Prairie Dog Hunt PRO

Copyright ©1995 Diversions Software

Get ready for the Windows hunting experience of your life...

After a short hiatus from the shareware world, I have decided everyone deserves another shot at...Prairie Dogs !!!

Prairie Dog Hunt PRO is the second sequel to the award winning Prairie Dog Hunt for Windows.

This new version contains a 360 degree viewable area, frame animated Prairie Dogs, a zoomable gun sight, and improved sound effects, all of which add up to the hottest arcade shooter for Windows and Windows95 !

IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST...

Due to the nature of the animation in the game, a powerful PC is recommended for full enjoyment of the game.

If your video card does not support image stretching, you will be notified, and the Scope Zoom feature will be disabled.

A Small Font video driver must be used in order for the game to start.  Consult your video card documentation for information on Small Font drivers.  A 256 color or higher video driver is also a requirement (if everything looks grey, then a 16 color driver is probably loaded).

Game Play

Interface

Prairie Dog Hunt PRO utilizes a very simple gaming interface.  Everything you need is just a click away.

•	To shoot a Prairie Dog, just aim and click the Left Mouse Button.

•	To scroll your point of view, click, hold and drag with the Right Mouse Button.

You will become adept at scrolling and firing at the same time.  Remember to 'lead' the prairie dogs when they are moving fast.

•	To select an object in the playing area click the Left Mouse Button on it.

In the Prairie Dog Hunt PRO world, you will find several objects to click besides just prairie dogs.

•	Click the Beer Cans on the table to Pause the game.

•	Click the Bullets on the table to Reload your .22-250 rifle.

•	Click the Welcome Sign to begin and end game play.

•	Click the Hall of Fame sign to view High Scores (only between games).

Game Style

The game contains 2 styles of play, Timed, and Open Season (Registered version only).

Timed games consist of shooting as many Prairie Dogs as possible, during a set amount of time.  The game will end and High Scores will be added to the high score list when the timer for the round expires.

Open Season is for Monday afternoons in the office.  Unlimited game play, for those times when your aggressions need relieving.  Get some coffee, load up 30 rounds in the clip, and pretend the varmints are your co-workers !  Click on the Welcome Sign to end an Open Season hunting session.

There are a few extra keys to try if you would like to use them, it's OK, it's not really cheating...

Game Options

Click on Settings to open the Settings interface.  From here, you can select the style of game, as well as the amount of ammunition in your clip, the density of Prairie Dogs, and their speed.

Drag the sliders for Dogs, and Speed to adjust the amount accordingly (it's a fuzzy type of adjustment, no values, but you'll get used to it).  The Skill Level Indicator will display the current difficulty level.

Select either Open Season (Registered version only), or Timed Session for the style of game desired .

Select from 10, 20 or 30 rounds of ammunition in your guns' clip (Registered version only).

To begin playing Prairie Dog Hunt PRO, simply click on the Welcome Sign located in the playing area.  Clicking on the Welcome Sign again (while playing), will end a game. The Settings Option is not available during a hunting session (that would be unfair to the poor Prairie Dogs)... you will need to end a game if you wish to change the games settings.

The Shareware Story...

Shareware is software distributed by authors like myself, to fun, game hungry consumers like yourself.  I do so because I enjoy sharing my creations with others.  Sales of fun, destructive, yet, enjoyable software like Prairie Dog Hunt PRO are my source of income.  If you enjoy playing it, go ahead and pay for it.  That way, I can continue to drink caffeine loaded soda, and crank out more titles for the coming years (don't worry, there's some neat stuff headed your way...).   If you don't pay for it, I'm not liable for any Prairie Dogs that invade your neighborhood....  The law also states that if you want to use it for more than 30 days, you have to pay for it...  That's the government for you, but it does allow me to pay my bills...

Benefits of Registering

•	No more sleepless nights afraid that Prairie Dogs will invade your neighborhood.

•	Ammo Clip Size will be enabled, allowing fewer reloads.

•	Open Season will be enabled, allowing you to play for hours, possibly filling the entire screen with tiny dead bodies (please send me screen captures of such events).

•	Cool Potent Weapon availability (namely, a double barrel shotgun).  This will help mow down more dogs in less time.

Prairie Dog Hunt PRO can be registered ONLINE with CompuServe. Just GO SWREG and search for keywords 'Diversions', and 'Prairie Dog Hunt PRO'.  The registration fee will be added to your monthly CompuServe bill.  It's that easy.
