HARDWARE - IBM Compatible, VGA Only
INSTRUCTIONS
SELECTING THE MENU OPTION "INSTRUCTIONS" WILL BE HELPFUL IN LEARNING THE
GAME.
Object of the game is to move around the screen completing three sides of a
box and not being hit by the meanies.
Cover over 50% of the screen and move to the next level.
If you complete a border the box will fill and you are ready to start again.
The cursor keys, keypad, or mouse control direction. Using the keypad has an
advantage since you can stop yourself by pressing the five key. Be careful
because stopping yourself on the red can cost you a life if you are hit while
sitting there. You now may use a mouse if you like. Just move the mouse in
the direction you wish to travel and you will move. Press the left mouse
button to stop your motion. It takes a little time to get used to it.
Reversing direction while on the red playing field zapps you.
Safe area is anywhere except for the red area.
Hitting a mine takes a life.
