=======================================================


WHAT IS THIS????

This is a fairly complete collection of both static and animated objects needed to
create a vertically-scrolling arcade shoot'em up.

This particular set is loosely based on the classic arcade game "1943" but with
several differences:

1) The game objects are generally of a higher quality and pre anti-aliased 
for maxium visual impact.

2) There are some new enemies and power ups than are included in the original.

3) Some elements of the original game, such as clouds, different wave tiles, giant
ships, and end-level bosses are absent from this set. Why? Simple - I was lazy and
this is not for pay.


USAGE LICENSE & RESTRICTIONS:

The objects and animations contained in the 1945_full.bmp file are FREE to use for
ANY freeware or shareware games (either online or offline) you
create as long as the following criteria are met:

1) You must give me credit somewhere on the game's title screen.

Credit must include the following text blurb:

"Game artwork created by Ari Feldman
    ari@arifeldman.com"

I don't care about text size or placement as long as its clearly visible.
   

NOTE: The one exception here pertains to licensed games. You cannot use
the artwork included in this file if you intend to create an online game and
license it to any game site. Similarly, you cannot use the artwork in this
file for ANY custom, paid projects (online or offline).

Freeware games are fine as they give something back to the community.

Shareware games (which you can sell for a profit) are fine as well. If your
game is good enough and you market it right, you can make money.


2) You must send me a link to a download of your finished game so I can keep
track of who is using my game art and how it is being used. DO NOT send me your
game.

3) The images contained in the 1945_full.bmp files can only be used to create
vertically scrolling shooters like "1943". In other words, if you plan to
distribute your game, these elements cannot be used in other types of games.
For ex: You can't use the bullets in this set for a Space Shooter, etc.

NOTE: This restriction does not apply for personal, non-publically distribtuted
games and demos, however.

4) Games you create with this artwork cannot contain banner ads or use
in-game ad technologies such as those from Cydoor, etc.



OTHER NOTES:

This file can only be distributed from my web site, http://www.arifeldman.com
or from others with my express, written permission.

I fully support hobbyist game developers and will usually grant distribution
requests as well as special dispensations to my license restrictions if asked.


Have fun!
