                      THE WORLD'S FIRST EVER 128 BYTE GAME

                               By Reservoir Gods


By day George was a humble  dogsbody,  a  simple school janitor whose hours were
spent sweeping up crisp packets and  fag  ends  from  behind the bike sheds. His
only small moments of  pleasure  came  when  cleaning  the  girls changing rooms
during PE sessions.

But as night swept over the  swirling  metropolis,  George leapt into his filing
cabinet and emerged as 'Hong Tron Phooey' Number 128byte Supervisor Mode guy!

With the scent of the night air  filling  his nostrils, George would leap aboard
his quantum powered  atomic  tricycle  and  hurtle  high  through  the night air
leaving a laser trail in his wake.

The thrill of the  ride  came  with  avoiding  the  mountainous skyscrapers that
littered the city.

Tonight was special. Tonight George was going  to  paint the town white with his
strobing laser trail. He tightened his grip  on the throttle and roared off into
the night sky.

                              -=HONG/TRON/PHOOEY=-

A whole Falcon game in 128 bytes? We kid you not, Atari kids.
One hundred and twenty eight bytes of  raw throbbing Falcon action lie quivering
in the humble bytes of this file.

. INSTALLATION

  Set your Falcon into True Colour 320x400 Mode (Interlace On/Double Line Off)
  Run 'HONGTRON.PRG'
  Hold on tight! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

. HONG KONG

  As you are flying through the sky, the city of Hong Kong looks mostly blue.
  Due to a hole in the space/time continuum, flying off the boundaries of the
  city will wrap you round to the other side.

  You can see the tops of the SkyScrapers on the map.
  Avoid them or you will die. Horribly.

  Your sky-trike leaves a searing trail in the sky.
  Do not drive into it or you will die. Even more horribly.

. TRON

  Use Cursor Left to turn your sky-trike left.
  Use Cursor Right to turn your sky-trike right.
  After dying you will be warped to a different part of the city.
  All city maps are based on original Ordnance Survey layouts.

. PHOOEY

  We are truly sorry that this game is so bobbins.
  128 bytes is not much for an entire game.
  We might do a super enhanced 256 byte version with multiple players, AI
  and score and stuff.
  Alternatively, we may just stay in bed and listen to "My Beatbox" by Deejay
  Punk-Roc.

. THE CULPRIT

  It's all the fault of MrPink and his crazy night-time devpac antics.
  All other members of RG are totally absolved of blame as they were all
  "washing their hair" during its creation.
