-
- 1. WHAT IS DODGER
-
- Dodger is a simple but addictive arcade style windows game.
-
-
- 2. THE STORY SO FAR...
-
- The year is 1982 and pacman has once again managed to be zapped
- back inside a home computer. His only chance of escape from the
- evil bad guy - the one that appears in all arcade games - is to
- eat his way through multiple levels of mayhem thus thwarting the
- sinister plot to take over the world.
-
- This may sound a simple task but there are four mean laser machines
- just waiting to blast pacman's hide into oblivion.
-
- It is going to take all of pacman's skill, cunning and judgement to
- dodge the laser fire and to eventually reach his goal of early
- retirement (no more pacman games please - Pacman)
-
-
- 3. WHATS NEW IN THIS VERSION
-
- Version 1.1 has two extra features that were brought to my attention
- by many people. The new features are as follows:
-
- * A Pause key;
- * Speed control such that the game can be slowed down;
- * As an extra bonus it features a couple extra levels;
- * And most importantly a change of registration address.
-
-
- 4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Dodger requires a minimum of a 286 running windows 3.1 (it is compiled
- to run on windows 3 although this hasn't been tested).
-
- For screen resolutions of greater than 800x600 there is a zoom option
- to increase the size of the screen. This may be turned off for slow
- video cards.
-
- If your Windows system has a sound driver installed then the sound
- effects can be heard, these can be turned off if the sound system
- is synchronous as the game will pause while a playing a sound sample.
- (Synchronous drivers include the PC speaker driver.)
-
- Note: Unlike other arcade style windows games that require a high spec
- PC, this game is very playable on my 286/16!!!
-
-
- 5. CONTROLS
-
- Pacman is moved around the grid using either the cursor keys or the keys:
- Q, A, O and P. Once Pacman is on the move he won't stop until he can go
- no further in the selected direction.
-
- At the end of each level a password is displayed. Once a note has been
- made of the password, pressing the return key will start the next level.
-
- Tip: Pacman can be stopped when travelling parallel to a wall by pressing
- the cursor key in the direction of the wall.
-
-
- 6. REGISTRATION
-
- Dodger is Shareware, therefore a registration fee is required if you wish
- to keep playing the game.
-
- Registration costs 5 UK pounds (cash, cheque or postal order) or
- 10 US dollars (cash only please)
