Short: AGA OPTIONAL Fast exploding action game! Uploader: emackey@BIX.com Author: emackey@BIX.com This is MegaBall AGA, the all-new version 3.0 of a classic Amiga action game! This game comes with two graphics files, one that lets it run on older Amigas (even ones running WB 1.2!), and another that lets it take advantage of dazzling 24-bit AGA graphics if ya got 'em! A few of the exciting new features: - Exploding bricks!! These guys set off in chain reactions and destroy lots of other bricks in loud firey explosions! - New "Dynamite" bonus adds more exploding bricks to a board! - The new graphics, even the non-AGA ones, are much more clear and readable than in previous versions. - All new music, written by Al Mackey with OctaMED Pro! - 24 new colors of bricks (even in non-AGA) make boards 300% more colorful than ever before. - All new boards! - The ball and lasers can now be rendered without the use of hardware sprites. (On some systems, hardware sprites didn't show up!) - Old "background pages" removed. - New hypertext documentation, written in AmigaGuide format. - Customizable music!! - ASL file requesters (when available, otherwise req.library is used). - On AGA systems, ultra-smooth 24-bit fades (looks so COOL!) - Understands a whole range of Workbench versions, from 1.2 to 3.1 and beyond! Only a minimal amount of code is version-specific. - As always, MegaBall appears on a standard intuition screen and continues to let your Amiga multitask, as it should! - The ModeID of the above-mentioned screen is now user-settable, for those with special graphics cards, monitors, etc. MegaBall is back, and more fun than ever! --Ed. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 273 56.5% 22-Nov-93 22:09:24 MegaBallAGA.info 264 31 88.2% 20-May-92 11:36:42 MegaBallAGA/fonts/MegaBall.font 2632 1408 46.5% 20-May-92 11:36:14 MegaBallAGA/fonts/MegaBall/8 2352 1726 26.6% 27-Jun-92 12:25:34 MegaBallAGA/libs/iff.library 18012 11857 34.1% 14-Jul-92 16:40:30 MegaBallAGA/libs/req.library 696 242 65.2% 08-Nov-93 16:55:32 MegaBallAGA/MB_Music.info 103876 61467 40.8% 22-Oct-93 18:45:10 MegaBallAGA/MB_Music/Title.tune : Copyright ©1994 Mackey Software, all rights reserved. 8220 5243 36.2% 20-Nov-93 15:30:16 MegaBallAGA/MBModeID 56840 28480 49.8% 19-Nov-93 22:34:18 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.Gfx.AGA 1047 415 60.3% 08-Nov-93 16:55:36 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.Gfx.AGA.info 37908 19023 49.8% 20-Nov-93 01:13:08 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.Gfx.non-AGA 1047 413 60.5% 08-Nov-93 16:55:32 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.Gfx.non-AGA.info 58941 24054 59.1% 22-Nov-93 19:15:28 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.guide 503 261 48.1% 08-Nov-93 16:55:28 MegaBallAGA/MegaBall.guide.info 1217 456 62.5% 22-Nov-93 22:51:40 megaballaga/MEGABALL.info 2356 540 77.0% 04-Nov-93 18:18:40 MegaBallAGA/MB.banner.ansi 2002 519 74.0% 04-Nov-93 01:16:04 MegaBallAGA/MB.banner.mci 1738 940 45.9% 22-Nov-93 18:53:04 megaballaga/MegaBallAGA.readme 181708 128430 29.3% 23-Nov-93 13:09:44 MegaBallAGA/MEGABALL -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 481987 285778 40.7% 24-Nov-93 11:37:14 19 files
