Welcome to the world of Lazer Mech...

               *** TO RUN LAZER-MECH... TYPE "LMECH"  :-) ***

This game was created and programmed by Joz Ong. The following is a brief text
on the background of Lazer Mech and some game instructions. For a FULL detailed
version, please read the instruction in the Instruction menu inside the game.
The Registration fee for Lazer Mech is ONLY $10.00 (Aus.) ! This is DAMN cheap.
And so if u wish to register, please print out the REGISTER.FRM and fill it out
complete with a Cheque or Money Order to Jozarino Ong. Benefits of Registration
include a much more advanced version of Lazer Mech, with FULL sound effects, 
More weapons to choose from, one player story mode with quests and prizes,4 new 
mechs to choose, and coming soon, a 4 player version of Lazer Mech!!! :-)

This game is intended to be played by 1 or 2 players. Each controlling a mech, 
and trying to blow each other apart with the various weapons and devices they 
have.



In the grim far future... those who control the giant mechs controlled power,
and wealth. Each Mech owner tries to be the one surviving mech left, to 
control the world! Each day, great battles are won and lost through these
battles held in stadiums held world wide. Two mechs enter the arena armed with
their mechs, weapons and shields. It is a battle to the death, with the victor 
winning the prize of life. You get three types of weapons...

        1) LAZER GAUSS - (Nickname - BFG9000) 
        2) AUTOCANNON SHELLER 
        3) MISSILE LAUNCHER - (For all you DooM freaks... :-))

As an added bonus, you get a Plasma Shield equipped to your mech. These shields
are great in that they prevent up to 10 damage to your mech, but consumes a LOT
of energy! (Shields only last for 1 turn). 
And this brings us to talk about Mech Energy... you have a limited supply...
70 actually, and this powers your mech as well as providing power to your Lazer
and shield. If you run out during battle... :-( Tough Luck Pal, instant death 
as the fusion core inside your mech explodes!!! 

           SO DON'T WASTE ENERGY!!!    hehehehehehehe :-)

Below is the table of how much damage each weapon does and how much ammo it
takes and the amount you have:


      +===============+===============+=============+===========+
      |    WEAPON     |    DAMAGE:    |    TAKES:   |   AMMO:   |
      +===============+===============+=============+===========+ 
       
         L.A.Z.E.R.        1 - 15        -5 ENERGY    70 ENERGY   

        AUTO-CANNON          6            1 ROUND        15

       ROCKET LAUNCHER    15 - 20         1 Rocket        3



Aiming is another important factor in Lazer-Mech. Where you aim can effect
the chances of you hitting. For example... Aiming at the Head of a mech is
VERY difficult (slack.. BUT VERY FUN!! hehehe) ... a 5% chance of hitting.
However a much larger area such as the Torso is much more easier to hit...
60% chance.. But is usally covered up with much more armour and thus makes 
it harder to penetrate. The leg has a 30% chance of being hit, and usually
doesn't have that much armour to protect it.

    NB: A small hint... ONE LUCKY shot to the Head will almost definitely
        KILL a WHOLE mech.. hehehehe. (But of course the chances are small).
        If you are low on armour and feel that even your shield can't protect
        you now... Go for his head.. Blast that sucker away !!!!

The 1 player version of this game is nearly exactly the same as the 2 player 
game except you face the computer instead of a friend/enemy etc...

I have made the Artificial Intelligence for the computer the BEST possible.
It will recognise various situations and will act on them. There are 5 levels
of Intelligence.. 1 being the lowest and 5 the most Difficult mech you will
EVER fight!!!
