- | Welcome to Walls '97 ! |
- |_________________________|
-
-
- This program is giftware and we spent a lot of time to finish it, so if you
- like it please send us a small gift which you think will deal as payment.
-
- Walls features : - 11 extras
- - 32/64 colour graphics + some AGA-pictures
- - 7 different music tracks + some jingles
- - 50 different levels
- - passwords for each level
-
- Walls is based on the old Breakout-games. The purpose in each level is to
- destroy all bricks with a small ball which can be controlled with a pad.
-
-

- **** Loading the Game ****
- ******************************************************************************
-
- After unpacking the archive simply double-click the Walls'97-icon.
- The game should then load automatically.
- If something seems to go wrong, check wether the powerpacker.library is present
- in the libs folder. If you get some message like "Out of Memory" this may be a
- hint that you don't have enough free chip mem (the game will need something
- between 600k and 700k).
- Walls doesn't save any files to different places, so deleting the Walls-folder
- will discard the game completely.
