About A60 Rescue Mission
Cosmologik presents A60 Rescue Mission, it's futuristic 3D action game for the Power
Macintosh. In A60 Rescue Mission, you take the commands of a highly maneuverable and
powerfully-armed vessel. Your mission is to save all probes and avoid computer-generated
enemies through increasingly challenging levels. By simulating physical forces of nature, Cosmologik
was able to add a very good amount of realism to A60 Rescue Mission. Variables like the mass of
the objects, their speed or the attraction that gravity puts on them are all processed in real time to
determine where everything should appear at any given moment during the game. You won't find
preprogrammed movements in A60 Rescue Mission, so no two games will be identical!
Distribution
You can freely distribute the demonstration version of A60 Rescue Mission anywhere you want as
long as you provide all accompanying files and NO registration code. The registration code is
personal to you and is attached to your name and address. Violators will be pursued in court. Get
the latest version from our web site at http://www.cosmologik.com.
How to unlock the demo
The version of A60 Rescue Mission that is distributed is a demonstration version of the complete
game. The complete version lets you play with more than 80 increasingly difficult levels with
more enemies and more action. To unlock the demo version and get access to all the features of
the game, do the following (see next section for more details):

play the game at it’s full potential. Enjoy!

More details about the registration process
A60 Rescue Mission has the following pricing:
- Single user licenses, in English or French, US $25.00 per user.
Paying for A60 Rescue Mission is fairly simple. The fastest and easiest method is to point your
web browser to the secured Kagi server at http://order.kagi.com/?2ZW and give the information
they need for processing your order.
Alternatively, you can use the Register application that accompanies A60 Rescue Mission.
Launch the Register application and enter your name, your email address, and the number of
single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase. Save or Copy or Print the
data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. Kagi handles our
payment processing and your money will reach us without problem.
If paying with Credit Card, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is
sales@kagi.com and their fax number is 1-510-652-6589. You can either Copy the data from
Register and paste it into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you
can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already
pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email
acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days, and if you
provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check, you should print the data using the Register
application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-2ZW
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of currencies from different countries but at present if you pay
via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies,
the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around $15 per check and that is just not practical.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment
method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or
email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed! ;-)
Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing.
Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is
processed.

• DrawSprocket and SoundSprocket 1.7.5

Performance notice
If you encounter performance drop or erroneous behavior during the playing
of the game, it is probably caused by a lack of performance of your video
card. To prevent some of these problems, you may try to reduce the
resolution setting in the preferences dialog, turn off the video mirroring
option of your system or by limiting the number of open applications. It's
also possible that video cards from third-party, like the 3dfx' Voodoo 3,
will not accelerate QuickDraw 3D at all. Note that the default ATI cards
that are provided with recent Macintoshes should work with no problem.
