BOOTOUT V5.X (C)1990 AND SQUASH V4.3 (C)1990 PAUL HAYTER
============================================================
Bootout and Squash are two tiny games which fit into the
bootblocks of your bootdisk. BootOut is a breakout type game
and Squash is a Squash type game (remember the old TV games with
paddles and a choice of four games). Both are pretty simplistic,
though Squash was written a long time ago (when I knew nothing
about programming) and BootOut was written more recently which
accounts for its different look.
Both BootGames are FREELY DISTRIBUTABLE.That is ,you can copy
(or install) them as much as you like, as long as they are not
used for commercial purposes (Who would want to?).
SQUASH
======
The object of the game is to keep the ball bouncing in the
area bounded by the white walls. Everytime you hit the ball you
get 1 point. After every 5 points you get, the ball speeds up
making it harder. If you miss the ball, the score is reset to
zero, and you start again. If you want to continue booting
your computer then hit any key.
BOOTOUT
=======
The object of the game is to remove all the red bricks from the
wall taking up the top half of the screen. You do this by moving
the bat (at the bottom) to hit the ball such that the ball
continues bouncing around the screen, hopefully hitting bricks.
Each brick removed earns you 10 points.
If a ball passes below the bat, you lose one ball. This is
shown by the version number at the top of the screen. It starts
at V5.5, and goes to V5.4 when you lose one ball, then to V5.3
etc. If you go through all 5 balls, the score is reset, and you
start again
NOTE: If you hit the ball with the corner of your bat, the
ball gets deflected at a different angle.
If you want to continue booting your Amiga hit the menu button.
INSTALLING
==========
There are two programs in this directory specifically for
installing Squash and Bootout (called InstallSquash and
InstallBootout). When either is run you get presented with a
requester prompting you to either INSTALL DF0: or CANCEL. If
you choose the install option, make sure you have the disk you
want installed in DF0:. Choosing CANCEL takes you back to the
CLI or WorkBench.
