GAMBLERS AND MONEY GRUBBERS CRAPS G&GCRAPS.EXE Ver 1.0 A Product of HYPERWARE Software 13245 Skiomah Rd. Apple Valley, Ca. 92307 All rights reserved JUNE 1991 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS This program requires an IBM compatible computer (640K) and EGA with 256 k of ram on the card as a minimum. A 286 or 386 computer is best, an 8088 is O.K., better if it runs 8 mhz. Slower CPUs will work, but since this program is graphics intensive, screen updates may be slower than desired. A hard disk is required and a disk caching program will greatly speed file loads. GENERAL This is an interactive, animated CRAPS game. All standard bets are supported except DON'T COME and DON'T PASS bets. Each crap table (there are three included) has an array of different players that take turns rolling the dice. You input your bet choice through pull down menus. The MICROSOFT mouse or compatible is supported for input if desired. Each major bet choice has a help screen associated that may be instantly accessed. These help screens will take you through the entire game and will soon have you making bets like an expert even if you have never played craps before. SET UP Copy all *.zip files to your hard disk. I recommend copying the files to a separate directory of your choice. If your source disk is in A: drive, I recommend the following. 1. make a directory on C: Drive (md GAMBLERS) 2. switch to A: Drive (A:) 3. type "copy *.* c:\gamblers (COPY *.* C:\GAMBLERS) If you want to use a different Drive than C:, just substitute the Drive letter you want to use for C: HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM Before you can use the program you must "unzip" all craps files. This will require the "PKUNZIP" program. Once you have copied all the *.zip files to the dirctory you have chosen for this game, Type the following....... 1. pkunzip craplibs.zip 2. pkunzip g&gcraps.zip Once all the files are "UNZIPPED" the game can be accessed from the initial screen of GAMBLERS AND MONEY GRUBBERS, just choose the CRAPS option. If G&GCPRAS.EXE is being used as a stand alone program, it is started by typing "G&GCRAPS.EXE" from DOS. Once the game is up and running, you will be asked to choose a table to play on. Next you will sign in with your name. If your name is on file from a previous game, you will be asked if you want to start a new game. If so press "Y" or if you want to continue with the previous game press "N". A "Y" answer will prompt the game to ask you how much money you want to start with. An "N" answer will start the game with the same amount of money you had when you finished playing last time. NOTE: Any microsoft compatible mouse will work with this program.

YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED ============================================================================ KNUCKLES.EXE Ver 1.0 Although this game has no socially redeeming value, it may provide some manner of diversion for those predisposed to masochism. The game consists of a sadistic wager maker and a trusting player who apparently doesn't mind doing your bidding. If you think you are lucky enough, place a wager (your money against the trusting players fingers) that the cigarette lighter will light.

It doesn't matter how many times the lighter fails to light as long as it does light the required number of times before the timer runs out. 2. SEQUENTIAL LIGHTS: This option allows you to try to light the lighter the number of times specified without a missing a light. You should adjust your lighter to the best gas height and strike time to minimize chances of a miss light.
