****************************************************************************** TMA by Howard Wilsher ****************************************************************************** CONTENTS:- About TMA Instructions Games Credits Additional Credits Shareware Notice TMA AGA Clear 1994 ****************************************************************************** About TMA ****************************************************************************** TMA was developed on :- ... via WorkBench 3.0 Amiga A1200 Blitz Basic 2 Deluxe Paint III & IV AudioMaster II OctaMED Pro V3 Playtesting on :- Two Amiga A1200 2Mb CHIP, ROM V39.107 Amiga A500 Plus 1Mb CHIP, ROM V37.350 I created TMA after noticing a severe lack of non-linear games on the Amiga games market. My main influence comes from the Ultimate Play the Game series, and although TMA is nowhere near as good as these, I think it fills a gap. ****************************************************************************** Instructions ****************************************************************************** The aim of the game is simple. Guide your ship through the various zones collecting power crystals and avoiding the aliens. Coloured passes will appear if you need them, enabling you to pass through the relevant forcefields. PAUSE: SPACE BAR ABORT: SPACE BAR then ESCAPE HINTS & TIPS a) Collect a lazer as soon as possible (preferably the twin speed) b) Keys give access to other zones c) Only collect extra ammo or energy if desparately needed d) If it moves, shoot it e) As this is a unregistered version, don't go through the exit, which is RIGHT and UP from the start N.B. 1 MEG USERS: YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE ANY EXTERNAL DRIVES TO RUN TMA, AS IT USES ALMOST ALL THE MEMORY. ****************************************************************************** Game Credits ****************************************************************************** Programming :- Howard Wilsher Graphics :- Howard Wilsher Sound FX :- Matthew Wilsher Music :- Howard Wilsher AmigaGuide Doc :- Matthew Wilsher Play Testing :- Howard & Matthew Wilsher Initial test :- Matthew Bartlett Disk Production :- Matthew Wilsher ****************************************************************************** Additional Credits ****************************************************************************** A big thanks go out to the following people, without whom this product would not have been started or even thought of.
