Nicky Boum SDL/GBA README Release version: 0.1.5 (Mar 15 2006) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About: ------ Nicky Boum is a classic platformer game initially designed for the Amiga. The game was published my Microids in 1992 and was also ported to the Atari ST and PC EGA platforms. This project aims to rewrite the original engine of the game and requires the original datafiles. This rewrite is based on the reversing of the Amiga and PC versions. Requirements: ------------- You need the original DOS version data files. The list is : *.BLK *.CDG *.REF *.SPR You also need some extra datafiles which can be downloaded from the project webpage. Running the SDL version: ------------------------ Download the extra datafiles package and extract its contents to the directory containing the original files. By default, the engine will try to load the game data files from the current directory. You can change that by using the command line options. The game keys are : Arrow Keys move Nicky Space/Ctrl action button 'i' toggle inventory display 'p' pause the game F1 cheat mode, gives you all bonuses F2 cheat mode, jumps to the next level Running the GBA version: ------------------------- The game keys are : Keypad move Nicky A/B action button Select toggle inventory display Start pause the game L cheat mode, gives you all bonuses R cheat mode, jumps to the next level Missing features: ----------------- The game logic is fully rewritten, so the game should be completable. Yet, this rewrite isn't complete as there are still some features that I plan to add : - add a highscore screen - add a level selection/password screen - enable in-game music playback for GBA version Credits: -------- Dominico Manfredi and Alain Lambin, the original authors of the game.
