Synopsis:

Death from above is a fairly self explanatory ballistic game.  The object of the game is to kill off the other players. Your arsenal is made up of a cannon that you can rotate through 180 degrees, from 0 degrees facing right, to 180 degrees facing left. You launch an explosive object from the muzzle at a speed and angle you select, and from there on it travels by the laws of physics.

The main controls allow you to adjust the angle and thrust.

There is a separate player setup control which allows you to Change your name, Change your color, and change the size of the explosive charge you throw.

The size of the explosive can have interesting effects.  The explosive size is directly related to the size of the hole in the ground when the projectile lands, and it is also directly related to the mass of the object. If you increase the size of the explosive, the bomb is not going to go as far, and it is going to make a bigger hole.

You can blow yourself up.  You don't get credit for the kill if you kill yourself.

This game is designed to run across a LanManager Based network. It should work across any other network under OS/2, but as I have not had the ability to test on anything other than LanMan, I can not guarantee it.
