- ABOUT
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CHAMP Asteroids is a replica of the classic Atari version. CHAMP
- Asteroids features full 256-color graphics with joystick, keyboard, or
- mouse control.
-
- CHAMP Asteroids was designed completed by myself and took just about a
- month to complete. The original version was black and white in the
- VGA 640x480 graphics mode. Look for this version's release soon as
- CHAMP Asteroids Classic. Asteroids, like Pac-man and Centipede, is one
- one of favorite arcade games, but I was unable to find a decent copy
- out there. I hope you enjoy playing CHAMP Asteroids as much as I did
- designing the thing.
-
- The game itself is programmed in C and assembly. The sounds, unfortunately,
- are of the basic one-voice PC speaker variety. If anyone out there can
- direct me down the path to SoundBlaster and Adlib support for my games, I
- would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have any other classic arcade
- games you would like see in CHAMP format, or any comments about
- the ones you've tried, drop me a note.
