 This software will only perform on a 386 PC or better and was designed
 for use on 486 or better machines.  If run on a 386 you may experience
 agrivatingly slow responce and on a 286 or lower it absolutely will not
 run.  This is due to the level of graphics and music going on in the game
 Also because the game requires 640x480, 256 color graphics an SVGA Monitor
 is required.

 Getting Stuck ■ From time to time, the ball may appear to be stuck somewhere
 and seem as though it will never get out.  There is no situation where the
 ball will not free itself eventually.  The ball can get stuck for quite some
 time however.  If you do not feel like waiting for a couple minutes for the
 ball to free itself, press the ~ key (which will cause you to loose one
 life but will let you launch a new ball) ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■


 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
 Power Ups ■ The most important aspect of the game is the power ups.  It is
 important that you learn what they do.  When you change colors, that means
 you have gotten a new power up.  In the lower right side of the screen the
 name of the power up you now have is displayed.  In the instructions there
 is a description of what each power up does. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■


 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
 Joystick Problems ■ The add in program helper that I use to make the
 joystick work and the add in program helper I use to make the music work do
 not like each other (they wont work together).  That is why there is no
 option to turn the music on when using the joystick. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■


 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
 Memory Mangers ■ The add in program helper that I use to make the music
 work also does not like certain memory managers (like QEMM I think)  The
 music may make your machine lock up if you are running a memory manager
 that it disagrees with.  If you get persistent lockups then try running
 the game with the regular PC-Speaker  (it certainly doesn't sound as great)
 but you should be able to play the game without lockups)
   Also, in the beginning of writing this game the graphics helper I use
 didn't like certain VESA drivers, I don't know if that problem has been
 fixed or not. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■


 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
 Cheat Codes ■ There are cheat codes that can be used during the game.  If
 you would like a list of them, indicate this on your order form when you
 register.  They allow you to skip boards without finnishing, make funky
 colors, have the ball leave a trail and many more. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

 Compuserve EMail Address is 75570,2760 and my internet address is
