Rodney Vs KFC

INSTRUCTIONS

Rodney vs KFC
-------------

A "game" for Atari ST / STE computers.


Story:
------
Rodney, step-triplet of Ruff and Rad Rogers just had his 
compact disk collection nicked by the damn 
Klepto Foreign Chickens (KFC) gang while on his way to the
Dullsville copy party. As the KFC have been terrorizing town
for way too long now Rodney decides to put an end to it. 
So he heads back to his home, grabs his anti-chicken gun 
and runs to the KFC hideout. Once arrived at the location 
he notices that he only got 5 minutes and 30 seconds left until 
the bus is departing for Dullsville. F**k! He needs to find and 
fry all gang chickens fast and also needs to get all his disks 
back in time.
Are you brave enough to help Rodney?

DevpacST

Neochrome

crashes with bigger files.) But it gave me an idea
how to shoehorn all files into one big file, so many 
thanks for that!

This list is far from being complete, but I guess
noone really cares...

Anyways, enjoy & stay Atari!
