README file for PLBM Pong-Out - by PLBM Games
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File Updated: April 30, 1998
PLBM Pong-Out is actually two separate games in one, a two-player
version of Pong and a one-player version of Brick-Out.
Pong Game Parameter Adjustment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first screen you see allows you to adjust various game
parameters. Adjust these parameters by typing the alphabetic
letter corresponding to each line.
An uppercase 'A' adjusts upwards, a lowercase 'a' adjusts downwards.
Registration information located at the bottom of this file.
System Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least VGA.
In general, faster systems will run the program more efficiently.
Sound Blaster Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program contains routines to play digital sound on a Sound
Blaster or compatible card. However, this program does NOT
contain autodetection routines. This program relies upon the
BLASTER= variable being set appropriately in your environment.
If the BLASTER= variable is set incorrectly, the program may
crash. If the BLASTER= variable is absent the program will
NOT attempt to use Sound Blaster sound.
Additionally you will need to have free EMS memory to hear
all digital sounds (they're too big to fit in conventional
memory). The sounds deemed "most important" to game play
will be loaded into conventional memory on a first-come, first-
served basis. To hear ALL sounds you will need enough EMS
free to fit the file KPSFX.DBO. Check free EMS with the
MEM command under DOS.

Game Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~
PLBM Pong:
~~~~~~~~~~
The object in Pong is simple: return the other guy's shots.
Mix it up by hitting the ball nearer the edge of your paddle
to get more radical angles. If you miss the other guy gets
a point. Adjust handicap at the main screen by adjusting the
size of the paddle. After each hit the ball will accelerate
by the specified acceleration factor (which can be zero).
After each lost shot the ball starts over at the start_speed.
You can choose to play to any number of points. Press F10 to
end the current match and reset the scores.
PLBM Brick-Out:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The object of Brick-Out is even simpler: destroy all the
bricks by breaking them with the ball. Do not allow the ball
to fall off the bottom of the screen. What more do you need
to know? Go have fun!
