Changes

The graphics are simple and colorfulcolorful. When the chutist is about 500 feetrom from the ground the scale of the targetchanges. becoming larger. An indicator indicator arrow on the left side of the screenlets the player know the velocity anddirection of the wind. Indicators at thebottom of the screen report the chutist·s chutist's altitude. , rate of descent. , timeand distance from the bullseye. Thereis a tone that sounds to mark the passing passing of "seconds." These are gametime seconds. , not real -time.East' ===Ease of Ust': Use===  Prior to the start of thegame. a screen appears showing theplayer how to maneuver the airplaneand the chutist. However. I was confused confused for my first several jumps. OnceI had it in mind that the number keys,and not the arrow keys. control thejumper. I had no trouble guiding thechutist to the target.Doeunwntation: ===Documentation=== Although the manual manual includes plenty of informationabout how to play the game, it's all intext. It would have been nice to have achart of some sort, similar to theinstructions that preceed the game., included with the manual. Larry Sabo,who created the game. , says th ..1t that he isredesigning the documentation toinclude a chart. ===Value: === As a multi-player game, SkyDiver is fun. However, Iwould like to have seen the total scoresof all players shown at once at sometime. but there is no scoreboard featurefeature. This is not .. 111 arcade game. soyou shouldn't expect everything tohappen with lightning-like speed. Persons Persons ranging in age from 8 to adult whotried the game out all had good thingsto say about it. My principal reservation concernsthe price. Although I have no doubtabout the quality of programming thatwent into this game. I feel it would bemore successful if it were priced at adollar or two less. I realize it is not mybusiness to set prices. but it is not possible possible to determine the value of anyitem without referring to the price atsome point.
