- ZANTI! Version 1.2 (MAJOR video bug fixed in this version!) August 1993
- (supports 256 color graphics!)
-
- Howdy!
-
- Welcome to Zanti! This is a Windows 3.x game that requires you
- to visiualize and think ahead! The object of the game is to guide the
- Zanti invaders along the garden path until they reach the ending Path piece.
- (which can ONLY be entered from the right!) If they do, then the earth's
- military will wipe them out, and you win the game! If the Zantis get off
- the path because they reach the end before you can get an appropriate piece
- in place, or you get a wrong piece in place, or the path ends in a piece you
- can't change (such as a piece that they have already taken), or you run into
- their ship or an obstacle, you loose!
-
- Watch the ship closely to see which side the Zantis will come out!
- You will see the hatch open about 8 seconds before they emerge!
-
- Notice also that the score you get is based on how many pieces the
- Zantis cross before reaching the ending piece (that is, how long the
- game lasts) MINUS a penalty for how many unused pieces you put on the board!!
- The longer you keep the game going, the more points you get, but you CAN get
- a negative score if you just fill the board with pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- This requires, therefore, that you place the pieces cunningly, so that there
- is plenty of space for more path pieces, and then to get the Zantis off
- to the end! Extra points are also had for using a "X" piece twice.
-
- 1. As the levels progress, the line grid will be replaced by fewer and
- fewer dots to mark the grid locations, till finally nothing is seen!
-
- 2. The Zantis will gradually (as the levels get higher) move faster.
-
- 3. Blocks which you must go around will be placed starting with level 3, one
- more at each higher level.
-
- 4. Occasionally a suprise grid spot will be deactivated until you place one
- or two blocks nearby, then it will be reactivated.
-
- To activate sounds, music & theme, select them from the Options menu
- in the start-up screen. If the proper sound files are not present, a system
- beep will be heard instead of the appropriate sound. To activate PG-13 mode,
- select it from the options menu of the start-up screen. If the proper image
- files are not present, you will not be able to select it. These two modes
- (sound & PG-13) are selected when a checkmark is next to the respective options.
- The sound configuration is automatically saved each time you change it. PG-13
- mode is always deselected... you have to select it each time you play Zanti!.
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- For the basic version of Zanti!, only the first set of files needs to be
- in the Zanti! directory: (they should all be there after unzipping the .zip
- file!)... If you want sound and PG-13 version, you need additional files.
- (from a separate .zip file)
-
- BASIC Zanti! files*:
- zantxx.exe
- zanti.scr
- zant.cfg
- hurra.bmp
- moonerth.bmp
-
- Windows MM Sound files (adlib, soundblaster, PCspeaker driver**):
- xxxxx.wav (29 of these files)
-
- PG-13 support files***:
- girl1.bmp through girl26.bmp (PG-13 rated version only!)
-
- notes:
- * Zanti! will run with just these files present, but you won't
- be able to select sounds, theme, music or PG-13
- (...these are in the Zanti!12.zip file)
-
- ** If these files are also present, and the Windows sound driver
- (or adlib, or soundblaster drivers), then you will be able to select
- and hear sounds, theme & music. (If you use the PC-speaker driver,
- you must enable interrupts or the action will freeze during sound
- events.) (...these are in the zansound.zip file)
-
- *** If these files are also present, Zanti! will run in PG-13 mode and
- reward each successful completion of a level with a beautiful lady
- just for you! (...these are in the zantpg13.zip file)
-
