    JOE MONTANA FOOTBALL


    Release by INC.
    Cracked by THG.
    And now, the documents by Blue Duck.


    First things first, the MONTANA.VOC file included is just a
    Sound Blaster file with me talking.  Its nothing special, I
    just learned how to make .VOC files and decided to include
    one in on this particular .ZIP file.  Check it out if you have
    a Sound Blaster.  It was recorded at 6,000 Hz and compacted at
    four-bit, so along with a cold it doesn't truly sound like me.

    I personally bought this game because my brother and I played it
    a lot and I like to support good software.  So anyways, I have
    all the complete docs (all you get here is the reference card),
    so if you have any questions you can reach me at Plato's Place,
    Black Ice, Twilight Zone, or Hall of Illusions.  Enjoy the game.
