TTTTTT HH HH BBBBB TT HH HH BB BB TT HHHHHHH BBBBB THE HIDDEN BELOW TT HH HH BB BB (C) 1993,94 by TT HH HH BBBBB Soft Enterprises Changes from version 1.00 to 1.10A patch ====================================================== * Bug fix: Loading an old saved game during gameplay could occasionally lead to crashes. * Bug fix: The game was never allowed to use more than 3 MB of memory - this has now been increased to around 6.5 MB (more than enough ...) * Extension: When the main program is run it now checks if enough extended memory is available. If not, THB exits with an appropriate message, whereas before low memory simply crashed the game - although not immediately... * Bug fix: Due to a compiler error, certain computer / graphics cards combinations sometimes caused THB to refuse to start or to crash after a short time-this is now fixed- (Hello there, programmer of the memset() routine!) * Enhancement: Now that so many people have asked for mouse control, this is finally included in THB. However, this is only available in the actual game; the menus are still controlled via the keyboard. To adjust the mouse individually, the file C:\SE\THB.CFG may be changed as follows: Insert under [Setup]: mouseX = 256 mouseY = 256 These are the mouse sensitivities in X/Y- direction. 256 is the normal value, higher values accelerate more, smaller values move slower. * Change: When opponents hit the player with their shots, this often resulted in an explosion which was so large that one could see nothing else - since version 1.10 these big explosions are just not shown. * Extension: The current level is displayed on the screen. * Bug fix: There was still a very serious bug in some levels which either crashed the computer, added a few million to the score, or completely messed up the keyboard - This error is fixed now. ================================ A little note of thanks (and simple honesty): We (Soft Enterprises) thank you for buying this game despite (or because of?) the unjustifiably bad reviews. I'm sure you haven't regretted it. Unfortunately, things are not exactly easy for newcomers in the software scene; especially not if you come from Germany and try to take on the "all-powerful software companies from overseas" (irony!). Some publications also thought it was necessary to test an early pre-release version and then hurt us with bad reviews, instead of appreciating the fact that finally *GERMANY* is producing hi-tech software instead of just bland simulations. It is also strange that THB was rated similarly to games like "Hallway 7" or "Trümminator Rampage" (names changed). Maybe that would be worth a letter to the magazines in question?!?
