- Welcome to the world of Door-to-Door sales!
-
- People hate door-to-door salesmen, and some go to extreme lengths to
- make them feel unwelcome. Many salesmen just give up in cases like
- this.
-
- Enter our hero.
-
- Super Sales Acer is determined not to let a few little obstacles stop him.
- He vows to make his sale!
-
- The game.
-
- Super Sales Acer requires a reasonable IBM clone. I've run it on a 4 MHZ
- XT, but it's a tad slow.
-
- You NEED VGA or CGA. I strongly suggest VGA, CGA support is an experimental
- hack. But it runs.
-
- To run the game, enter "SALEACER" at the DOS prompt.
-
- If you have CGA, enter "SALEACER c"
-
- If you have CGA *AND* a slow computer, enter "SALEACER s" - note that
- many graphics will garble more easily, but it'll run faster.
-
- The object of every level is to touch all the special bricks and turn them
- into ordinary ones. Why? Wouldn't be much of a game otherwise. Avoid
- everything that moves... here are the enemies to watch for:
-
- Rat - runs randomly back and forth, can't make up his mind. Likes to nibble
- toes.
-
- Crab - wanders back and forth
-
- Bomb - walks hesitantly towards you, fuse ignites when close. Get away! He
- WILL explode! :)
-
- Trap - large bear traps with sharp teeth waiting for a careless salesman
-
- Crystal - large, pretty, and very sharp. Jump over them.
-
- Icicle - will fall when you get close
-
- Spot - the pet of the home, guarding the door
-
- ---
-
- You can also ride on moving platforms to get where you need to go. often you
- will have to. Stay out of the water and the lava - salesmen don't like
- either one.
-
- If you finish the ninth level (getting past Spot), you make it to the door.
- You'll get some information, too.

-
- Keys:
-
- E = up
- S = left D = right
- X = down
-
- SPACE = jump
-
- Press a movement key ONCE to move - DO NOT hold it down!!
- Press the same key AGAIN to stop.
-
- If you don't like these keys, write me and complain. :)

- Known Bugs
- ---
- -Sometimes pops up on top of platforms you didn't think you could jump up to
- -That's not a bug, that's a feature!! :)
-
- -Graphics sometimes garble when two moving objects overlap (or come close)
- -Yeah. That sucks.
