3D_Progs/!Game/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Game engine demonstration
=========================

DFI 17/4/98


Game control
------------

Mouse position controls spin and dive.
Left button accelerates forwards.
Right button accelerates backwards.
Middle button brakes.

Left and right cursor keys pan viewer location.

No collision detection as yet so don't be surprised if you can fly through
the odd building or tree!
