Why Did The Chicken Cross the Road
The Video Game
Readme File
Hello. First off, we'd like to thank you for downloading (or getting
it using a Shareware Warehouse) this game. Our Development Group (which
isn't technically a company, but more or less a group of people working
to entertain some kids around the world) is called StupidSoft. We spent
about two months creating this game. One little problem in the program
is in the dialog box that lists the people who made the game. Under
the ideas list, there is someone called Mark S. That should have been
Mark Stinocher. We weren't able to figure out how to spell his name at the
time. Sorry, Mark.
Also, now, we spent a long time creating this game. Many people
would ask for money right about now. We don't. We just ask that you send
us a postcard (of anything, but your hometown would be nice). Send all them
postcards to:
Jim Fowler
30 Caroletta Court
Mankato, MN 56001
Thanks. It'd really make us happy to think that we made someone laugh and
have some fun. It'd really be great. Thanks. Oh, since we're not making
any money on this game, we are unable to send you a specialized reigstered
version (but we might send you the cheat code).
One other thing that we have to put in here is a disclaimer. Many
people would get a lawyer to do this for them. We don't. We wrote the below
disclaimer ourselves. You cannot use the software unless you agree (we hope
you do, WE REALLY HOPE YOU DO!). Here goes:
Mark Stinocher, Jeb Brown, John Fowler, Matt Markey, Chris Ewert,
Jim Fowler, Brian Warling, and John Uvegas are not responsible for anything
that goes wrong with your computer (or you) through your use or unability
to use correctly The Chicken Game. Some states or places don't let this work,
so maybe we can't say this to you. BUT! Anything that DOES go wrong is YOUR
fault, not ours. You didn't have to get this product (but we're glad you
did). SO! IT'S YOUR FAULT! NOT OURS! Anyhow, thank you. But, we maybe
can't say whose fault it is...It just matters where you are. So we can't
blame it on you, maybe. It matters. Thank you.
Okay. Now for the fun part. Now, let's say you just got this program
and unzipped it (if you don't know how, ask me or someone who does. We can
be reached at JIMF@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU on Internet or 74367,1722 on CIS).
Now, all you have to do is put the file called CHICKEN.INI into the Windows
directory, and run the program! Great! You're on your way to save the
world! Oh, also, here's the story (short version):
A mad doctor who wants to take over the world turned you into a chicken
and send you away. Go get him and stop him.
To play the game, all you gotta do is use your arrow keys to move
the chicken around. Don't get hit! If you do, you'll lose a life and
have to start over after you lose five. There's also a Hall Of Fame.
There's also a secret code to go to any level you want. We MIGHT send
some random people the secret code who register (We might send everyone
the secret code, we don't know).
We'd all like to thank everyone again for playing this game. We hope
that you have as much fun playing it as we did developing it. Thanks.
Sincerely,
StupidSoft Development Group
P.S. If you've got a friend or know someone or know a BBS and you'd like
to give this program to them, BY ALL MEANS DO! Give it to everyone you know.
Give it to all the BBSs. DISTRIBUTE IT EVERYWHERE! But, please do not
change it at all. Thank you.
