Run T-Rex, Run!!! for Oric
==========================
About:
------
This is a simple side-scrolling game
for Oric-1/Atmos/Telestrat/AtmoStrat.
Basically it's a remake of the Google
Chrome secret hidden game, which is
available when the browser runs in
off-line mode.
More information about the original
can be found at:
https://goo.gl/9tXcLj
... and a "hacked" version for on-line mode
or for other browsers here:

... and here as extracted sources:

Rules:
------
The Game is very easy - run, jump or duck!
Technical:
----------
Altrough the game looks unpretentious,
it uses some unique techniques:
* 2 pages switching for smooth animations:
The render "engine" uses 2 pages - one
in Text mode and one in Hires. After
every new frame is updated pages are
quickly switched.
* Automatic vertical synchronization:
Using 50/60Hz attributes with special
calculated timinigs at startup allows
to catch the vertical retrace and to
initialize VIA's T1 properly.
* Two different render routines are used
for Text and for Hires drawing.
* The standard character set is used for
sprites. Some chars are redefined on-the-fly
for every new frame.
Legal stuff:
------------
This game is FREE.
