There are some variations on this theme included in this version : NORMAL - normal game, as described above. BALL - a ball is placed in the centre of the circle to be knocked into the players goals. There are only 4 players allowed in this game. A point is scored for getting a goal, and for knocking all the other players off. TEAM - this game mode allows 4 teams of 2 players each to play. MAGNET - all the vehicles are made into magnets and are all attracted to each other. ELASTIC - pieces of elastic join pairs of vehicles together. Great for swinging them off the circle! (Best played with 4 or 6 vehicles, otherwise it's too crowded) Configurations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Knockout 2 does it's best to configure itself to your particular Amiga setup. Here is a list of configurations made : KS1.3 Amigas - will get as far as the intro and crash. UPGRADE! A500/A600 with 1Mb - 5 players on screen. A500/A600 with fast mem - 6 players on screen. A1200 with 2Mb / A500/A600 with 020+ accelerator - 8 players on screen. A1200 with fast mem - 8 players on screen, with no names restrictions. NTSC - can't have maximum circle size, and the title screen is snipped slightly. Famous Moments ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Version 1.01 put on to AMIGA POWER's coverdisk on the APRIL 1996 issue. (I didn't send it to them!) Version 1.00 reviewed in AMIGA FORMAT in the FEBRUARY 1996 issue. Made PD Selection of the Month. Version 1.00 included on the AMIGA FORMAT subs disk (I've been told). Why are such out of date versions used??? Those versions are both about a year old! ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 46948 28913 38.4% 26-Feb-96 21:57:26 +amos.library 27896 26852 3.7% 27-Mar-95 08:03:54 +1 33408 31322 6.2% 27-Mar-95 08:04:12 +2 72920 72920 0.0% 27-Mar-95 08:04:42 +3 105120 100486 4.4% 27-Mar-95 08:05:28 +4 914 904 1.0% 21-May-96 18:56:20 +Crash 12476 9666 22.5% 21-May-96 18:56:36 +Falling 11196 6782 39.4% 20-May-96 15:43:54 +Fight 914 904 1.0% 21-May-96 18:56:20 +Crash1 14140 11454 18.9% 20-Dec-95 22:57:50 +Crash2 12476 9666 22.5% 21-May-96 18:56:36 +Falling1 27340 19353 29.2% 21-May-96 18:56:32 +Win 187656 122752 34.5% 21-May-96 20:07:14 Banks 2982 1715 42.4% 26-Mar-95 07:28:28 Example_Vehicle.iff 128032 71680 44.0% 24-May-96 19:05:52 Knockout 19029 8180 57.0% 25-May-96 10:31:46 Knockout.guide 2578 456 82.3% 30-Mar-95 23:37:04 Knockout.guide.info 8922 7980 10.5% 04-Apr-95 23:32:54 +Falling2 11196 6782 39.4% 20-May-96 15:43:54 +Fight1 14398 6799 52.7% 20-May-96 15:43:56 +Fight2 27340 19353 29.2% 21-May-96 18:56:32 +Win1 2438 1615 33.7% 28-Jan-96 22:45:42 +1 2438 1539 36.8% 25-Mar-95 05:39:54 +2 1122 406 63.8% 24-May-96 19:05:52 Knockout.info 48936 29289 40.1% 30-Mar-95 23:44:38 Music_Editor 1122 405 63.9% 30-Mar-95 23:44:38 Music_Editor.info 44124 25550 42.0% 30-Mar-95 23:44:48 Vehicle_Editor 1122 403 64.0% 30-Mar-95 23:44:48 Vehicle_Editor.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 869183 624126 28.1% 25-May-96 18:03:00 28 files
