[Software Santa]

Abe's Amazing Adventure is a scrolling, platform-jumping, key-collecting, ancient pyramid exploring game ... for Windows and Linux ... Mac Version Doesn't work on 10.7 Lion on up ... 

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.

Known issues/Bugs

        * 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 ;-)
