer Curriculum Corporation.
