1. Disclaimer of Warranty
-------------------------
THIS SOFTWARE ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO

2. What is 'Mission Supernova, Part 1'?
---------------------------------------
'Mission Supernova, Part 1' (abbreviated to 'MSN 1') is a
mouse-oriented science-fiction VGA graphic-adventure.
You are Walter Bumble, ship's cook of the starship 'Supernova'.
One day you wake up and find out that all the other crew members
have left the ship! To save your life you have to solve some nice
puzzles, speak to aliens -- and be aware of every step you make.
Are you smart enough to make it to the end of 'MSN 1'?
An online manual is available by pressing 'F1' during the game.
3. If there's a 'Part 1' -- where is 'Part 2'?
----------------------------------------------
If you want to, 'MSN 1' will bring you some hours of joy and fun
solving the puzzles and discovering strange places. If you have done
your job well, you might want to play 'MSN 2' to continue your trip
through space. Also, if you got stuck in 'MSN 1', the on-disk help
system that comes together with 'MSN 2' could be of some importance
for you.
But 'MSN 2' is no shareware and available from the publisher Peter
Weber only (address at top of this file). Fill the registration form
REGISTER.TXT, and send it together with the money to the given
address. In a few weeks you'll be able to continue your fantastic
space voyage.
4. System Requirements
----------------------
Hardware: PC 286 (or higher), about 540 KB of free RAM, a hard disk
with 2 MB of free space (during installation about 4 MB!),
a VGA graphic card, and a mouse. SoundBlaster and
compatible sound cards are supported.
Software: MS-DOS 3.3 (or higher). Pure DOS game -- not compatible to
Windows! Never tested on OS/2 systems. Try it and report
to me, please.
5. Detailed Registration Information
------------------------------------
'MSN 1' is shareware. It should be copied and given to anyone who
could be interested in it. If you are a professional, please read the
VENDOR.TXT file for matters concerning distribution.
Let your friends be happy with this game -- even if you don't like it
very much (always a matter of taste). Perhaps they will! If you think
this game is worth a registration, don't hesitate to send the filled
registration form (REGISTER.TXT) and some money to Peter Weber.
The form can be printed by pushing 'F3' during the game.
You'll get 'MSN 2' and an on-disk help system for both parts via
airmail. 'MSN 2' offers even better graphics and a lot of new puzzles
-- some are quite tricky. Due to the complexity of the game, it's
available on a 3.5" 1.44 MB disk only. The registration fee is
- 30 DM (inside Europe) or
- 25 US$ (for those who are far away)
I can accept Eurocheques inside Europe, but I prefer cash. Please
don't send me any stamps, I'm no philatelist and never thought about
becoming one. Also, I am sorry not to be able to accept any credit
cards, but that's life.
The fees include shipping & handling via airmail. I promise to do
my very best to bring 'MSN 2' to you as quick as possible. Really.
6. A Complete File List
-----------------------
I decided to put this piece of information into the VENDOR.TXT file.
Look there if you think that something is missing. Here a brief
summary: If uninstalled, there are four (4) files: An archive (more
than 1 MB), an executable (INSTALL.EXE), and two (2) text files. Yes,
you guessed it, you are just reading one of them. If installed, you
should find 67 files in your directory, taking 1,992,495 bytes,
to be exact.
7. Some Backies & Good Bye
--------------------------
Steffen and Thomas Dingel (yes, they are brothers) originally
designed this game for the German market only. It was quite
successful, and I (Peter Weber) asked them why they didn't translate
it for the English-speaking players. They said "OK, do it!", and
that's what I did. They also asked me to distribute this international
version, because they both have no time.
'Mission Supernova' is now, as well as we know, bug-free and it's
running very stable on various machines. Therefore, Steffen and
Thomas prefer to concentrate on new projects. They already finished a
new adventure, but it's available in German language only. I can tell
you: Stunning graphics, a complex story and *very* difficult puzzles!
It would be a perfect support for anyone who learns German ... but
if 'Mission Supernova' becomes successful outside of Germany, the new
adventure will surely be translated as well. But that's future.
For now, enjoy this fine game, solve its puzzles, and think a bit of
those who had a lot of work to create what you are playing. Bye.
