"What's going on?" isn't as important as "What's coming out?" in this hilarious arcade game by Computer Shack! As the outhouse attendant, you must keep the facilities safe from harm.
Is nothing sacred? Thieves are making off with your toilet paper supply, stringing it out the door and across the field! As you ship hovers above, you must pick off the scoundrels, being careful not to fire into the fragile toilet paper.
There's even trouble from about! The skies are filled with enemy ships, just waiting for the chance to wipe you out (Pardon the pun)!
This is definitely one of the wackiest and most original games to hit the market in a long time. If you haven't played Outhouse, then you haven't lived!
When the colour test screen appears, press the reset button if the screen is not the colour indicated. If the colour is correct, press ENTER. Press Y or N to answer the joystick question. From the title page, press 1 or 2 to start game (1 or 2 players).
Each player starts with three ships, three smart bombs and 200 feet of paper in the outhouse. Players alternate turns. To start turn, press any arrow key, move the joystick, or press the space bar or fire button.
Use the arrow keys or joystick to move your ship, and the Space Bar and arrow keys or fire button and joystick to fire.
For example, to shoot straight down, press the Space Bar and the down arrow key at the same time - or press the fire button while the joystick is pointing down.
The middle of your ship is white when you are ready to fire.
Note: You cannot move and shoot at the same time.
Press any number key (0-9) to start the smart bomb (destroys all enemies on the screen).
At the end of each attack wave, a bonus is given based on the amount of paper left.
The first two waves give 1 x bonus, the second two 2 x bonus, and so on, up to a maximum of 20 x bonus.
An extra ship and smart bomb are awarded for each 10,000 points scored, and a bonus roll of paper (50 feet) is given after every fourth wave completed (up to a maximum of 250 feet total). You lose your ship by being shot by a zapper or by colliding with any other object on the screen (including exposed paper or the outhouse itself). The game ends when all ships are lost, when the outhouse is hit by any object, or when all paper is stolen or destroyed. You may end the game at any time by pressing BREAK and CLEAR together.
If your score is one of the best eight displayed, you may enter your name or initials (up to six characters). Use the left arrow key to erase any mistakes, and press ENTER when finished.
I would like to thank Larry Ashmun for his invaluable help, assistance, praise, criticism, enthusiasm, sarcasm and disk expertise, on this program and the seven preceding it.
