                             - N A T I V E    DEMO -

                            Copyright 1997 by Duranik


    This Demo does not contain Sounds, LevelBosses, and
    the Native extra weapon system due the low amount of
    available work RAM.
    Remember: It is not possible to reload data with the current
              version of the Jag-Server software therefore we have
              to store all the compressed Native data in memory.      
              We have to divide the memory into 1 MB work ram and
              1 MB compressed data.
              It was simply not possible to include more data
              like all the Sounds and the 2 LevelBosses. Sorry.
 
  
  * General

    Native is a horizontal 2D shoot em'up.
    Press the A, B, or C Button to get started.
                                           

  * Controls

    Use the JagPad to move your spaceship.
    The weapons are controlled with the B and C Buttons of
    the Pad. With the B-Button you are able to shot.
    It is only a shot with low energy. But be careful some
    enemies need more than one low energy shot to blast.
    Therefore use the C-Button to fire a shot with more energy.
    You can see the amount of energy for your Power shot
    on the left bottom of your screen.
                        


  * Extra weapons ( not included in the demo !)

    Native does contain two combined extraweapon systems.
    Some of the destroyed enemies lose a coin or a star.
    Collect the money to buy extra weapons in the shop
    in the middle of each level. You can buy for
    example a satellite, lives, energy etc...
    The star is something different. It contains a
    letter like for example a "O" or "X".
    Every letter picked up will transform your ship completely.
    There exists five different classes of ships.
    If you pick up the same letter again you will power up the
    shot power of your ship. (Again 5 different power classes for
    each ship).
    It is the same system used in the best ST shoot'em ups
    Wings of Death and Lethal Xcess.
    Remember: The extra weapon system is not included in the demo.
              You can collect the money the stars can't be
              collected in the demo.

  * Publishing

    We don't have a publisher for Native till now. If we don't
    find a solution in the next 4 weeks we will stop any work
    on this game.
    As you can see on the demo size it is not possible to make
    a 16 MBit (2 MByte) cartridge out of this game.
    The complete level with the 2 Bosses and FX Samples will take
    about 1.6 MByte (and still does not contain any Music).
    We are using a good compression algorithm but 2D graphics does need
    a lot of memory.
    The only solution is a CD version but we don't have a CD-devkit...


             
  Native demo is freeware. You can copy it as long as no profit is
  made. 
       
  If you want to put this demo on your homepage or do anything else with
  it please ask us.

  It is not allowed to put this demo on any kind of CD-Rom without
  our written permission.
