Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
-> FLOPPY INSTALL:
Simply unpack the archive onto a blank floppy disk. Make sure
the disk is bootable, if unsure goto a workbench shell, put
the disk in DF0: drive then type 'Install DF0:'
-> HD INSTALL:
Unpack the archive to any location on your hard drive and then
run the JSW97_HD_Installer program, this will copy all needed
fonts and libraries to your normally assigned FONTS: and
LIBS: directories, usually located on your boot drive.
* If any of the files needed by JSW '97 are not present then
the game will not run, and you will be alerted which file
is missing.
The Game
When you run JSW '97 you can skip the intro credits by pressing
the Escape key. Once it has loaded you may redefine your keys.
The default keys are Q=LEFT, W=RIGHT, SPACE=JUMP, P=PAUSE.
The aim of the game is to collect all 200 objects which are
scattered around the 190 screens, which will then allow you
to enter the palace. Generally anything that moves will kill
you and any object that flashes you must collect. You can fall
a maximum of 4 blocks without being killed and jump and maximum
width of 5 blocks.
Some of the screens are easy, and some are hard, also look out
for hi
reported not being able to run the game, this may be okay in v1.1
Amiga users with accelerators have commented that the jump
routine is too fast, again this should be improved in v1.1
You cannot redefine 3 keys that are on the same row, or willy
cannot jump diagnally. The reason for this is still unknown.
There was a huge bug in v1.1 with the joystick routine, this
was due to the joystick causing timing problems in the jump
routine. Joystick support has been temporarly removed, but will
be added as soon as this problem is corrected.
