a pretty decent version of that flappy bird kind of game. Technically nothing special, but the design and music makes it imho worth to play.

========================================
               [ SuperFly ]
========================================

One man. One mission. One woman. One fat
evil enemy. One goal. One flight. One
adrenalin pumping ride. One vision. One
decision. One button.

========================================
                                  Story
========================================

Dr Snuggles awoke from troubled dreams.
He felt like there was something 
missing. Feeling around in his bed he
found there to be a vacuum where his
girlfriend kylie should be lying.

He sat up with a start and quickly
removed the vacuum cleaner from his
bed. How did it get there? Had he put
it there himself? No, he would never
sleep with a vaccum cleaner. Well,
there was that one time, but he had
been drunk and lonely ... no, there
was something more sinister afoot.

Peeling back the bedsheet like the 
crusty custard skin on an old sponge
pudding he wailed for his lover.

"KYLIE!"

He could hear no response.

In fact, he could hear very little
over the din of the vaccuum cleaner.
Switching off the device, he bellowed
again.

All was quiet. Too quiet.

Dr Snuggles went through a range of
emotions; worried, scared, sad, anxious,
angry, frustrated, mischevious,
confused, carefree and constipated.

Stumbling around his bedroom like an
antelope on a roundabout, something 
caught the eye of Dr Snuggles. It was a 
coathanger that was protuding at an 
awkward angle from the wardrobe. Rubbing 
his bruised eye, he then noticed the 
reason for the unwanted protrusion.

Attached to the coat hanger was an
envolope.

Trembling hands snatched it up.

Two words in large red letters were
emblazoned on the envelope.

"READ ME"

Under this, in smaller letters was
the phrase.

"IF YOU DARE!"

And under this, in even samller print
was the following"

"(HAHAHAHAHA!)"

Well, thought Snuggles, at least the
author must have some sense of humour,
although he had to admit that he didn't
get the joke.

Inside was a single sheet of A4.
Letters cut from newspaper made up a
crude message.

"i HaVE kIDNaPpe YoU GiRLL."

Damn, thought Snuggles, he's used
newspaper cutting to disguise his
handwriting. I'll never know who this
is or where he's taken her.

A shudder passed over Snuggles. He 
hoped this kidnapper hadn't taken her in
the biblical sense too. Not without at
least providing him with photographic
evidence.

With sweaty palms he continued reading.

"sOOn ILl RuLE THE WuRLd!"

Having the planet ruled by such an
illeterate didn't seem like a good thing
to Dr Snuggles. However, he resoned, it
hadn't stopped Geroge Bush.

The stakes had been raised. Not only 
had he got to save his girl, the world
also needed saving too.

"It never rains but it pours."
He mumbled in annoyance.

But the time for mumbling was over, it
was now time for action. Grabbing his
cleanest pair of pants (only worn twice
this month to his memory) and a 
practical but not fashionable jumper,
Snuggles started to get ready.

Absent mindedly putting his pants on
the wrong way, he continued reading
the note for further clues.

"yOO wIl nEVER fIND ME !!!"

Under this it was signed

"Professer Evil, Moon Base Alpha
tel (+93)01307 432821
email: evil@moonhideout.com"

Maybe this could give me some clue
to his identity ... thought Snuggles.

And then it struck him. The Moon! It
was the last place he would have
thought of looking - so that is
probably where the Evil professor had
gone.

"Very Clever Prof Evil" thought 
Snuggles "but not clever enough!"

So, Destination : Moon. Snuggles 
pondered about taking a rocket directly
there or going on a long circuitous
route involving submarines, helicopters,
spaceships and rocket boots.

The latter option, whilst slower and
less practical appealed to his gadget
loving nature.

"It will be cool!" he declared to
no-one in particular, pulling his
brown pringle jumper over his head.

It was time to head for the secret
cave and his secret submarine. Looking
around the room for a final time he
saw kylie's clothes scattered over
the floor, and a discarded vacuum
cleaner box.

He narrowed his eyes, gave his Hoover
Suckomatic 3000 a farewell pat, and
with steel in his eyes and his pants,
he headed for the door.

========================================
                            How To Play
========================================

Throughout the game you will get to
pilot different vehicles through
different terrains. The basic control
mechanism stays the same - press fire
to thrust upwards, release fire and
gravity will start pulling you towards
the ground.

In certain game modes you will have
items to collect, in other you have
to reach a certain point on the map.
In all modes you must avoid the
obstacles!

========================================
                               HardWare
========================================

SuperFly should run on all atari 
machines with 1MB of memory or more.

If running from a 1MB floppy system,
create an AUTO folder on that disk
and move SUPERFLY.PRG into there.

SuperFly has been tested on the
following hardware:

* Atari STFM
* Atari STE
* Atari Mega ST
* Atari Mega STE
* Atari TT
* Atari Falcon

this game. It will work with both

Icon lists present you with an array
of icons representing a list of 
different options. Only one icon
will be displayed on screen with
arrows on either the left or right
(or both) indicating which direction
you can scroll through the options 
in. Use left and right to scroll
through the options in an icon list.

Sliders give you a range of values for
an option. Use left and right to set
the slider.

Links take you to another page in the
front end.

Throughout the front end you can press
the Back button to return to an earlier
menu.

The Back button is defined as:
