Welcome to the world of AQUANAUT.

The story so far ......

 The year is 1999 and the world is facing destruction at the hands
of a powerful adversary.  A power-crazed devil has penetrated  the
Earth's defences and taken up residence in the treacherous  depths
of  the Dead Sea.  Scores of terrifying creatures have flocked  to
join  this invading force of pure evil,  building an enormous  and
formidable army.  Under the power of the charismatic  devil,  they
have  been  commanded  to attack the major cities  of  the  Earth,
destroying  everything in their path.  Many cities have fallen  to
this onslaught, but the forces of evil have been severely depleted
in the skirmish.
   Facing probable defeat,  the many groups of creatures have been
recalled from battle,  to form an all mighty  alliance.  Together,
they  have  been launched on one final  mission,  to  destroy  the
Temple of Knowledge, where the world's wisest populace reside.
    You  are  Captain James  Fredderick,  commander  of  the  most
powerful  underwater vessels in history - AQUANAUT.  In the  short
time you have had to prepare,  three craft have been completed and
are ready to go.  Alone,  you must pilot AQUANAUT against the evil
alliance,  for  the world as we know it is in your  hands.  Should
your craft be destroyed, you will have two more to aid you in your
quest.  Lose  both  of these,  and the knowledge of the  world  is
doomed, for the Temple of Knowledge will be destroyed.
    Your mission is to hold the evil forces at bay,  destroying as
many creatures as possible.  If you can hold out long enough,  the
devil will be forced to recall his disciples,  and the Temple will
be  safe for now.  Fight valiantly,  Captain Fredderick,  for  the
future of the world is in your hands ..........

   Well, we hope  you enjoy this little game. We  realise that  it
lacks a little in gameplay for the experienced arcade addict,  but
we designed it this way for a reason.  In these days of the modern
arcade  games,  very  few games are suitable for  young  children,
being far too complex for them to play.  Consequently,  we decided
to  keep the gameplay very simple in AQUANAUT,  so that  the  many
budding arcade freaks could pit their developing skills against an
equally vincible opponent.  With the help of Sewer Possum's  young
son,  we  think  we  have  achieved  just  the  right  balance  of
simplicity  and excitement to keep young children  captivated  for
longer than the average arcade game.
    However,  we  didn't  forget the  older  users  entirely,  and
decided to spend a great deal of effort enhancing the presentation
of the game,  so as to appeal to the older users also.  After  the
addition of many new features,  such as the four voice real  digi-
sound  intro,  we feel that we have included enough to  appeal  to
everybody,   whether  it  be  the  satisfaction  of  your   arcade
instincts, or complete visual and audio stimulation.
    In short,  we think we've come up with a simple but  enjoyable
game, with universal appeal. However, this was not easy to do, and
comes as a result of many,many hours of hard work and frustration,
so  if you feel we deserve a donation for our efforts, then please
send  it  to the address  below.   We also welcome any  criticism,
suggestions or correspondence from anybody, but please don't write
if you're interested in piracy, because we aren't !!
   The address to write is as follows :- SEWER SOFTWARE,
                                         P.O. BOX 191,
                                         MODBURY NORTH,
                                         S.A. 5091,
                                         AUSTRALIA.
    This  game  was  originally written as an intro  for  our  new
Fish'n'Chips Demo, then enhanced for release as a separate game. A
modified  version will still be present on the  demo,  along  with
many demo-screens and a couple of playable demos,  so get in touch
if you want a copy. The demo has not been released yet, and a date
has not been finalised, but it should be only another month or so.
    If  anybody reading this is involved with commercial  software
production,  and thinks we have potential to write  games,  please
get in touch because we are open to negotiations.  As you can see,
we have the basis for a very good game, and had we not intended it
for younger users,  it may well have been the next Xenon II (well,
perhaps not !!).  We will be developing more games in the  future,
and  with  the  right incentive,  we think we  can  come  up  with
something pretty good.
    Well, that just about covers everything. We hope you enjoy the
game, and will continue to enjoy all SEWER SOFTWARE products. Keep
watching  for  AQUANAUT II,  coming soon,  but  until  then,  it's
goodbye from SEWER RAT and SEWER SOFTWARE.
