Hurrah! Tomer has uploaded
tw05u4, the latest unofficial release of timewarp. It is in 2 pieces here
as fortunecity management does not allow files larger than 10 mb. So there
are 2 parts each about 5 megs in size.
What you need to do is to
get both of them and put them in the same directory. File division is made
by seperating directories, so you don't need to tinker with anything but
just copy and paste one part into the same directory as the other. If you
still can't manage it, email [email protected]
How to use
timewarp
In the game directory you'll
find 2 executables, scp.exe and scpwin.exe. One is to run game under dos
and other is under windows. But i got no problems playing it with the dos
executable under Win98. Yet dunno why, but in windows version AI
don't command the ships and computer ships stay there dumb. So i suggest
you run the game from scp.exe, cuz under dos version ship AI is competent.
First enter the options menu
and open sound and music and anti-aliasing. Choose player1 or 2 as computer
with dumb or good AI, make remaining player human. Then go arrange key
configuration from the menus and when done hit Melee. Choose or random
your and AI's ship and you are in!
gob.zip
As this
melee clone uses timewarp's dat files, just unzip it to timewarp directory.
Then run gob.exe. You will be fighting multiple enemies, and will get credits
for each ship you blast. To redeem your credits as upgrades, hit ESC, then
choose resume game, you will be asked if you want to upgrade your ship.
Spend your points as desired.
melee040.zip
This
is a melee clone totally unrelated to timewarp. Unzip it to a seperate
directory then run the game.
How to upgrade
Before
upgrading you must have a older full version of timewarp. If you don't,
then get the 4th unofficial release first and apply upgrade to it. To apply
upgrade, take cur_.zip and unzip it preserving directory structure. Copy
all what's in the root of opened zip and paste it to your previous version
timewarp directory. It will overwrite some files so say yes when it asks.
That's all.
for any problems or comments,
please feel free to contact [email protected]

Apollo Moon Mission
About 1966 or so, a NASA team doing work for the Apollo Moon
Mission, took the astronauts near Tuba City where the terrain of
the Navajo Reservation looks very much like the lunar surface.
Alone, with all the trucks and large vehicles, there were two large
figures dressed in full lunar space suits.
Nearby, a Navajo sheep herder and his son were watching the
strange creatures walk about, occasionally being tended by
personnel. The two Navajo peple were noticed and approached by
the NASA personnel.
Since the man did not know English, his son asked what the
strange creatures were, and the NASA people told them that they
are just men that are getting ready to go to the moon. The older
man became very excited and asked if he could send a message to
the moon with the astronauts.
The NASA personnel thought this was a great idea, so they rustled
up a tape recorder. After the man gave them his message, they
asked his son to translate. His son would not.
Later, they tried to get a few more people on the reservation to
translate, and every person they asked would chuckle and then
refuse to translate.
Finally, with cash in hand, someone translated the message,
"Watch out for these guys. They come to take your land!"
