IT'S A BIT ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, THE PATHS COULD BE MORE AMIGAISH AND THE FULLSCREEN-MODE DOESN'T WORK. THE GAME PLAYS PERFECTLY THOUGH, AND IT'S VERY NICE! UPDATE: Removed the need for USR: and ETC: assigns. UPDATE2: This time it should work. Overview of Heroes ****************** Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but includes many graphical improvements and new game features. In it, you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups while avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even your own trail. There are five game modes available. Quest is the classical Nibbles, in Death Match you start with very long tails a must kill your opponents, in Kill'em All you must run over lemmings moving on the ground, in Time Cash or Color modes you must collect money or pyramids of color. Heroes features 12 original sound tracks, 94 levels (in 10 different tile sets) plus a level editor. Heroes source code originates from an original MS-DOS game but has been heavily modified to enhance the portability and some new features have been added. MS-DOS support has been lost by the meantime. The original MS-DOS version can still be found on the Internet but is unmaintained and should be considered obsolete. The current development focus on cleaning the code and port the game to available operating systems. Our objective is to release the version 1.0 as a clean and portable base that would allow further important works such as network support or programmable vehicles.
