Short: Multiplayer artillery game Author: t150315@cc.tut.fi (Eero Tamminen), frank@phoenix.owl.de (Frank Wille) Uploader: frank phoenix owl de Type: game/2play Requires: OS2.0 and AGA or CyberGfx or Picasso96 (rtgmaster.library) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Mortar is a sideview, multiplayer artillery game, somewhat similar to Atari Ballerburg, DOS Scorched Earth and Amiga Scorched Tanks. Game is composed of one or more rounds where players battle on a randomly generated landscape. Each player selects in turn ammunitation and shoots it at another player, intending to inflict some damage on him/her/it. Players are represented by cannons, possibly having shields which at first protect player from damage. After shields have been weared down and player's energy is exhausted, the player's cannon explodes and the round is over for him/her/it. Round continues until only one player is left (or none). Between rounds players may purchase more ammunitation etc. Player who has won most rounds or in case of a tie, one who has more money left, wins the game. The more the players the merrier the game. Four players is much more fun than two, so this is kind of a party game... Start Mortar by typing: amortar -p data PlayerName1 PlayerName2 PlayerName3 ... Most important keys: Cursor left/right: decrease/increase shooting angle Cursor up/down: increase/decrease gun powder Return: shoot Space: select another shot type or activate a shield For more information, please read the full documentation in doc/mortar.6.
