- WALLBALL: A cute li'l game for the ST.
-
- WALLBALL is a cute li'l game I threw together while trying to
- learn to use both on the ST and the 'C' language. It works in
- HI-Res (Monochrome) mode only. WALLBALL is a two-player game -
- two joysticks are recommended but the game can also be played with
- one or none. There are three choices for ball speed, and you can
- play to a score of 5, 15, or 21.
-
- WALLBALL's inspiration dates back to 1979 when I was working
- the graveyard shift at the manufacturing arm of what was at the
- time a leading U.S. telephone monopoly. Some of the automated
- testing stations had PDP-11 minicomputers and Tektronix terminals,
- and there was a 'secret', hidden, (removable) hard disk of BASIC
- games, one of which was volleyball. It was slow-w-w-w, and the
- graphics were strictly dot-and-line, but it was the only pong-type
- game I knew of where the ball arced through the 'air' like a
- bouncing ball instead of flying in a straight line.
-
- I have no idea whatsoever who was responsible for that game,
- so I can't give them credit.
-
- Oh well.
-
- WALLBALL is shareware, which, seeing as it's only a game, means
- that it's basically free. Feel free to copy, ditribute, UL, DL, or
- whatever as long as the copyright notices remain intact and this
- file stays with the game program. You are under no obligation,
- legally or morally, to pay for it, but if you wanna send me a buck,
- it would definitely be appreciated.

- Send bug reports, suitcases full of money (or a buck), and
