needs: ARM2 (ARM3 recommended) + RISCOS 3 (Non-squashed version runs on
RISCOS 2)
descr.: Simplified clone of the classic Missile Command game
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You are under attack! Missiles are raining down like crazy on all the
major cities! It is up to you to blast the incoming missiles out of the sky
before they hit these cities."
To start the game just double-click the Mizzile program file. To start a
level press the Select mouse button. The game itself is also played with the
mouse: first move the pointer to where you want one of your rockets to
explode. Then press one of the mouse buttons to fire a rocket from one of
your silos.
The left mouse button fires a rocket from the left silo, the middle button
from the middle silo and the right button from the right silo. If you have
your mouse buttons swapped (left-handed) you may want to temporary "unswap"
them as otherwise the game might get slightly confusing.
Note that once a silo is destroyed by a missile you can't fire rockets from
it anymore. However, when you do make it into the next level all silos will
be restored.
Each level the missiles will come falling down faster and there'll also be
more missiles. Luckily though you'll also start out with more rockets in the
silos, dependant on the number of cities left though.
If you shoot off all your rockets without destroying all the missiles you
will just have to sit back and hope the remaining missiles don't take out all
your cities, so you'd better take careful aim.
The game is over when all your cities have been destroyed.
