!AWNov91/Goodies/Bambuzle/ReadMe

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.

 Loading

The demo will only load directly from the November91 archive if you have 2Mbytes of memory or more in your machine. You must also make sure that there is 160K or more free space in the RMA and that there is 640K of free memory. Use the task manager make these settings. 1Mbyte machine owners must copy the demo to another disk to de-archive it. It can then be loaded without any problems. To do this just select the open viewer item from the Waiter menu and then drag the !Bam_AW icon to the directory viewer of the target disk. Single drive users will find it easier to create a 672K RAM disk and drag the !Bam_AW icon to there first to save disk swapping.

 Details

This is a two level playable demo. The finished version will be released very soon. 

Objectives :

Collect balls of the same colour in each " pod ".
Each " pod " must be filled once to complete the level.
Once a pod is filled, it gets a dent in it so you can tell.

Controls :

Use the mouse only.
Far right hand button (adjust) allows you to rotate the pod
Left hand button (select) allows you to fire the balls to different pods, so enabling you to move them around the screen.
