Announcement: The MicroMan Adventure Series!
Brian Goble
------------------------------------------------------------
So many of you responded to the original MicroMan demo that I have
created 2 brand new MicroMan adventures.
For those of you who didn't see the demo, MicroMan uses WAP (Windows
Animation Package) to achieve flicker-free sprite animation under
Windows! By using WAP, The MicroMan Adventure Series brings DOS
style arcade-action and adventure games to the Windows environment!
MICROMAN - ADVENTURE 1: CRAZY COMPUTERS
This new action-adventure game features over 50 "rooms" to explore and many
puzzles to solve. Added graphics and sound make it even better than
the original demo! MicroMan - Adventure 1 is a fully playable and
complete shareware game.
MICROMAN - ADVENTURE 2: SAVAGE STONES
This action-adventure game has a new theme and totally new graphics.
Watch-out for falling rocks and don't touch those killer plants!
MicroMan - Adventure 2 is available, free, to registered users of
MicroMan - Adventure 1.
MICROMAN - ADVENTURE 1: CRAZY COMPUTERS can be acquired via anonymous
ftp from:
ftp.cica.indiana.edu
/pub/pc/win3/uploads/micro1.zip (will soon be moved to /games)
If you have any questions, please contact me: go...@u.washington.edu
