- Ant Hill
- volume 1 version 1.0
- (c) copyright 1991 by Chris Busch
-
- "Ants are small little harmless insects..."
- Not in the Amazon! You are an explorer investigating the burning of the
- Amazon Rain Forest. Many times you have heard the natives telling stories
- of over grown menacing ants, as large as wolves! Curious, you ask a native
- to lead you to one of the large ant hills. With much hesitation, he decides
- to bring you only within sight of the hill. Swallowing, you venture down
- into the depths...
-
- Ant Hill Features:
-
- - 640x350 16 color EGA graphics.
- - Mouse support.
- - Joystick support.
- - Interrupt driven sound.
- - Auto-timing or user controllable speed.
- - High score screen.
- - A nice helpful help screen.
- - 10 intriguing "levels" to amuse the most serious professional.
-
- Tips:
-
- You want to squish the black ants, but avoid the red ones. Be sure to
- collect all the ant eggs, gems, and pick axes you can find. Use the pick axes
- sparingly, it is unnecessary to break all the brittle walls. Don't rush!
- Sometimes you have to wait a while for the thing to move way out of your way.
- Most of all, have fun!
