Battle Bomber version 1.0



Here's a brief explanation of what you can do in this version of battle 
bomber. 

To load Battle Bomber, insert the disk in drive A and reset the computer.
Battle Bomber will load automatically. 
If you own a hard- or zipdrive you can copy all the files on the disk to
this hard- or zipdrive and run Battle Bomber from there. Copy all the 
files except the autoexec.bat file and Battle Bomber will run from any
drive or directory containing the complete set of files.

Battle bomber will run on any MSX-2 with 128k ram or more, a GFX9000 
graphics card and a Moonsound OPL4 soundcard equipped with DOS 2.20,
or a Turbo-R with GFX9000 and Moonsound. 

The MSX-2 suffers from slowdown on 3.58 Mhz. We advise you to use a
7 Mhz option if you've got one. If there is enough demand, we can suplly
a 3.58 Mhz version in the near future.

Also, this version doesn't have any sound due to a last minute bug!
But, don't worry. The sound patch will be available shortly after the
MSX-fair at Zandvoort.

Your Battle bomber is rigged so it can be expanded with newer levels in the 
near future.

Now..... How does Battle Bomber work?

Wel it's simple. You controll a bomberman. You can play with two or three
players. And the aim of the game is to kill your fellow opponents.

To do this you can lay bombs. The number of bombs you can lay can be 
controlled from the starting screen or during a game you can obtain a
bomb option which increases the number of bombs.

After a while a bomb explodes. The reach of the other explosions can
be broadened by obtaining a flame. This way you can set the whole
screen alight!

Above the screen the computer keeps score. When you are the only won
(I mean one offcourse (joke!)) left you score is incremented. 
When you've reached a certain amount, you've won the game.
Things such as this amount can be selected in the intro screen by 
moving up and down and to left and right. 

When all players die simultaniously we declare a draw!

In the intro screen you can load the extra levels by setting the
bomberhead on levels and going to left and right. When you see
a level you want to play press space or firebutton. The level will then
be loaded.

To start the game go to start and press fire or space.

Good luck!
