OTHER THINGS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
TO ACCESS DIP MODE
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type 'pongkomb DIP' to start the game. If you have a frame-rate change
|
||
|
|
already stacked on the parameter line, use 'pongkomb speed x DIP'.
|
||
|
|
Alter the switches with up and down on the keypad. Left and right selects
|
||
|
|
a switch, and space leaves the screen. Switch flips aren't saved after
|
||
|
|
you quit Pong Kombat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DIP SWITCHES and what they do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1-comic advert on/off (default : off)
|
||
|
|
Turns on and off the ad for FWLS Komiks and short stories. I installed
|
||
|
|
the feature back when it looked like Komik would be out before Pong
|
||
|
|
Kombat. No release date is set due to a NASTY bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2-fatality check on/off (default : on)
|
||
|
|
Turns the blood on or off, except for Purple's weapon, which is drawn-in.
|
||
|
|
I had to install this to qualify Pong Kombat as a school project.
|
||
|
|
Kids, violence is evil. Bad! Bad! Stomp out violence! Kill all
|
||
|
|
violent people! Maim! Dest... umm. But I digress.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3-taunts on/off (default : on)
|
||
|
|
Shut Monolith up by clicking this to OFF. He can be annoying.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4-extra credits on/off (default : off)
|
||
|
|
Flipping this on adds some more scanned photos of the staff that worked
|
||
|
|
on the game to the end of the credits. Credits are shown after White
|
||
|
|
Paddle's demise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5-white first on/off (default : off)
|
||
|
|
Turning this switch on will fast-forward the tournament mode right to
|
||
|
|
white paddle. I used this to test the ending sequence.
|
||

PONG KOMBAT SECRETS
|
||
|
|
SECRET CHARACTERS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two major secret characters in the game, Monolith, and Shifter.
|
||
|
|
Shifter gives no clues like Monolith does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
TO FIGHT MONOLITH
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He speaks of a few clues, but here's the whole story... every now and then
|
||
|
|
on a missed ball, Nick Steele pops out and goes 'WHOOPSIE!'. If he does
|
||
|
|
this on the Portal stage, press DOWN and your BUTTON. You must press
|
||
|
|
these AFTER!!!! the speech clip finishes... there is a split second timing
|
||
|
|
type thing. There will be an evil laugh, and Nick will vanish. At the
|
||
|
|
end of the match, win or lose, the last person to down+button to Nick
|
||
|
|
gets to fight Monolith. There is a one in ten chance of Nick showing
|
||
|
|
on a lost ball.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Monolith almost never misses a shot, and has large, fast-moving stars
|
||
|
|
as weapons. He is relatively hard to kill.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
TO FIGHT SHIFTER
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the Throne Room stage, execute a SPAMALITY. Spamalities are the
|
||
|
|
sequence BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, UP after the announcer yells 'FINISH
|
||
|
|
HIM!'. There will not be a siren, but the screen will clear and
|
||
|
|
your opponent is turned into two slabs of luncheon meat. Notice that
|
||
|
|
the tablecloth is the same pattern as the toilet bowl water.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(NOTE : Spamalities REQUIRE a flawless victory, or else nothing will
|
||
|
|
happen.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Shifter blends into his background and NEVER misses a shot. His weapons
|
||
|
|
are extremely hard to see, fly quite fast, and quite often. He is
|
||
|
|
insanely hard to kill, but if you're good enough to get a spamality,
|
||
|
|
you're probably close enough...
