|
|
|
+ The game "Another World" was released in 1991.

Written by Eric Chahi.

|
|
It was eventually ported to many systems (I played it on IBM PC).

|
|
It even got an Apple IIgs port (the IIgs is 16-bit with fancy
|
|
|
|
|
graphics and sound). However you couldn't play it on
|
|
|
|
|
earlier Apple II systems... until now.

and thought the Apple II lo-res palette (15 colors, 40x48 graphics)
|
|
|
|
|
might be just barely enough to do it justice.

|
|
|
Keyboard:
|
|
|
|
|
Note, Apple II has simplistic keyboard support.
|
|
|
|
|
In general it's not possible to read more than one key at a time.
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, on older models there's no auto-repeat unless you
|
|
|
|
|
hold down the REPT key, which makes running difficult.
|
|
|
|
|
This means it's really not possible to use the keyboard the
|
|
|
|
|
same way as the original game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q/E - walk left/right
|
|
|
|
|
A/D <-/-> - run left/right
|
|
|
|
|
W up - jump
|
|
|
|
|
S down - crouch
|
|
|
|
|
space - kick

During the intro, you can press R to make it repeat forever.
