**********************************THE*INTRO*BIT*******************************
This game (Jellyquest) and all associated files and data (including this
intro bit) may be distributed freely provided:
-you do not charge anything other than reasonable media costs, and
-that all associated files etc (including this intro) are included
on the disk.
Please note that everything in this game is still copyright
David McGuire 1993.
(Jellyquest was written on a 4 Meg A500+ with a HardDrive, using AMOS.
All the graphics were drawn from scratch using DPaint 4. You may notice
Jellyquest is actually Jellybean Part 2. Jellybean is a simultaneous-
2-player/1-player platform game. It's not that good really, and I have
no plans to release it. However, Jellytron - Jellybean Part 3 is coming,
and it's a totally original arcade/stategy game. Oh, yes. Bet you can't wait!)
******************************************************************************
This is just the P.D. demo version of Jellyquest, as reviewed in Amiga
Power October 93 issue.
The full version is a much improved and updated game. Here is a list
of the outstanding new features:
-40 new ingenious and incredibly addictive levels!
-Full, funky soundtrack with in-game volume control, and on/off feature.
-Much improved main character animation. Jelly gets up to all manner
of things if you leave him alone for a few seconds!
-Plenty of extra graphics, including new backgrounds.
-6 (yes! 6!) new fiendish, panic-inducing JellyDeathZones.
-Saveable hi-scores.
-Extra lives (your comments much appreciated Mr Golder!).
-Full password system.
-Full animated end sequence!
-Various collectible items fall into the Jellyzone, including extra
lives, extra time, extra points and more!
-IMPORTANT NOTE: REQUIRES 1 MEG. RUNS ON ANY AMIGA-
This incredible game can be yours for only £3.50! Yes, send me £3.50
now and you get a game which is already being called "Jellyquest" by
awestruck journalists everywhere!!. Act now and take advantage of my
special offer - buy one, get one - buy now, pay now!!! Just £3.50 gets you
an archived disc which will automatically extract itself (oo-er) onto two
blank discs OF YOUR CHOICE!!!! How can you miss out on the offer of the
millenium????? (Address at the end)
Incidentally, sorry about this archive lark but the game takes up two
discs otherwise and that would raise the price - which is never a good
idea. For those of you with archive-phobia - don't fret - it's all
automatic and all you need is two blank discs called "Jellyquest1" and
"Jellyquest2". It's really as simple as that. Honest.
If you want the source code then send a blank disc along as well and
I'll pop it on for you for just £1 extra. It's not well documented, (okay,
it's not documented at all just now) but if you ask nicely I'll see what
I can do.
Remember, please, that it's all copyrighted, and you can't distribute
the full version i.e. copy it. The full version is NOT P.D. and copying it
IS piracy. Thank you.
