Short: Version 8.0 - a real Worms clone ! Author: koehlerthilo@gmx.de (Thilo Köhler) Uploader: koehlerthilo gmx de (Thilo Köhler) Type: game/2play Version: 8.0 Architecture: m68k-amigaos =================== T O A D I E S =================== Last minute: There is a survey at http://online-club.de/~ARENA (German) if toadies should be further developed (computer player) in the future and should become shareware or not. If you like this game, please take part of this survey. For the english version visit http://hd-rec.online.de/toadies, where you also find the latest versions and docs. ___________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION: ___________________________________________________________ "Toadies" are nasty little worms with a lot of nasty weapons. This is another Worms clone game for the AMIGA. I think this is the only Worms clone for the Amiga that comes close to the original from Team17. In some aspects it even beats Worms (more nasty weapons, smooth scrolling etc.), in some not. I did this in 1997, now I decided to upload it. Don`t know why I didn`t this earlier when the worms-fever on the Amiga came up, sorry folks ! ___________________________________________________________ REQUIREMENTS: ___________________________________________________________ Hardware: Any Amiga with at least 2MB chip and 4MB fast RAM. But don`t expect this game running smooth on an 68000. All I can say it runns well with all features enabled on my 68060/50MHz, but a 68030 should do it. It also runns well on UAE. Toadies requires a scandoubler if you want to run it on a PC monitor as it only supports the native 15 kHz mode ! ! You should have ca. 1.5 MB of free chipram, otherwise it could crash ! Also you should not run it unless you have saved your work you might have done before one your machine. Expect that TOADIES trashes your memory. Software: No special software is required, except some system libraries like the math libs (I think). ___________________________________________________________ FEATUES: ___________________________________________________________ - up to 4 teams in one round. - unlimited configurable teams - smooth scrolling - animated water - 20 nasty wheapons / tools - leveleditor included - possibility to add own landscape skins ___________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION: ___________________________________________________________ Unarchive the LHA file and copy the drawer "Toadies" wherever you want, e.g. "Games:". Toadies needs no assigns and uses no files outside this directory. That`s all ! ___________________________________________________________ USAGE: ___________________________________________________________ Doubleclick the icon ... and have fun ! See the HTML docs or the Homepage for more infos ... ___________________________________________________________ BUGS AND PROBLEMS: ___________________________________________________________ - Be sure to keep all files together, some files are not checked if they exist, otherwise it will crash. - Sometimes the menubar during the gameplay is not visible. This occures only if you use a scanndoubler. Abort the game with ESC and start another round. - Maybe it trashes some memory. So don`t run it if you have done something important and haven`t saved it yet. - Don`t run it if there is another programm running. Go offline, close all other programms. ___________________________________________________________ FUTURE: ___________________________________________________________ - let the toadies speak more comments - fix some more known bugs - music - add some details like bubbles when something drops into the water - enhance weapons Please email bug reports or suggestions to koehlerthilo@gmx.de.
