GAME INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------------------
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF GAME: ARCADE AND

IN THE ARCADE TRAILBLAZER, THE IDEA IS
TO ROLL YOUR LITTLE RED AND WHITE BALL
FROM THE START OF A LEVEL, TO ITS
FINNISH IN THE SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE,
WHILE NOT EXCEEDING THE TIME LIMIT.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
----------------------------------------
THE TIME REMAINING AT THE END OF EACH
LEVEL BECOMES A BONUS SCORE, AND A
FURTHER 30 SECONDS IS ADDED TO YOUR TIME
FOR THE NEXT LEVEL. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
BALL BOUNCE, BUT THERE IS A LIMITED
NUMBER OF TIMES YOU CAN DO THIS ON EACH
LEVEL. AT THE END OF EACH LEVEL, YOU
ARE GIVEN 7 MORE JUMPS, WITH A MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE OF 9 PER LEVEL.

GAME INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
----------------------------------------
THE TOP 10 SCORES FOR THIS GAME ARE
RECORDED, AND SAVED WHEN THE GAME EXITS
(MAKE SURE THE DISK IS NOT WRITE
PROTECTED). THEY CAN BE SEEN BY
SELECTING 'HIGH SCORES' FROM THE SETUP
SCREEN.
THE TRIAL GAME ALLOWS YOU TO PLAY THREE
OF YOUR FAVORITE LEVELS, OR ONES YOU
WISH TO PRACTICE, AS SELECTED AT THE
SETUP SCREEN 'LEVELS'.
GAME INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
----------------------------------------
THERE IS NO SCORE SYSTEM, NO JUMP LIMIT,
AND A TIME LIMIT OF 99 SECONDS.
BOTH GAMES CAN HAVE 1 OR 2 PLAYERS ON A
SPLIT SCREEN, AS SELECTED ON THE SETUP
SCREEN 'NUMBER OF PLAYERS'. THE GAME
CONTROLS ARE SELECTED ON THE SETUP
SCREEN 'INPUT DEVICE', WHERE P1 AND P2

WELCOME TO A C64 CLASSIC: TRAILBLAZER :VERSION 1.0, WRITTEN FOR THE AMIGA BY VISION BEYOND OF ALCHEMY PRODUCTIONS. THE CONCEPT, BALL AND TRAILS FOR THIS GAME WERE TAKEN FROM THE C64 TRAILBLAZER BY SHAUN SOUTHERN. FOR GAME INSTRUCTIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION, CLICK ON THE INFO GADGET BELOW. NOTE THAT THE TEXT SCROLLING ON THE TRAIL IS THE SAME AS THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, FOR YOUR READING CONVENIENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE OTHER MEMBERS (SO FAR) OF ALCHEMY FOR THEIR HELP AND SUPPORT: BIGGLES, DESERT RAT, DREAMWEAVER, TETRAGON AND GINSENG. THIS IS VERSION 1.0 OF THE GAME, IF IT IS SUPPORTED ENOUGH, I WILL PRODUCE A VERSION 2.0 WITH EXTRA TRAILS, A TRAIL EDITOR, AND SOUND EFFECTS. THIS IS THE FIRST PIECE OF ASSEMBLER AND THE FIRST GAME I HAVE EVER WRITTEN (ALSO ASSISTED IN THE GROUP PRODUCTION 'DELIVERANCE' AT THE SAME TIME), SO IT ISN'T THE BEST, BUT ITS A START. LOOK OUT FOR MORE ALCHEMY PRODUCTIONS ON THE AMIGA. NOW FOR SOME WORDS FROM OTHER PEOPLES: BIGGLES HERE TO WASTE A FEW BYTES OF DISK SPACE. NOT MANY I HOPE, BUT ENOUGH TO LOOK LIKE I SPENT A LONG TIME AT THE KEYBOARD, POUNDING AWAY FOR YOUR SATISFACTION. CAN'T TALK (TYPE) FOR TOO LONG THOUGH BECAUSE MR. BEAN IS ON TV TONIGHT, AND I CAN'T MISS HIM!! NOTHING BETTER THAN GOOD COMEDY TO FINISH OFF A DAY OF LAZINESS. YO! DREAMWEAVER HERE AT THE KEYS. WATCH OUT FOR OUR UPCOMING BBS, BRIMSTONE, RUNNING ON WHATEVER WE CAN AFFORD AND PROBABLY SUPERBBS PC, OR AMI-EXPRESS WITH A USR DUAL STANDARD AND FEATURING CODING INFO, AND A SOURCES DATABASE. IF WE ARE LUCKY, CD-ROM ONLINE WITH AB20 ARCHIVE ETC... GREETZ TO ARCHIMEDES OF CRASS AND ALL THE OTHER SYSOPS HERE IN OZ! CONTACT ME AT S915426 AT MINYOS.XX.RMIT.OZ.AU OR DWEAVER AT PHOENIX.PUB.UU.OZ.AU. BIGGLES BACK AGAIN DICTATING OVER THE PHONE TO VB. MR. BEAM WAS GREAT, PITY IT WAS THE LAST EPISODE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! COMEDY IS HARD TO COME BY THESE DAYS, SO THAT IS WHY DREAMWEAVER IS IN THE GROUP :) ANYWAY, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW OTHER THAN THE BUTLER DID IT, SO I MIGHT AS WELL GO BACK TO PLAYING PINBALL. WELL, THATS ABOUT ALL FROM EVERYONE, SO IF YOU WISH TO SIT THROUGH IT AGAIN...... KEEP WATCHING...... BY THE WAY, THIS IS A GAME.... NOT A DEMO, SO PLAY IT, RATHER THAN READ SCROLL TEXT!............. THIS HAS BEEN A PRODUCT OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA BY ALCHEMY PRODUCTIONS, COPYWRITE 1992 ...........

Hey! What are you looking in here for!?!? Well, I guess while you are here, I might as well tell you about the in game cheat..... hold alc while playing to turn on cheat mode!
