Roketz - PD Version 2.25 (Jan. 27, 1995)
The ultimate PAL AGA only shoot-em-up/racer
----------------------------------------------
For those who normally don't read ReadMe's! Read it - it's only 2 pages!
First things first, this version of Roketz is freeware, unauthorized
distribution is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
If you have older PD version than 2.25 then here's list of what's the
difference between 1.x and 2.25:
* Should not crash (i.e. many lame bugs fixed)
* Improved gameplay
* CPU player's AI upgraded
* Eats a bit less memory - so it should work with large HD no fastmem combo
(best is still to boot without startup-sequence to gain free mem)
* Sounds should be ok on every machine now (even on 40 MHz MC040)
* Keyboard controls should work fine now
* You can quit back to Workbech pressing Ctrl+Escape in main menu
* Loads a bit faster
* HD installer included
* User selectable control method (keyboard, joy)
* Now even works on CD32 ;)
Now, if you find this piece of gameware entertaining, tension-breaking and
FUN, then check out the following how to get your personal copy of the
full version of Roketz including:
- 6 worlds of raytraced battlegrounds featuring active background elements as
cannons, teleporters, forcefields etc.
- 4 customized roketz
- lots of different weapons and upgrades
- totally non-raytraced intro
- chance to win a Roketz T-Shirt
Registration fee for the Roketz full game is 10 UK pounds, 15 US Dollars
or 25 DM (that's German currency you know ;). Visit your local bank to
convert your money into any of the above mentioned currencies.
Due to outrageously big amount of money banks charge for international
transactions, the only sane way to send the registration fee
is cash via mail. We strongly advise you to camouflage the money so it can
not be detected before the lawful owners (i.e. us) open it. Otherwise it's
rather likely that we don't receive it at all. The best way is to put the
money between a christmas card and stick it in an envelope. The cuter card
the better :). And remember - NO COINS. State your full name (or the name
you want the ROKETZ registred to) and your postal address so we can send
the full release directly to you. We are also interested to know the
configuration of your machine and where did you get the PD version from.
You could include your e-mail address if you have one.
Bug reports, suggestions etc. are welcome too. And don't forget
that snailmail is not instantaneous.

Last minute notes:
Roketz can be installed to HD using script for Commodore's HD installer
(Installer itself is not included with this archive)
Important! When playing from disk remember to unprotect it and keep
it in disk drive while playing if you want the status and scoring system
to work properly.
When started from HD then no assigns must be made, just make sure all
data files are in same directory with Roketz, also make sure that
diskfont.library and mathtrans.library are present in your libs: - these
are needed too.
If you use the HD installer then it'll copy all necessary stuff (except
libs, you should have them on your HD anyway) to your HD so you don't
have to worry about anything.
If you have HD and no fastmem then you MIGHT have problems running Roketz
- it eats a lot memory so disable all external hardware and/or boot without
startup-sequence.
About the gameplay:
If you seem to die more then three times in a minute, read the docs
and practice a little with the slowest engine. The game will not be true
fun before you have really mastered the skill of flying.
You should read the ingame docs (at least once ;) to get the most out of
the Roketz!
