MONEY CASCADE REQUIRES EVERY BIT OF MEMORY TO RUN. So any external DISK DRIVES or other devices must be REMOVED, Before running this game. So if you have anything connected:- SWITCH OFF your AMIGA now! and remove anything connected. Then reboot this game. NOW WORKS ON A HARD DRIVE HOW TO INSTALL MONEY CASCADE ON A HARD DRIVE Make a drawer of any name on you hard drive eg a GAMES drawer then copy the MCPICS drawer from the Floppy into the GAMES drawer then copy the program MCFM into the same drawer on hard drive then copy TTTable into the same drawer on hard drive Then if you like copy the MCFM.doc with it's icon. don't forget to make sure PPMORE is in your Hard Drive C drawer So there you have it, MONEY CASCADE is best run from cli for memory conservation etc, to use it on your hard through a ICON you must use ICONX if your short of memory. So by copying the Run_MCFM file with it's icon into the same GAMES drawer as the MCFM game file, things should then be OK. HIGH SCORE TOP TEN TABLE It now has a high score TOP TEN table, If you want your score recorded on the disk or HARD DRIVE then providing your disk is NOT write protected it will record any high scores thats achieved. If you want to reset TABLE then delete TTTable file using DOS or some directory copy utility such as Disk Master/Sid or OPus GRAPHICS machine buttons have also been graphically changed. also other minor touches on GAME OVER screen. OTHER MODS & REFINEMENTS March 1994 On the last two features PICK & MATCH and 5 AUTO WINS the jerky movement of the reels have been made more smooth movements. Sound effects have been reduced in volume & the more irritating effects have been removed, a NEW sound effect has been added which is when the reels start moving MOTOR HUM SOUND, Some very NEW more comical sound effects have been added. The bandit pays out slightly less to try and make it more realistic. To do this I've reduced the holds and made holds more intelligent, EG Not to be available at the wrong times such as after a win etc. same also with the feature hold bulb. The Number reel no longer spins on normal playing of the machine, which was really doing a pointless task on the original version. A NEW pointer as been added and is shown only when needed. Gambling number reel now spins faster and is less predictable, also like a real bandit the gambling is very devious, so take care when you gamble large amounts, the greedy lose! or for the bad losers press 'W' to switch devious off. The Main reels now spin slightly slower in normal play mode. Removed 16 Fruit symbols making 18 to each reel instead of 22 symbols in the 1st version Now on the Pick & Match feature you have 3 attempts for wins the early version only gave you a single attempt (MEAN eh) Bugs removal & Modificationss June/July 1994 Major BUG removal Repaired program crashing on high score display screen Removed a few minor bugs that were only noticable when playing for a long time, Modifications NOW requires 20p each play Installed AUTO HOLD Installed selectable 2 reelspin speeds Installed selectable Easy/Hard gamble feature option Installed Restart option Installed KEY used help screen Modified all screen displays Player names length from 5 to 7 letters wide Now works with shift lock on/off Removed the need of a disk font, now uses it's own built in fonts. Now it has it's own built in AMOS.libray For Your Benefit I have made the machine load it's samples from the disc Rather than have them built in, this enables you to change Them, You Need AMOS to do that, All pics & Samples are stored on the disc as Amos Banks. Also because this is licenceware I have included the source code on the disc, Write to me anytime, send me a donation if you like.
