Run T-Rex, Run!!! for Oric
==========================

About:
------
  This is a simple side-scrolling game
  for Oric-1/Atmos/Telestrat/AtmoStrat.

  Basically it's a remake of the Google
  Chrome secret hidden game, which is
  available when the browser runs in
  off-line mode.

  More information about the original
  can be found at:

  ... and a "hacked" version for on-line mode
  or for other browsers here:

Rules:
------
  The Game is very easy - run, jump or duck!

Technical:
----------
  Altrough the game looks unpretentious,
  it uses some unique techniques:

  * 2 pages switching for smooth animations:
    The render "engine" uses 2 pages - one
    in Text mode and one in Hires. After
    every new frame is updated pages are
    quickly switched.

  * Automatic vertical synchronization:
    Using 50/60Hz attributes with special
    calculated timinigs at startup allows
    to catch the vertical retrace and to
    initialize VIA's T1 properly.

  * Two different render routines are used
    for Text and for Hires drawing.

  * The standard character set is used for
    sprites. Some chars are redefined on-the-fly
    for every new frame.

Legal stuff:
------------
  This game is FREE.
