o WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY
This program is copyrighted and all rights are reserved by the author.
No warranty is expressed or implied with regard to program function, or
suitability to any purpose. The author will not be responsible for any
damages caused by use, misuse, or inability to use this program. The only
exception is, if the program was ordered directly from the author

o SHAREWARE AND SOFTWARE REGISTERING
What is shareware. Shareware is a concept of distributing software, where
you, the user, do not have to pay the author for evaluating the program.
You essentially take the program on a "test drive". If you do not like it
or do not find it useful, you simply discontinue using it (you may pass it
on to someone else to try) and you owe the author nothing. However,
if you do find the software useful and wish to continue using it after
an adequate trial period, you are obligated to register it.
This game is shareware. You may copy and distribute the shareware version
of this game freely as long as you do so with all of the original files
listed below. You are encouraged to pass the program along to your friends.
If you play the game and like it and wish to continue using it, you will
need to register it (refer to the file ORDER.DOC). When you register the
game, you will receive the latest enhanced 'BIG' version of the game with
over 1000 challenging football trivia questions and you will be put on the
mailing list for updates and new program notification. The program
question database will be expanded in the future. Register to become
eligible for updates. Registering also keeps our good company in business
to provide the world with more games like this one.

o INTRODUCTION
Touchdown Trivia is a program that puts your football sports trivia
knowledge to the ultimate test ... on the field. Go head to head with
your sports buddies and see who is the ultimate armchair quarterback.
It's the perfect party game!! Form teams together to answer questions.
It also serves as a perfect tutor, gain knowledge of the sports world
by playing this game.
o INSTALLATION
The program should be installed onto a hard disk for best results.
This is accomplished by copying all files into an appropiate directory.
Use the MD command to make a directory (e.g., MD C:\FOOTBALL). Then
use the COPY command to copy the files into this directory (e.g.,
COPY A:*.* C:\FOOTBALL). If you have difficulties using or
understanding these DOS commands, please consult your DOS manual
or your favorite computer buddy.
o INSTRUCTIONS
The object of the game is to score the most number of points possible
before the end of the game. A score is done in a similar manner as
the real game of football; by scoring a touchdown or kicking a field
goal.
To start the game, go into the DOS directory where the program is
installed (e.g., type CD \FOOTBALL). From this directory, run the
game by typing FOOTBALL. The game will place you in the intro screen
where you have the option to select Play, Options, or Exit.
Select Play by typing 'P' and the program will put you into the play
mode. The Playing Field is drawn in the topmost part of the screen and
a Dialog Window is present in the lower part of the screen. The game
will interact with players through the Dialog Window. Follow the
instructions presented in the dialog window to play the game.
Answer the questions by typing in the number corresponding to the
answer you wish to select.
Note that running plays are more conservative than passing plays.
On the average, you will gain less yardage on a running play than you
would on a passing play, but if the play goes bad, you have a lesser
chance of mishap with a running play (loss of yardage, interception,
and fumble).
If you lose the ball through an interception or fumble, you will
start back at your own 20 yard line. A missed field goal attempt
will also put you back a the 20 yard line.
Select Options from the intro screen to change the play characteristics
of the program. You can modify the number of players from 1 to 4,
change the quarter lengths, or change the penalty times.
Group people together into teams for great party fun.
o SPECIAL KEYS
F10 -- Boss key for those special moments.
ESC -- All purpose back out of situation key.
