OTHER THINGS


------------------

TO ACCESS DIP MODE

------------------ 


Type 'pongkomb DIP' to start the game.  If you have a frame-rate change 

already stacked on the parameter line, use 'pongkomb speed x DIP'.

Alter the switches with up and down on the keypad.  Left and right selects

a switch, and space leaves the screen.  Switch flips aren't saved after

you quit Pong Kombat.

   

DIP SWITCHES and what they do.

 

1-comic advert on/off    (default : off)

  Turns on and off the ad for FWLS Komiks and short stories.  I installed

  the feature back when it looked like Komik would be out before Pong

  Kombat.  No release date is set due to a NASTY bug.

 

2-fatality check on/off  (default : on)

  Turns the blood on or off, except for Purple's weapon, which is drawn-in.

  I had to install this to qualify Pong Kombat as a school project.

  Kids, violence is evil.  Bad!  Bad!  Stomp out violence!  Kill all

  violent people!  Maim!  Dest... umm.  But I digress.

 

3-taunts on/off          (default : on)

  Shut Monolith up by clicking this to OFF.  He can be annoying.

 

4-extra credits on/off   (default : off)

  Flipping this on adds some more scanned photos of the staff that worked

  on the game to the end of the credits.  Credits are shown after White

  Paddle's demise.

 

5-white first on/off      (default : off)

  Turning this switch on will fast-forward the tournament mode right to

  white paddle.  I used this to test the ending sequence.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------

PONG KOMBAT SECRETS 

SECRET CHARACTERS

 

There are two major secret characters in the game, Monolith, and Shifter.

Shifter gives no clues like Monolith does.


-----------------

TO FIGHT MONOLITH

----------------- 


He speaks of a few clues, but here's the whole story... every now and then

on a missed ball, Nick Steele pops out and goes 'WHOOPSIE!'.  If he does

this on the Portal stage, press DOWN and your BUTTON.  You must press

these AFTER!!!! the speech clip finishes... there is a split second timing

type thing.  There will be an evil laugh, and Nick will vanish.  At the

end of the match, win or lose, the last person to down+button to Nick

gets to fight Monolith.  There is a one in ten chance of Nick showing

on a lost ball.

 

Monolith almost never misses a shot, and has large, fast-moving stars

as weapons.  He is relatively hard to kill.

 

----------------

TO FIGHT SHIFTER

---------------- 


On the Throne Room stage, execute a SPAMALITY.  Spamalities are the

sequence BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, UP after the announcer yells 'FINISH

HIM!'.  There will not be a siren, but the screen will clear and

your opponent is turned into two slabs of luncheon meat.  Notice that

the tablecloth is the same pattern as the toilet bowl water.

 

(NOTE : Spamalities REQUIRE a flawless victory, or else nothing will

 happen.)

 

Shifter blends into his background and NEVER misses a shot.  His weapons

are extremely hard to see, fly quite fast, and quite often.  He is

insanely hard to kill, but if you're good enough to get a spamality,

you're probably close enough...
