Kill Everything That Moves OS4:

First of all , this game seems to be discontinued before they added sound so
there is NO SOUND in this release (which is very sad!).

Secondly , I had to disable FullScreen modes due to various buggy code but one
of them was that it insisted on looking for unknown registers and changing them
didnt help much (someone else might , if so contact me)  (sorry for releasing
it
like this)

Finally , i Released this port because i found this project to be really good
even in such unfinished conditions and i wouldnt mind continue developing this
project but i have tried reaching the author and its proven to be hard (the
website is down and the email service just fails)

Have fun with this little gem that could have been something really good.

Some Features:

Big End Of Level Bosses
Particle Engine (albeit abit slow at times)
Lots and Lots of Weapon Upgrades
Ship upgrades like speed and thrust.
Slick Gfx (which aims to look alot like an old CoinOp Classic) Parallax
Scrolling And so on.



The orginal Changelog is attached (keep in mind that some stuff has been
disabled / on and off.)
