WELCOME TO ANOTHER PROGRAMMING MASTERPIECE BY NONE OTHER THAN atbTOM COOPERatn (NO,
NOT THE REINCARNATION!).~~~ FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG HELLO TO bHUGO FIENNESn
FOR WRITING THE SOUND TRACKER PLAYER (DOESN'T IT SOUND NICE?) AND TO (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)
bBECKYn, cCOLIN Fn, jDANNYn~~, eFOXYn, bNEILn (THE EGO), jSPLINTERn~~, eWOODSYn AND ALL MY OTHER CRITICS
.~~~ IN CASE YOU ARE NOT ALREADY AWARE OF IT... THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF VERY PRETTY TEXT IMMEDIATELY
ABOVE THIS WONDERFUL MESSAGE... IF YOU READ IT YOU MAY NOTICE IT SAYS,'PRESS SPACE'
IF I WAS YOU I WOULD TAKE THIS ADVICE!
     THE WORLD'S GREATEST LEMING SAVERS (SO FAR) ARE :h
    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE SPENT THE LAST SIX MONTHS ON MARS AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED
cLEMINGSn ON THE AMEOBA AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GLORIOUS GAME
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELFARE OF LOTS OF al l l l lnS WHO ARE AT YOUR
BECK AND CALL. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE EITHER BRAIN DEAD OR SUICIDAL (I FORGET WHICH) *** RATHER REMINDS ME OF THE WRITER OF THIS GAME YOU KNOW ***
AND YOU MUST GUIDE THEM PAST MANY FATAL HAZARDS TO THE EXIT DOOR, SOUNDS SIMPLE DOESN'T IT.
IN ORDER TO PROGRESS FROM ONE LEVEL TO THE NEXT YOU MUST SAVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE
OF THE al l l l lnS.~~ IN ORDER TO AVOID THE HAZARDS YOU MAY ASK Aaln(THE NEAREST
ONE TO THE MOUSE POINTER) TO PERFORM A PARTICULAR TASK, THE TASK MAY BE SELECTED
FROM THE ICONS JUST BELOW THE PLAYING AREA. YOU MAY TURN AalnINTO A DIGGER,
PARACHUTIST, CLIMBER, BASHER, BRIDGER, STOPPER, OR MAKE THEM BLOW UP BY SELECTING EXPLODE.
THERE IS AN 8TH ICON 'NUKE' THIS MAY BE A SOURCE OF ENDLESS AMUSEMENT BUT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU
USE IT WITH GREAT CARE, TO USE IT DOUBLE CLICK ON ITS ICON.~~
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN STAY AWAKE ALL THROUGH THIS SCROLL TEXT, THEN FORGET IT
THERE ARE MILES OF THIS THING.~~~~
I FEEL I SHOULD APPOLOGISE FOR MY (MIS)USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, I'M AFRAID *** IT WOULD HELP IF YOU COULD SPELL ***
