Brickoids is a computer game designed and created by Soth Development, an Icelandic Shareware games development group (See Soth Dev. Readme). The original version of Brickoids was released early 1997. This edition, Brickoids Millenium, is in many ways superior to former versions. It includes higher-quality sounds, considerably improved graphics and drum'n bass music in the background.
Brickoids is approximately 4000 lines of code and a lot of work has been put into it so we ask you to support shareware and register our other games, even if this one is freeware. If you feel obliged to show your appreciation then please send $15 to Ken Winograd, the programmer who made the original Brickles game, to whom we owe this entire game concept. You can contact him at ken@winograd.com.
Brickoids Requires:
* 640 x 480 resolution or better
* 8-bit colour (256 colours)
* 68040 or PowerPC processor
* System 7 or later
* About 4MB of RAM
