Walls features : - 11 extras - 32/64 colour graphics + some AGA-pictures - 7 different music tracks + some jingles - 50 different levels - passwords for each level Walls is based on the old Breakout-games. The purpose in each level is to destroy all bricks with a small ball which can be controlled with a pad. ****************************************************************************** **** Loading the Game **** ****************************************************************************** After unpacking the archive simply double-click the Walls'97-icon. The game should then load automatically. If something seems to go wrong, check wether the powerpacker.library is present in the libs folder. If you get some message like "Out of Memory" this may be a hint that you don't have enough free chip mem (the game will need something between 600k and 700k). Walls doesn't save any files to different places, so deleting the Walls-folder will discard the game completely. ****************************************************************************** **** Titlepage **** ****************************************************************************** The Titlepage offers you the following possibilities : - Start - Credits - Highscoretable - Options - Exit to Dos Each item can be selected with the mouse-pointer. (A600:Sometimes you can't see the mouse-pointer but it is there. Don't ask me why ???????) 1. Start Starts the game. 2. Credits Shows you the credits page. (Have a look at it !) 3. Highscoretable Shows you the highscoretable and explains the extras. 4. Options Takes you to the options menu. 5. Exit to Dos Quits Walls and returns you to the Workbench. ****************************************************************************** **** Options **** ****************************************************************************** The options menu pops up after clicking "options" at the titlepage and let's you select one of these: 1. Right mousebutton By clicking this item you can choose, wether the right mousebutton shall pause the game or push the table when playing. 2. Enter Password Gives you the ability to enter a password. The password for the following level will be given to you at the end of each level. (There's also a cheat password !!!) 3. Level-Editor If you select this one, you will be warped to the level-editor, which gives you the possibility to create your own levels. A help-screen will pop up if you press the "h"-key. (Sorry, no mouse-control yet...) 4. Musicmenu The musicmenu will let you choose every track and jingle for immediate listening (except the extro-track). 5. Back to main menu Takes you back to the main menu. ******************************************************************************* **** Playing Walls **** ******************************************************************************* Walls can be played with a mouse in port 1. The pad can be moved to the left and to the right by moving the mouse in the appropriate direction. By clicking the left mouse button the ball will enter the game. Clicking the right mouse button will perform the action you have selected in the options menu. You have to destroy all bricks to enter the next level. There are two different types of bricks : - indestroyable bricks (grey) - destroyable bricks (every other colour) Sometimes an extra will be released from a cracked stone. Try to catch it with your pad, but beware! Not every extra is a good one... ;-) Once you completed the level you will be awarded for this level with a score, a password for the next level and if you were good enough with an extra ball. ******************************************************************************* **** Keyboard Controls **** ******************************************************************************* - Esc (Back to titlepage) Press 'Escape' in the game to leave it and return to the titlepage. - P (Pause) Press 'P' to pause the game. To continue press any key. - Space (Push table) Press 'Space' when the ball is in a hopeless situation and doesn't come down again. But be careful if you hit 'Space' too often you will be tilted !!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hope you have as much fun playing this game as we had writing it !
