TiltMaze is not for sale through retail facilities. It is distributed as
shareware on an "I trust you" basis and is not in any form to be considered
public domain or free. Considerable effort went into creating the program and
I'm retaining full protection under the copyright laws. However, I also want
you to be able to share my games with your friends. So, please feel free to
hand on as many copies as you would like, as long as you include the original
BAT file and all of the document files.
There are no set prices for my programs. I leave their value up to you. If
you are going to use TiltMaze for your personal enjoyment, whether you got it
from a software distributor or a friend, please mail a check to me at the
above address. Your donation towards each programs creation is appreciated.
In exchange, I'll add your name to the list of those eligible for updates,
contests, and additional games. For example, I hope soon to have a joystick
added to many of them. I'd also like your comments and suggestions. If you
wish, you may use the registration and order form by typing PRINT SHAREME.REG
at the DOS prompt.
Like all of my games, TiltMaze is designed for full color with high resolution
graphics and should run on most PC's and work alikes. TiltMaze is compatible
with MDA, CGA, and EGA display adapters. If you have any problems, let me know.
The object of TiltMaze is to succeed in getting as many of the smile balls
rolled into the center box as possible. It's not easy. When you tilt the
maze box with the cursor keys, all of the balls start rolling in the same
direction. The bigger the tilt, the faster they roll. Sometimes it's hard to
get the box level again so they stop rolling. The maximum score is achieved
by filling the center box without loosing any smiles to the electric grids.
The maze box will respond diagonally to the corner keys on the numeric pad as
well as the normal direction keys. I haven't included the mouse stuff. It's
too wild to control. You can end a game and get your score with ten or more
balls in the center box by pressing the <SPACE> bar when one of the balls is
in the center target. The escape <ESC> key will let you exit the game.
You may copy the TiltMaze files into any directory on hard disk or another
floppy. The only real requirement is that all of the files associated with
the game, except for its BAT file, must be in the same directory. You may
activate the program directly, with a BAT file, or from ActMenu. If you put
TiltMaze on your hard disk, you may have to adapt the BAT file for your system.
Good luck, and let me know if you enjoy TiltMaze,
Chris
P.S. You can disable this message by removing the 'TYPE' and 'PAUSE' entries
from your personalized BAT file. Please retain the original BAT file if you
are going to pass TiltMaze along.
