+# Blob Wars : Attrition
+
+This is the port of the Blob Wars Attrition 1.2.2 for the AmigaOS 4. It is
+tested and runs well on X5000/40. Also I tested it on microAmigaOne but the
+lack of graphics memory (32MB total) makes it really slow. 
+
+This archive does not contain any data files. In order to play the game, you 
+will need to purchase the data. You can do so here:
+
+http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/games/attrition/#purchase
+
+To install it, extract all the files from the bought Linux archive
+(blobwarsAttrition-1.2.2.linux-x86.tar.gz) anywhere at you hard disk
+and copy over all the files from this archive. A requester will show up
+to replace the blobwarsAttrition binary, which you need to confirm.
+
+I do not recommend to use the demo data provided from the official website,
+because they do not work correctly.
+
+It is recommended to have the following SDL2 options enabled at its prefs:
+- Driver: opengl/opengl2 depending your gfx card and the drivers you have
+installed in your system
+- Batching Mode: enabled
