The first 16 bit video game borned from me years ago

BACCI and the ducklings v.2.4:
-----------------------------:

In this tiny video game, Bacci is
a super-equipped hunter of the Alps
Liguri who is in the midst of flocks of
birds of various kinds.
The aim of the game is to take down all the
birds, without running out of ammunition.
When the number of live birds is greater
the number of ammunition available to
BACCI, he has to go home with the
pive in the bag.
Attention, however: BACCI has rivals; Yes
it deals with reckless and envious hunters,
who, stealing the wings of Icarus, will try to
steal the game from BACCI, only afterwards
having reduced it to game.
BACCI has a jacket at his disposal
bulletproof, a rifle, a machine gun and a
radar.
By hitting a macroscopic letter, it
it will explode, taking both him to hell
birds than hunters who are close to it.
If the time available to you is
exhausted, BACCI must catch up with great
I regret his wife, who is waiting for him furiously
on the door, but in this case he lost one
bet with his friends; if instead he is
managed to clear the sky of all
birds, she'll have to cook for a year
whole meat to the little bird, with great
pleasure of her husband, who is very fond of it.
Have fun from the author of this
software, Paolo Fassin (seven "paintings"
consecutive).

Preference programming (CONFIG.EXE):
--------------------------------------------:

As has been said, this game is small;
to make it more interesting it was
added the configuration program
CONFIG.EXE.
It allows you to customize "BACCI & the
ducklings ", changing the weapons available,
the radar, the sounds and all
images / animations of the game, choosing them
among a decent range of variants.
Finally, with CONFIG.EXE, it is possible to create
new episodes up to a maximum even number
to 100 (this option is quite complex
and it is recommended to see the documentation
following before creating a new episode).
Since not all images / animations are
suitable for a specific purpose, "BACCI & the
ducklings "may not work; in this
case, exit the game and select the item
"standard reset" from the menu
main CONFIG.EXE (in this version
every risky operation is undertaken
after consulting the user, that
will be able to confirm or cancel it; moreover i
installed data are now more
protected).
Then save the changes with F10.

NOTE: If you want to delete all scores
from the special scoreboard that appears before
playing with BACCI.EXE, use the item
STANDARD RESET of the program
CONFIG.EXE.

Notes on programming a new one

is the level number); after that it will be
You can change the configuration of a

(new level).
Then choose the item SAVE

for the new level BACCILxx.CFG; the new
level saved in this way will be executed in
order specified by xx.
