INTRODUCTION:

Dragon "Simulator" is  a flight  sim with a  differance. It uses scaled 
bitmapped 32-colour graphics, much like Wing Commander. It is basically 
a one to one duel between two  dragons, one computer  controlled. There 
are 20 levels,  and  with each  your opponent  becomes faster  and more
manuverable. This is the cut-down 100k version, so there are no samples
appart from the AMOS ones. The end-game sequence is now a static colour
cycling screen, instead of a full morph  anim. For the full version and
source code write to the adress below.           MJW `94

THE PLOT:

You don`t need a plot too do you? Yes? Oh well then...

The evil wizard Mangoth has ruled  the black forest for centuries. This
has caused great suffering for those who dwell on the edge of the woods.
You were sent to kill him.  Unfortunately, you  were caught  and turned
into one of his dragon-slaves. Luckily you  escaped and managed to burn
him to a crisp. His loyal  dragons want revenge, and intend to kill you 
before going on to burn your village, eating  any survivors. If you can 
escape by killing all  his dragon-followers, you will regain your human 
form. The village will be saved and good will rule.             
(Or something like that anyway. Now for the game.) 

PLAY:

Dragon loads from workbench or CLI.  It immediatly disables the system,
but you can quit at any  time by pressing  Control^C. After loading and
decompacting press fire to play (unless you want to watch the scrolly).
Basic aircraft  controls apply - i.e  up=dive,  down=climb, left/right=
bank. Fire causes you  to belch a  ball of  flame. The action is veiwed
from  a  first-person  3D perspective.  At the  top of  the screen  the 
current level  is shown,  followed by  your  score at your health level 
(out of 100).  Hits  from  the  enemy  will  reduce  this, turning  the 
background  red. If  it hits 0, you  are dead, full  stop. Luckily your 
energy is replenished every level.

INFORMATION: 

Dragon Sim. was written on  an A1200 over new year 1993/4. The code was 
written in  Amos  (original) version 1.3 - the  version  given  away by 
Amiga Format. The  game was  originally  written  for the Amiga  Format 
coverdisk competiton,  but ended up  too big  and is  now sharware. The 
full version is included on thes ource code disk (5 pounds, see below). 
This game will run on all  Amigas (well, at least  those that AMOS runs 
on),  but  may  jerk a little  on 8mhz  machines. This  version  is the 
compiled one, but the full version is included on the source code disk,
along with the full versions and source code of the other games on this
disk.

ADRESS:

For the full version+source code, send 5 pounds and an S.A.E to:

115 Nash Grove Lane, Finchampstead, Berkshire.   RG11   4HG 

NOTES:

1. You can`t fire when climbing or diving (you`d singe your own muzzle!) 
so it`s not your fire button!

2. You automatically  level out at  maximum/minimum  altitude, so if you 
can`t climb/dive then you are too low/high.

3. 75 percent of the Dragon file is  graphics/sound data. It took 3 mins
to compile  in Amos  Compiler (1.0)  and has been compacted from 221K to 
115K.
 
CREDITS+FUTURE:

Please send in your  5 pounds,  or their  won`t be one.  Dragon Sim 3 is 
coming, and once AMOS PRO AGA comes out (and if you all send off for the
full versions of these games) maybe  I will be able to write some decent 
AGA games and more A500 compatible compilations.
