- About Bomber 1.0
- ================
-
- This is the Amiga Version of the Game "Bombs" on the Mac.
- Bomber 1.0 is in the public domain (unless the concept is
- copyrighted - remember T*TR*S? - but that's very unlikely).
-
- I saw this thing a week ago on a friend's office mac. After
- playing some minutes (or was it hours?), I wondered how this
- great idea could still not exist for the Amiga (at least not
- with this or a similar name).
-
- So I decided to make it exist.
-
- To install the game on your harddisk, just drag all files (not
- necessarily the sources of course) or the whole drawer to your
- preferred games partition/drawer.
-
- You will need 2.0 to play this game, it multitasks well and the
- memory reqirements are neglectible. The game as is will need
- about 40K of 'any' mem, 0.5K - 50K of chip mem, depending on the
- position and size of the window, and 100K of chip mem for the
- sounds. You can easily reduce the program's chipmem needs by
- removing the sounds (or replacing them with smaller ones).
-
- Click on "About" to see the rules. I strongly recommend using
- ARQ, the Amiga ReQuester enhancer. The EasyRequests look ten
- times better than with plain 2.0.
-
- Of those 40K of 'any' mem, 20K are the program's stack. You
- should not try to save mem by cutting the stack size. Actually,
- when running the game on a high resolution display or on a big
- virtual screen, you should raise this value to avoid crashs.
-
- If you have other problems running the game, try starting it from
- the shell. It should print out, what's wrong. If that doesn't
- help... hm, maybe you will have to live without it...
-
- The sources are included. There's nothing special or tricky
- about the coding, just standard 2.0 stuff. But as I learn 2.0
- programming from other people's sources, I think I should give
- you the chance to do so as well.

- P.S.:
-
- Nobody said you won't need luck in some situations... ;-)
-
-
- P.P.S.:
-
- SH*T... I have now been told it HAS been ported, also the
- original version was a game called "MineSweeper" on HAL
- computers. But my version is the best, anyway ;-). Also,
- someone told me there's a shareware version out there --- I think
- it's really a bit too much to ask for money for such a minigame!
