***** LAST CHANCE TO GET SMASH! *****
***** AT THE INTRODUCTORY PRICE. *****
***** ONLY UNTIL DECEMBER 25TH *****
***** SMASH! *****
Smash! is available at its introductory price for one more month, and
then goes to its regular price. Act now, in time for Christmas!
Comments from satisfied players, overheard at the Atlanta Fest, in
various information services, or from letters:
"How did you do that?"
"Smash! is AWESOME"
"With 17 block styles, and the ability to create your
own levels, Smash! is never boring."
"Smash! comes with a warning about how addictive it is.
The warning is very appropriate!"
Somebody said it couldn't be done under OS-9, so Alan DeKok, from
Intelligent Algorithms, did it. A full-blown breakout-style arcade game for
OS-9 Level II. Smash! premiered at the Atlanta Fest, and is now available to
all.
Features include:
- 32 levels that can be modified with a text editor
- passwords for each level so you don't have to start
at the beginning each time
- user-selectable joystick port
- 320*192*16 colour graphics, multiple balls
- 17 block styles, including one-way and indestructable
- sound effects
- one or two player modes
- auto-pause when you are using another window
- fully commented source and graphics libraries are
available
Smash! requires a 256k CoCo 3 and OS-9 Level II
