               WALLBALL: A cute li'l game for the ST.

          WALLBALL is a cute li'l game I threw together while trying to
     learn to use both on the ST and the 'C' language.  It works in 
     HI-Res (Monochrome) mode only.  WALLBALL is a two-player game -
     two joysticks are recommended but the game can also be played with
     one or none.  There are three choices for ball speed, and you can
     play to a score of 5, 15, or 21.

          WALLBALL's inspiration dates back to 1979 when I was working
     the graveyard shift at the manufacturing arm of what was at the
     time a leading U.S. telephone monopoly.  Some of the automated
     testing stations had PDP-11 minicomputers and Tektronix terminals,
     and there was a 'secret', hidden, (removable) hard disk of BASIC
     games, one of which was volleyball.  It was slow-w-w-w, and the
     graphics were strictly dot-and-line, but it was the only pong-type
     game I knew of where the ball arced through the 'air' like a
     bouncing ball instead of flying in a straight line.

          I have no idea whatsoever who was responsible for that game,
     so I can't give them credit.

          Oh well.

          WALLBALL is shareware, which, seeing as it's only a game, means
     that it's basically free.  Feel free to copy, ditribute, UL, DL, or
     whatever as long as the copyright notices remain intact and this
     file stays with the game program.  You are under no obligation,
     legally or morally, to pay for it, but if you wanna send me a buck,
     it would definitely be appreciated.

          Send bug reports, suitcases full of money (or a buck), and
     snapshots of yer family to me at this address:
