Shooting Gallery
Release 2.1 June 13, 1990
Nels Anderson
92 Bishop Drive
Framingham, MA 01701-6540
Shooting Gallery v2.1 has only minor changes over v2.0. It seems that
a few VGA cards were not being properly detected and so the game would
not run even though it should have been able to. A new command line
option, " -v" has been added which turns off video card detection and
forces the game to run no matter what it finds. Cards that are known
to be affected are Video7 VRAM and any card in certain models of the
Tandy 1000.
Some people with lots of TSR's and other things were running out of
available memory, especially with the new round 7 which uses a lot
more memory than the previous rounds. The game now attempts to
determine if enough memory is available before running and gives a
warning if there appears to be too little memory.
The only functional change to the game itself is that your score is
now displayed along with the top ten scores in the hall of fame so
you can see how your last game compares with the top ten.
v2.0 added a new round 7, a wild west shootout. This is a major new
feature which I think you will like.
There were also some minor bug fixes and the way the game calibrates
itself for your computer's clock speed was changed. Hopefully the
new system will work better than that in v1.0.
Many people playing v1.0 got "error 202" messages. This has now been
fixed (actually it was fixed in v1.1). If you still get this message
or any other error message please let me know, and include as many
details as possible such as what round it occurs in, what you were
doing, your computer type, CPU speed, etc.
If you are upgrading from v1.0 there are two additional features now
available to you that were added in v1.1:
You can turn off the sound with the " -s" command line option.
Also, for those few people for which the game plays too fast, there
is another command line option that lets you slow things down. Use
" -d###" where ### is a number that determines how much to slow things.
See the shoot.doc file for complete details.
