Phoenix for Portfolio
=====================
System requirements:
--------------------
This game only runs correctly on the Atari-Portfolio palmtop-
computer. Mine came with DIP 2.11 v1.072. I hope that there
aren't any problems with other versions.
However, please backup important data before starting the
program. I assume no liability for any damage which may result
from the use of this software, even if your display suddenly
melts.
Disk space: at least 7 KBytes (uncompressed)
free RAM-memory: at least 6320 Bytes
Notes:
- The directory from which Phoenix.exe is started must contain
the file font.dat.
- If Phoenix.sco does not exist yet, it will be created in the
current directory.
- In the System/Display menu, "Refresh" and "Speed" should be set
to normal.
- In the System/Sounds menu, "Key Click" should be switched off.
- When the game is interrupted, switch off sound before turning
off the Portfolio.
- If an alarm goes off during the game you will probably (not
necessarily) hear the tone but not see the message.
How to play:
------------
Cursor left = Move left
Cursor right = Move right
Cursor up/down = Use shield (if available)
S = Sitch sound on/off
P = Pause
ESC = Exit to system
H = display help
other keys = display info
By pressing any key directly after starting phoenix.exe, sound
is switched off.
In every level several fleets of enemy spacecrafts have to be
destroyed. In the last stage of every level the big spaceship
must be hit four times in the center. If you don't have 4 spare
lives yet, you will get a bonus life before entering stage 1
of the next level.
The number of levels is not limited, but difficulty increases.
Every 1000 points you receive a shield that can be used once.
Scoring:
hit small enemy aircraft = 10 Pts
hit big enemy aircraft at hull = 1 Point
hit big enemy aircraft at first shield = 3 Pts
hit big enemy aircraft at second shield = 5 Pts
hit big enemy aircraft at the center = 100 Pts
