- OVERKILL
-
- OverKill is a fast-action arcade game. On your journey through this
- shareware version, you'll visit the first two planets in the six-planet
- OverKill saga!
-
- THE STORY
-
- You arrive at your home planet after a long space flight, only to find it
- has been destroyed by a demonic warlike alien race that kills for sheer
- pleasure. You are now the last of your race and out for revenge.
-
- Your single minded quest is to destroy the alien leader's heavily armoured
- Battle Star at the end of planet 6. But before you reach the Battle Star you
- will have to battle your way through massive levels packed with danger,
- freeing six other planets from the tyranny of these creatures.
-
- Some of the dangers you will face include meteor storms, space forts,
- hideous creatures and strange space ships of incredible power, piloted by
- aliens who will do anything to stop you.
-
- Although you have limited fuel and weapons supplies, both can be collected
- on your long and perilous journey by picking up pods from the remains of
- alien crafts and creatures you have killed before reaching your ultimate
- goal.
-
- If you are lucky you will have collected enough pods to have built the
- ultimate battle cruiser, a craft of immense fire power and capable of mass
- destruction, yet even this craft may not be enough when you reach the final
- battle ground.
-
- COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
-
- The game can be started with several command line
- parameters depending on your system:
-
- /R will start the game for a Roland Soundboard
- /A will start the game for an Adlib Soundboard
- /E will start the game for an EGA monitor
- /C will start the game for a CGA monitor
- /T will start the game for a Tandy monitor
-
-
- HINTS
-
- 1. Read the instructions! If you don't, you will surely miss the
- section on how to activate new weapons you find, and you won't
- get very far.
-
- 2. If it moves shoot it, if it doesn't move shoot it anyway! After all,
- this is OverKill.
