- What is Rope -Ĵ
                                                                             
 Rope is a fliptro. Fliptro means, it has something to do with flippos.      
 Actually, this is even my contribution to the annual FlipFeest '95 party    
 held in Utrecht.                                                            
                                                                             
- What's a flippo -Ĵ
                                                                             
 A few months ago, some jerk at a potatochip factory decided to do something 
 commercial. He stuffed every bag of potatochips with stupid plastic coins   
 and devices an even dumber game around those coins. The coins are called    
 Flippos and you can collect them all if you are hungry enough. Rumour has   
 that in one bag, there is a golden Flippo. This golden flippo is sort of a  
 jackpot flippo. When you found one, go to your local convenience store and  
 cash your prize!

 I don't care (and to be honest, you don't care either).

 NO, IT DOESN'T :)

 Ok, now, here goes. Rope was made using SD Game Controller version 1.01b.   
 The system was designed for simple games, but in the hurry I used it to     
 make this. Some specs of the system:                                        
                                                                             
     * Gravis Ultrasound 2Mb tweaked sample mode usage for 88.2KHz stereo    
       32-bits samples                                                       
     * utilizes RISC instructions on P6 with special RISC Mode DOS extender  
     * multipage truecolor graphics driver, works on every SVGA !            
     * realtime rendering and larusse algebra routines                       
     * hardware timing with VRTRQ handler                                    
                                                                             
 The graphics are made with Peter Norton's Norton Utilities 5.0. I used the  
 selective unerase function to compose the titlescreen.
