- 1:SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- The game should work on 386(not tested) and about 500k base memory.
- I recommend 486(dx), which I(Rooster) have myself.Game runs quite
- OK with it.With sounds, game requires about 250k extended memory.
- Sorry about the speed, but isn't this the Pentium generation? (Not
- from my side yet).If the game is much too slow, disable sounds from
- setup.
- If sounds don't work, try disabling EMM386 from your config.sys.
-
- 2:ABOUT THE GAME
-
- You must run setup.exe before you can play Avenger.
- Your mission is to destroy everything that moves(YES!).
- Keys are very simple: arrows(left and right)move ship left and right.
- Right alt(Alt Gr?) fires.Pgdn and Pgup adjusts the game speed (this
- is only required on faster machines).Esc returns to main menu and
- this works as pause at the sametime.
- Sometimes you'll get shield upgrades, and weapon speed upper.
- Those are in S item, which comes from exploding enemy.
- You can get a double gun from big enemy and after you have got that,
- you will get speed upper from the same.
-

- 7:SPECIAL THANKS
-
- This game uses SMIX (C real mode) by Ethan Brodsky.
- Thank him of the sounds, not us.Without Ethan's SMIX, this game
- would not have sounds at all(maybe).It's really good sound
- engine.
-
- Also thanks to everybody in Triplex and MBnet, you helped me(Rooster)
- a lot in making this game run little bit faster.
