<K-Boom> v.1.2.0 
----------------
By .HCC. ~Software~ -2001/03-    
    
    
Description:    
-----------    
This program is a PC clone of the great Atari2600 game, Ka-Boom! 
The main purpose of this game is to honor to the original game, plus  
this version adds new graphics, new sounds, music, modified game play  
and some others improvements; so the spirit the speed and the addiction  
of the real Ka-Boom are still here (with a few make-up).
  
This game was written only for fun; no money, no registration, nothing.

Features:  
--------  
+ Amazing speed!  
+ Colorfull new graphics (maintaining the original style)  
+ Music and sound.  
+ Mouse operated (see below for info on how to connect a real Atari 2600  
  Paddle control)  
+ Three game variations (Standard, Windy and Shooting!)  
+ ...Did I mention the speed?  
+ It's FREE!  
  
  
System requirements:  
-------------------  
- Seventium 10GHz 1024M Ram, DirectX 11... just kidding!! 
  A fast 486(DX2/DX4) with 8M Ram and Vesa (LB/PCI) video card is enough
  to run K-Boom at full speed.  -This is not a joke-  
  (a lower system may also run the game very well, instead) 
- 4M of free hard disk space.  
- Sound blaster, Gravis Ultrasound, or 100% compatible sound card  
  (optional for music and sounds)  
- Mouse (highly recommended)  
- Dos 6 or higher (Windows 9x, Me) -may not work on W2000/XP-
  
  
Installation and execution:        
--------------------------       
-Extract all files in a new folder like: 'C:\GAMES\KBOOM\'  
-At the dos prompt type KBOOM and press [ENTER] or double click the file  
 'Kboom.Exe' if you are using the Windows explorer.   
*Press [1] to start a new game.  
*Use the Mouse/cursors to move and the Mouse Button/[ENTER] to shot.  
*At the end of the game you can press [1] to restart, [SPACE] to return
