Short: Superb 3-player Tetris Clone Author: d.pearson@ext.canterbury.ac.nz (Davin Pearson) Uploader: d pearson ext canterbury ac nz (Davin Pearson) Type: game/demo Version: 2.43 Requires: Any 1meg amiga Architecture: m68k-amigaos ABOUT TRITUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tritus is a way cool 3-player tetris-style game and more! Tritus is shareware, although this demo is completely playable, apart from the shareware message that appears from time to time. But if you like this game then you MUST REGISTER because of your moral obligations to poor independent programmers such as myself. This demo version of the game is freely distributable. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tritus was written on a crusty old amiga 2000, and has been tested on amiga 500's, 1000's and 1200's, so it darn well should work on all machines with at least 1 meg of ram. INSTALLING TRITUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tritus can be run from the workbench, or if you don't like using the workbench you should create a bootable floppy disk with this startup sequence: ; beginning of file: s/startup-sequence CD Tritus fastmemfirst >nil: run >nil: Tritus endcli >nil: ; end of file: s/startup-sequence The disk must also contain the following files: c/CD c/EndCLI c/FastMemFirst c/Run libs/diskfont.library libs/mathtrans.library You can get these files from your own workbench disk --- they are not included in this archive because they are copyright to some big nasty multi-national company. PLAYING TRITUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read the in-game docs for instructions on how to play. The game can be paused by pressing "P", the annoying theme tune can be toggled on/off by pressing "M", and the game can be exited by pressing "ESC" at the title screen. The levels can be easily modified by loading the file grafix/levels.iff into your favourite paint program and changing it. If you find the theme tune just too annoying, then just find replace the file sounds/music with your favourite med-module. The other sound effects can be modified in a similar way. REGISTERING ~~~~~~~~~~~ If you register, not only will you get the full version of this great game but you will also receive ANOTHER great game called R3. R3 is much bigger than Tritus and you can take it from me that if you like multi-player games then R3 is also a must. Bruce (who wrote R3) and I play R3 even more than we play Tritus. Yes that's right we play it for HOURS on end and you too can experience this together with the associated joys of missing essays, missing out on precious hours of sleep and perhaps your sanity, although I will not be held responsible for this. The registration fee is NZ$20 or 10 pounds sterling or 15 bucks US. (WOW, how cheap!) My bank will exchange other major currencies too and can accept overseas personal cheques. Cheques are probably the safest/best option, but I'll take anything. To register, send your (real) name and address and the registration TO my U.K agent: Tritus Registration c/o Ellen Johnstone 11 Abbey Road Scone Perthshire Scotland U.K. PH26LW OR myself: Tritus Registration c/o Davin Pearson 29 Tika Street Christchurch 8004 New Zealand You will receive TWO disks - one containing Tritus and the R3 levels, and the other containing R3 with its very fancy level editor. These can (of course) be easily installed onto Hard-disk, if you have one. You should definitely get your disks within a month - if they don't arrive by then, please start complaining to me.
