-------------------------- The ultimate scene game -------------------pA---
Hello and welcome to BREAKDANCE.
Here comes some Craptalk.
1.) What the heck is this all about ?
Remember a company named Epyx ? In 1984 they released a game called
Breakdance for the C64, Atari XL, later the Spektrum, C16 and Amstrad.
It was a simple game, a bit like these "follow me" games that were
popular in the 80s.
I played this game for hours, although it was so simple. It was a bit
too simple, it never was very popular.
Now i decided to convert this simple game, but this time not just with
no name sprites, this time, it had to be characters from the active
Atari scene, people i already know or even have met, like Sage, Llama,
Grey, Mike or 505.
Even Tat appears as a guest star, but see for yourself ...
2.) What does this game need ?
Patience and a good sense of humor. Usually a 1040 STE with 1 Megabyte
will do, a Falcon will work as well. A simple ST version will follow, but
so far i am not quite sure if it will then feature chipsound or a Module
as well.
So run this game on
- 1040 STE with 1 MB or more, harddisk installable, TV Set/Colour Monitor
- Mega STE with 1 MB or more, harddisk installable, TV Set/Colour Monitor
- Falcon030 with 1 MB or more, harddisk installable, RGB/VGA Monitor
You can play this game with 1,2,3,4,5 (or 6) players. Controls can be
configured to use :
- Keyboard
Player one : Cursor up, down, left, right for the directions
Insert as a fire button (Icon is the cursorblock)
Player two : Left Shift is left, < is right, control is up,
alternate is down, space is fire
(icon is the left part of the keyboard)
- Joysticks
- PowerPads connected through the extended Ports.
Since the Mega STE doesn't feature these ports you're limited to 3/4 players.
Problem is that 2 players can't play with the keyboard at once.
Normal game mode is therefore restricted to 5 players, the second
player using keyboard will just be banned, meaning, the one who was
about to play with Left Shift, <, CTRL, ALT and SPACE will not be
taking part in a normal game.
6 players is only possible in competitive mode.
Signing off.
