Description:Abe's Amazing Adventure is a scrolling, platform-jumping, key-collecting, ancient pyramid exploring game, vaguely in the style of similar games for the Commodore+4. The game is intended to show young people (I'm writing it for my son's birthday) all the cool games they missed.
System Requirements:
The SDL and SDL_mixer libraries. The game will compile and run on Linux, Windows, MacOS X and the BeOS.
To compile on linux get the source, untar it and:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
You can also cross-compile to windows by:
./autogen.sh
./cross-configure
./cross-make
For more info on cross-compilation, look here.

* On a MacOS X laptop, I couldn't run the game in fullscreen mode. Run the game with the --window option.
* If the game won't start and complains about sound support, run it with the --nosound option.
* If you get really frustrated, edit Game.h and set GOD_MODE to 1. Then pressing "g" will toggle god mode ;-)
