Hogbear is an adventure game fashioned after the game of CASTLE. We have
added what we feel are interesting twists to the game. The monsters
can be reincarneted at random. If you quit the game without saving
it, when you restart the game all the treasures and weapons needed
to kill the monsters are relocated in the rooms (the furniture is
left, just the ARTICALS are moved). This can lead to an unwinnable
game (Maybe), if the weapon and monster end up in the same room. If
you are fast enough you might win. Then again you might not.
You have gotten this far. Take a minute to be sure that your disk
contains the following files:

USED BY THE HOGBEAR TO GET THINGS STARTED.
MUST BE IN DIRECTORY OR ON DISK

IF THE EXE AND PIC FILES DO NOT MATCH THIS LIST IN SIZE AND DATE DO
NOT PLAY THE GAME!!!! THE FILES MAY HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND NOW
CONTAIN AN ALIEN AND POSSIBLEY DANGEROUS ELEMENT {VIRUS}. CALL KEN
SEAL 919-739-4207 OR DAVID McINTYRE (WORK) 919-738-7101 OR
(HOME)803-662-4819 AND TELL EITHER OF US WHERE YOU GOT THE INFECTED
COPY AND WHEN. WE WILL ASK YOU TO SEND US THE INFECTED DISK SO WE

HOGBEAR creates and destroys a file on your disk with the extension
.FIL <filename.FIL> . We recomend that you install HOGBEAR on its
own disk or sub-directory where there are no other files with this
same extension, as they will be destroyed also. This game can be played
by only one person per disk or sub-directory at a time. If you let
someone else play your disk, your game progress will be lost.
We have included the file THEFAST.ARC. This is a screen speedup
program created by Ian Davis. You will need an unarchiving program
to create the program and documentation files. You will need to
place this file on a seperate disk as there is not room for it
on this one. The results, particularly on an older PC type are
fantastic, the screen seems to jump at you. Try it you'll like it.
This game is placed in distribution as SHAREWARE. This means if you
play the game and like it we expect you to tell us about it with
MONEY. We ask a modest donation of $10.00 from you to show us that
you appreciate our efforts. We will work harder to produce a better
version "REAL SOON NOW", the more people we hear from. This donation
to our worthy cause will entitle you to one upgrade as soon as it is
finished. If you would like a copy of the complete source code,
send us a blank 5.15 or 3.5 disk and $25.00 and we will send it
right back to you.
We have tested the game for several months using many testors. We
realize that try as we might we may have left some unforseen
anomolies in the game. If you find a strange or unusual occurence
(BUG!!!) while playing the game leave a message on COMPUSERV
73377,1345 or GENIE k.seal.
Please feel free to place this game (in its entirety ) on any bulletin
board where you feel others copy it and enjoy it. That is the purposeof
HOGBRARC.EXE a self-extracting archive file perfect for uploading to a
bulliten board, or passing to a friend.
Thanx a bunch for all your help and GET THE HOGBEAR !!!
