Epic MegaGames Presents
KILOBLASTER: THE TRILOGY (ver. 2.0)
Created by Allen Pilgrim
with Dan Froelich, Bryon Neiman, and Samuel Goldstein
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiloblaster is a fast-action arcade game reminiscent of Galaxian
with lots of innovative, high-tech features! This game features digitized
and ray-traced backgrounds in 256-color VGA which are truly out of this
world!
In Kiloblaster, you'll also find an incredible musical sound track and
digitized sound effects if you have a Sound Blaster card. Kiloblaster also
features some wild sound effects through the tiny speaker in your PC.
Each of the three Kiloblaster volumes features 30 unique levels, for
a total of -90- stages of arcade excitement! Fasten your seatbelt and
prepare to be warped into another dimension of game playing!
FEATURES & REQUIREMENTS
- Supports 256 color VGA
- Sound Blaster music card supported (optional)
- 80286 or faster processor is required
- Requires at least 512K of memory and DOS 3.0 or later
- Joystick is optional
IMPORTANT ** COMPATIBILITY NOTES
1. This game requires a lot of free memory -- especially with Sound
Blaster effects enabled. Please load DOS HIGH (if you have DOS 5.0),
and remove any TSR's from memory.
2. Some mutant screen blankers and memory managers may cause trouble
with Kiloblaster; this can be solved by booting from a DOS disk
without any TSR's or memory managers.
3. This game is *not* compatible with STACKER and probably other hard-disk
compression programs. To get it to work properly, please install it on
a non-compressed drive.
4. This game only supports the Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro sound
cards, not the Adlib.
5. If you have trouble running this game from Windows or OS/2, try running
it straight from the DOS prompt.
