Penpalz was written in early Jan 1997. Since then we have come to a halt
in finishing this development, and would like some interest and encouragement
in completing this game.

The game works on the C64S emulator and on the real Commodore 64 as far as
we know. Remember this is just a prototype of the real game, so don't
expect it to be 100% bug free.

This preview version always has two player option on. Player one plug
joystick in port 2 and player two in port 1 (Most games have it in this way
for some reason!)

The idea of the game is to draw on the screen as much as you can and try
to fill a certain percentage of the screen before time runs out. Not as
easy as it may seem, as theres creatures on the screen that try to stop you!
Bonus color blocks are avalible to make life easier on the level. 

red flashing block   - Speed up
blue flashing block  - Freeze enemies for a short time
green flashing block - Invinciblity for player for a short time
gray flashing block  - Explode ink across the page

In the completed game you also have to collect letters in the game
to form the word 'bonus' and you will earn an extra life.

When time runs out the enemies disappear and the game works out the
percentage of the drawing you have done. After this, if you completed
a certain percentage you can proceed to the next level, else have to complete
the current level with a more difficult enemies on your arse.

But in this version when game ends, it halts. You would have to reload the
preview again to play again.



Well thats all I have to say about this game.
