Section 1: About Exile II
1.1 - About this copy:
This is Exile II, a huge, highly-detailed Shareware fantasy role-playing game for the Macintosh. It features over a hundred towns and dungeons, a huge outdoors, many people to talk to and puzzles to solve, and the promise of hour upon hour of fun and consternation.
1.2 - About Shareware:
This program is being distributed and sold under the Shareware concept. This copy should, when you first receive it, contain a copy of the game, support files and documentation. You should be able to play the first third of the game (the first 2 and a half chapters) with full functionality, enough to get a huge taste of the game and a few weekends of play, at least. Should you then decide you like the game and want to purchase it, you can register (i.e. buy) it. You can find out how to do so by selecting “Register Info” from the starting screen. Also, an order form should have come in the folder with the game.
When you register, by mail or phone, you will be asked for the Registration Code you will be given when you select “Register Info.” In return, you will be given a Key (a five digit number), which you can then enter in the game and play the whole thing.
Upon registration, you will also receive a printout of the documentation.
Should you get stuck, there is also a hint booklet available from Fantasoft for $7.

1.3 - Comments and Bugs:
Any comments and bug reports may be made to the address above. Please do so. We love to hear from you, and any comments can serve to make this game (and possible sequels) better.
1.4 - System Requirements:
Exile II requires a Mac with 256 color Quickdraw, System 7, 2 Megs of free memory, 2.5 Megs of free hard drive space, and a 13” screen. Exile can be played in 16 colors, but the graphics will be very ugly.
