-
- Heikki Kosola gave me a permission to release his TurboRaketti II as a full
- public version. He would also release the source, but it was lost due a very
- missfortunate HD crash when making backups! Anyway, I think that questions &
- stuff should be directed to me instead of the author, as he doesn't even have
- a proper amiga anymore. I can forward the useful stuff to him.
-
- TurboRaketti is a fast and furious 2-player gravity game, and it you haven't
- yet tried it, now's your change!
-
- I'm very sorry for the finnish localization. Feel free to try to localize it
- to english! A great deal of the "texts" are stored as bitmaps, which makes the
- task pretty hard. Atleast it is for me. If you can do it, please let me know!
-
- I'm also sorry for this absurd format, but as the game runs perfectly on a
- stock/vanilla 512k CHIP OCS A500, it's easier to have a disk image around. The
- problem is that Aminet won't accept DMS archives, so I had do make some stupid
- tricks. So the LHA has fully runable "HD" version on the game and a imagefile
- of the actual TurboRaketti II disk. I really suggest that you execute the
- install script, as it will create a self-booting gamedisk. I always play from
- a floppy disk, as we use the same TurboRanking file on many machines. So we
- have one "official" disk which is used almost always. This disk image won't be
- of any use for UAE losers. Sorry for that too. And thanks to Karl J. Ots.
-
- Very basic instructions:
-
- a) Run the install script and create the game disk.
- b) Kill your opponent & survive.
- c) Use 2 joysticks.
- d) Don't Write-Protect the disk.
- e) Press ESC to quit when lauched from the WorkBench.
- f) Try to handle with the finnish localization .
- g) Visit the official homepages at http://personal.inet.fi/bailu/zuulikuuli
- h) Harddisk installation simply by copying the files to your desired path.
