Short: Shoot'em up - a tribute to Xevious! Author: Claudio Mazzuco (kirk@maya.dei.unipd.it) Uploader: Claudio Mazzuco (kirk@maya.dei.unipd.it) Version: 1.0 Type: game/shoot Action: PAL /X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X What is Divumex? X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\ This is a preview of a game I am being developing. It's a vertical shoot'em up, designed as a tribute to Xevious, a game produced by Namco and Atari in the early 80s. Being this a preview, there are many things missing that will be introduced once finished. Many other improvements will be done (alien behaviour, ship movement, sound effects and so on). Thus don't think the game looks too primitive! X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\ DISCLAIMER X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X/X\X\X\X\X\X In my full consciousness I ensure this game to be a whole production of mine. It has been redesigned from scratch. I do not own anything coming from the original coinop besides a couple of photos. This demo tries to be as similar as possible to the original game but there are also many differences (graphics, alien movement) that will remain in the final version too, mainly because this is a *tribute*, and in no way it will be any kind of porting. Moreover, I didn't develop this game for money. Actually it is totally freeware and you're free to do whatever you like, apart from modify or hide the author name, or distribute without the document files as a commercial product, in any support (disks, cds), Urban Mueller's AmiNet collection being the only exception. To demonstrate that this is *not* a copy from the coin-op, i'm ready to put at anyone's disposal all Divumex sources and graphic screens. Finally, I won't be held responsible for any damage occurred by the [mis]use of this program. Anyway it has been tested very carefully by many people with different machines, and no problems have been found. I would be really glad if anyone who have tried Divumex sends me comments, bugreports, or suggestions! ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 312112 81665 73.8% 15-Jul-96 12:45:34 +Divumex 5238 467 91.0% 15-Jul-96 13:21:12 +Divumex.info 5482 2552 53.4% 15-Jul-96 13:05:38 +divumex_eng.doc 579 321 44.5% 15-Jul-96 13:21:12 +divumex_eng.doc.info 7865 3440 56.2% 15-Jul-96 12:52:36 +divumex_ita.doc 579 322 44.3% 15-Jul-96 13:21:12 +divumex_ita.doc.info 628 272 56.6% 15-Jul-96 13:21:22 Divumex_Demo.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 332483 89039 73.2% 16-Jul-96 11:19:42 7 files
