- INTRODUCTION
-
- Spider Spell is a non-violent version
- of hangman. It has a dictionary of
- over 4,000 words, and uses music and
- dancing bugs as a reward for correct
- words. Spider Spell is entirely mouse
- driven.
-
-
- THE STORY
-
- The 3 bug brothers have a broken cord
- on their radio. They are sad as they
- love to dance to music. The 3 snake
- sisters have agreed to help them by
- joining together to form a new cord,
- but the want the bug brothers to work
- for their help. They must guess a word
- that each one thinks of. As they get a
- word correct one of the snake sisters
- will form a part of the cord. Once all
- three snakes are joined to the cord,
- the radio will turn on, a tune will
- play and the bugs will dance. Your job
- is to help the bug brothers by
- guessing each letter in a word. Sammy
- spider will move each letter as you
- guess it, either to place it in the
- word or to have Betty beetle burn it.
- You may only get eight guesses wrong
- before Sammy will show you the word
- and you'll have to start with a new
- word.
-
-
- INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Once loaded, the Spider Spell
- selection screen appears. Use the
- mouse to select either end game or the
- number of letters in a word - 3 to 8
- letters or any word. The main game
- screen will appear. Select letters by
- moving the mouse over them and
- pressing either mouse button. The
- letter will turn green, and cannot be
- selected again. If the letter is in
- the word then Sammy will move down the
- screen and take the letter up to the
- word box. If the letter is not in the
- word then one of the eight baby bugs
- will move onto the screen. Once all
- eight babies are on the screen Sammy
- will show you the word and then give
- you another word to guess. You may
- quit this game at any time by
- selecting the 'END' box at the base of
- the screen.

-
- We are a group of programmers that
- see a great gap in the ST software
- market for children's software - both
- educational and games. We produce this
- software as shareware and encourage
- you to copy it and give copies away to
- friends and enemies. We do ask that
- all files remain unaltered on the disk
- if you choose to share it around. If
- you use and enjoy the program then
- please send an amount of money,
- suggest $15-20, to the address below
- to become a registered user. (Does
- this mean I'll soon be rich? Ha Ha!)
