GUARDIAN
===========

BBC version by S. Evans.
Copyright Alligata Software 1984.

RISC OS conversion by Michael Foot.
RISC OS version 1.04 (07 June 2006).

INTRODUCTION
------------

Up         - A
Down       - Z
Thrust     - SHIFT
Reverse    - SPACE
Fire       - RETURN
Smart Bomb - TAB
Hyperspace - H
Quit       - ESCAPE (only from menu screen)

CONFIGURATION
-------------

Inside the game application directory is a configuration file named !Config. Loading this into a text editor will allow you to change the game options.
Initially, the options are set to:

Lives=2
SmartBombs=3

Changing the value after the equals sign (=) will allow you to change the number of lives and smart bombs you initally start with.

COMPATIBILITY
-------------

This version uses a 256 colour mode to make it compatible with the
Iyonix. It should also work on any machine using RISC OS 3.6+.

The game looks best if the monitor supports a 640x512 256 colour
mode, but will fall back to 640x256 256 colour if the monitor
doesn't support 640x512.

KNOWN ISSUES
------------

The sound effects are not correct.
