- 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. 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!!!
-
-
- 4. Controls
-
- Pacman is moved around the grid using the cursor keys. 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.
-
-
- 5. Registration
-
- The registered version of Dodger includes a new set of levels and a
- complete graphical level editor enabling you to create and play you own
- fiendish levels.
-
- Notes on how to register are included in the help file.
