I would welcome any and all comments you might have.
This game is a freeware product (at least for now), and as such you may distribute it to anyone you like as long as you don't make a profit in doing so. All that I ask is that you include this file along with the game when you transfer it to anyone.
How to play:
There is a help file included with the game, but here are the basics. When you start the game there will be several pictures of various items on the screen. You must click on them to ACQUIRE them. By acquiring the correct items, you will gain points.
But beware, if you click on the "evil eye," the bottle of poison, or the bomb, you will lose points.
This is a civilized game, and you are not shooting anything, just clicking on it to acquire it. There are no explosions, and you don't have to worry about how many "lives" you have left!
Be careful when items overlap, you can't be sure which item you will get if you click where they overlap. Also, be careful about the ghost images left behind after you click on overlapping items. It can be hard to tell if they are good for points or a penalty.
After about 130 seconds, the game is over, and your final score is displayed.
You really need a color Mac for this game. I'm not sure if it even runs in black and white, but if it does, the pictures would not look right. Sorry!
I highly recommend that if you are using System 7 you select the "Hide Others" item from the application menu before you start the game. This will speed up the screen refresh, and make the game much more playable.
