Micro! Deluxe, version 1.0
DISTRIBUTION INFO
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
FEATURES:
* Beautiful 3-D, animated graphics which fully exploit the VGA's
256-color pallette.
* Large 4-way scrolling playfield.
* 20 levels of play in the shareware version, 60 more upon registration
REQUIRES:
* fast 286 (or higher) CPU, 386 or faster strongly recommended
* VGA card
* Hard disk with 1.5 MB of disk space free
SUPPORTS:
* Sound Blaster (or compatible) digitized sound effects

* Adlib (or compatible) sound effects and music
* PC speaker sound
OBJECTIVE:
The object of this game is to eliminate all the spheres in the
playfield by redirecting a single laser beam. You control Micro -- a cute,
purple ball. By rotating and moving mirrors, pushing obstacles, and throwing
switches, you'll help Micro advance through many levels of unique puzzles that
range in difficulty level from intuitively obvious to nearly impossible.
Each level has a required number of spheres you must destroy in order
to proceed to the next level. Often, there are more spheres on the screen
than required. Destroying all the spheres can be a very challenging task
even for a quick, perceptive player (like yourself).
Users who have purchased the registered version of this game receive
an additional 60 levels of brain-teasers and a level designer which allows
them to create and play their own puzzle sets.
