Amegas - Manual AMEGAS is a version of the arcade classic 'Breakout', featuring 40 levels, excellent graphics and a stunning soundtrack. The game is played in the usual way. The player controls a moveable bat placed at the bottom of the screen. This bat is used to bounce a ball, so that it collides with a wall at the top of the screen, thus destroying a section of wall. Collecting the coloured blocks which drop from the wall, provides the player with special powers, these include: RED.................LASERS BLUE................EXPANDING BAT GREEN...............MAGNETIC BAT PURPLE..............LEVEL WARP YELLOW..............SLOW DOWN ORANGE..............EXTRA LIFE LIGHT BLUE..........MULTIPLE BALLS NOTE: When the wall is completely destroyed, the player is transported to the next level. CONTROL After extensive playtesting, the authors decided against the inclusion of a joystick or keyboard control option. This is because they found that using the standard Amiga mouse gave vastly improved performance. Therefore the mouse controller is the only control option available. The game can be played by 1 or 2 players by pressing the left or right mouse button respectively at the Amegas title screen. Move the mouse left and right to move the bat left and right respectively. Pressing the right mouse button will activate a collected capsule. Pressing the left mouse button will fire lasers if you have caught and activated a red capsule. The left button will also fire the ball if you have caught and activated a green capsule. After losing all your lives, pressing the right mouse button allows you to restart the game where you left off, pressing the left mouse button will start the game from level 1.
