Karnov - By Data East
|
|
|
|
Cracked by Mr. Transistor

|
|
NOTE: This archive is only to FIX the protected game, not the complete game!
|
|
|
|
To install the game on hard disk, copy the files on both floppies to the
|
|
subdirectory of your choice on any DOS drive. Then, delete the file:
|
|
QUICKDOS.HAK. This is no longer needed. To save space, if you have an EGA,
|
|
you can delete SPRITES.CGA or if you have CGA, you may delete SPRITES.EGA.
|
|
If you delete the wrong one, you'll get the error message: "Please Insert
|
|
Data Disk, and Strike any Key when Ready". Finally copy the file KARNOV.COM
|
|
from this archive to the subdirectory where the files from floppy were copied.
|
|
|
|
The game should work on RAM Disk, but has not been tested on one.
|
|
|
|
To run the game, execute the file KARNOV.COM by typing "KARNOV" and then
|
|
hitting Enter.
|
|
|
|
This one has an interesting feature: Hold down Either: Shift, Ctrl
|
|
or Alt while the game is first loading, and you will get a menu of available
|
|
video modes. If you don't, the program will make it's best guess...
|
|
|
|
At anytime after the title has loaded, hit Q to return to DOS (this one is
|
|
really clean on exit, all important vectors cleaned up, etc... so you should
|
|
have no mysterious problems after exiting).
|
|
|
|
For those interested: This was written in "C", and QuickSilver re-wrote the
|
|
"C" standard library for their compiler to do all it's disk accesses to floppy
|
|
disk A: only, via INT 13's. A real Toughie, it took about 4 days to fix.
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, thanks to RoboCop at The Gamer's Gallery BBS (312) 297-5385
|
|
for the game orginally, and thanks to Jay Baxter for U/L'ing the game there.
|
|
|
|
During the game, the normal number keys 1-4 on the keyboard toggle the various
|
|
heiroglyphic icons for sound, joystick control, 1-2 players, etc.
|
|
|
|
The boxes you pick up during game play contain either Ladders or Bombs. Using
|
|
a Joystick, press the 1st button for normal fire, and after you have picked up
|
|
a ladder or bomb, you press the 2nd button to select which ever one the arrow
|
|
is pointing to. Wiggling the joystick will change the arrow from one to the
|
|
other.
|
|
|
|
Good Luck, and Have Fun!
