StarRunner Plus This is an Arcade Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen and System 7.1 by Mactivity. StarRunner "Return To Nemesis" is a fast arcade game not unlike Defender featuring: * Fast 60 fps and smooth animation. * Digitized sounds * Over 100 levels * Over 20 different kind of smart aliens Your Task * Your mission is to flight from planets to planets rescuing stranded humans and destroying all other low-life creatures - if it moves, shoot it! If it is still there, blast it! What's New? * New and improved graphics and visuals * You can start at any level * Automatic switching to 1-bit color more * Manual override to choose the monitor you want the game to run on * Inviso feature * Optional Defender key mapping (thrust/reverse) * Reverse key * New and more sound effects * Smoother variable speed * Easier game play (yes!) * The game feels quite different Hints * The new and improved StarRunner can now fire while flying backwards. Quite useful to shoot up lines of aliens. It can also handle progressive speed. * Don't let aliens kidnap the little waving people on the ground. You don't want to know what happens if none are rescued... * Some aliens follow you from planet to planet. Therefore, don't stay too long on one particular planet; they might come get you... Heh heh... * One type of aliens leaves flashbomb capsules behind when shot down. Catch them before they hit the ground... or run after them later... * Holding the shift key while loading the game will give you an extra thousand points (not). * Aliens aim at you when shooting, therefore change direction often. * Aliens are better at shooting at you when you're at low speed. Run, run, run... * You get a bonus ship every 10,000 points * Check out level 5... * For people with more than one monitor hooked up to their Mac, hold the <option> key as soon as the progess box appears. Doing this allows you to select the monitor on which you want the game to run. Notes * StarRunner requires a 68020 CPU or better to run. It will work on any Macintosh screen set to B/W. * StarRunner now works with both System 6 & 7. * Multi-monitor setups: StarRunner always tries to use the main monitor first (i.e. the one with the menu bar on it). In case the main monitor is not set to B/W, the program will scan for the first available B/W screen. Therefore, if you have both an internal B/W screen and a external color screen and want the external screen (set to B/W) to be used, set the external monitor as the main one and run StarRunner. * StarRunner was tested on the following Macintosh computers: SE/30 (system 6.0.7 and 7.0), II (system 7.0), IIci (system 7.0), IIsi (system 7.0), LC (system 7.0), IIfx (system 7.0), PowerBook 170 (system 7.0) and Quadra 700 (system 7.0). * System 6 users: StarRunner is now totally System 6-compatible provided System 6.0.7 or higher is used and 32-bit QuickDraw is installed (the 32-bit QuickDraw init can be found in the Color folder on the Printing Utilities disk ).
