Bermuda Syndrome/SDL README
Release version: 0.1.3 (March 24 2008)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


About:
------

This program is a re-implementation of the engine used in the game Bermuda
Syndrome made by Century Interactive and published by BMG in 1995. The original
data files are required (retail or demo versions).

This rewrite is based on the reversing of the original Windows executable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Think of it as "Flashback in Jurassic Park"

Readme:

There are some warnings throughout the game, ignore them as long as they
don't crash the program - in this case, tell me.

Installation:

Copy all the files from your CD/Demo package to the game dir and in a subdir
called DATA.
(The sub dir structure within this DATA dir *MUST* stay the same.
There is no checking for missing files from within the program, it will simply
not work, throw errors or crash.)
[A txt file with a sane subdir structure in this package: structure.txt]

You can optionally rip the audio tracks from your CD to a "music" subdir.
(The format of the files is lined out in the readme)

MIDI playback is [will] not [be] supported.
I'm no coder and implementing CAMD support is far beyond my abilities.
Sorry, i would very much like to have it myself to feed the starving MT-32 :-)

If you have nothing better to do with your time AND can code AND want to
implement CAMD support - get in touch with me :-)

For further information, consult the original README.

If you experience a crash after starting the game, try to up the stack in
the start script (i don't get any crashes, but i have a 512MB machine).
(There seems to be still a problem with overlay, though it works now.)

Many Thanks:

had to answer noob questions, you're gold, mate!

The guys and gals at #amigadev channel for their patience and help.

ToAks and spotUP for being guilty throwing me into this mess they call
"porting" ... err ... thank you guys? ;-)
