	MEGANOID GOLD is a new fast arcade freeware game for your Hp48g(X).


Presentation
============

	All this game is written in Machine Language. That's why this game
is fast, and beautiful. I use greyscales grafics, the buzzer, buffer memory.
You will need 17Kb to install the game, and 3Kb to use it.

	This GOLD version allows you to let your 3th best scores and names.
To do so, I use a Library Data object, in Home. So you could distribute this
game with your own Meganoid scores.

MEGANOID is a Breakout game, you have to destroy a wall with a ball. Each
time you break a brick you win points and maybe some bonus.


Before playing Meganoid
=======================

Download MEGANOID.LIB in your HP48 in binary, using Kermit protocol.
Meganoid is a library object. To use it, you must store it in a port:


- Remove possible older Meganoid verion :0:1623 PURGE

- Put the library in the stack, then: 'MEGANOID.LIB' PURGE

- type 0, 1, or 2 [..32], then STO according to whether you have a plug-in
  card.


Then press [ON]-[C].  (Press and hold [ON], then press [C] and release
them both).  The calculator will perform a warm start.
Meganoid Gold is now installed and ready for use.


Using it for the first time
===========================

Go to the library menu.
Press the white soft-key underneath the name MEGA.  If MEGA does not
appear in the menu, press [NXT] until it appears.
