- STARMADA
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~

-
-
-
- Sitting comfortably in your cockpit, surrounded by nice clicky
- switches, you anxiously flick the POWER switch. Your cockpit
- powers up and you see your spacecraft shown green on a starmap
- in front of you. Also shown, is the top secret blue-probe that
- you must capture before the enemy does! Tension mounts as you
- hit the thrusters to head for glory, but then...
-
- Starmada is a turn based, space war game, requiring skill,
- strategy and good fortune. Each player commands a Starmada - a
- group of armed spacecraft. The first Starmada to locate and
- secure the top secret blue-probe and deliver it to the shuttle
- wins the game. You can also practice solo. You'll need an IBM PC
- or 100% compatible, 486/33MHz, 4MB RAM (or higher), VGA, Sound
- Blaster or 100% compatible, a mouse and Windows 3.1 or 95.
-

-
- Installation
- ------------
- The Starmada files are distributed in a compressed format to
- reduce internet download time or so that they fit on a floppy.
-
- Do you have starmada.zip or starmada.EXE?
-
- starmada.zip - If you have downloaded the distribution file
- starmada.zip from the internet, you will need
- to unpack it using a program such as pkunzip
- or Winzip, etc...
-
- starmada.EXE - If you have the distribution file, starmada.EXE
- (on a floppy disk), then you need to unpack it
- by double clicking it from your file manager.
-
-
- Create an Icon
- --------------
- If you want to quick-start Starmada (by double clicking an icon
- on the desktop), create an icon shortcut to starmada.exe as
- follows:-
-
- Win 3.1 - From Program Manager, select File/New/Program Item
- e.g. Description: Starmada
- e.g. Command line: c:\starmada\starmada.exe
-
- Win 95 - Right-click on the desktop, select New/Shortcut
- e.g. Command line: c:\starmada\starmada.exe

- Settings tab. Adjust the Desktop area slider to 640 by 480
