- THE POWER OF THE MIND
-
- You come back home after a hard day. Your friends think you will simply
- eat dinner, watch TV, and go to bed. Little do they know that when you go
- home, you turn into...DINOSORCERER! You, yes, you, oh mighty Dinosorcerer,
- have the power to create any dinosaur you wish! Who knows? Sometimes you
- might even create a dinosaur that actually existed in the distant past!
- You just never know what you might create next!
-
-
- THE POWER OF DINOSORCERER
-
- As the great and powerful Dinosorcerer, create dinosaurs from your Magic
- Vials of mystic dinosaur parts. There are vials labeled HEAD, FORE (legs),
- REAR (legs), TAIL, and BACK.
-
- You have scoured the Cretaceous and Jurassic in search of dinosaur parts
- to fill your Magic Vials. On your way back to the present you even gathered
- up parts of one ice-age mammal. Not even the great Dinosorcerer is perfect!
-
- Not content with the gathering of mere body parts, you have also gathered
- up dinosaur names from near and far.
-
- You have boiled down this interesting hodge-podge of names into a sort
- of "prefix" pasta covered with "suffix" sauce. Mmm . . . Now every time you
- create a dinosaur, you will scoop a unique name out of this Cauldron of
- Mystery and apply it to your prehistoric masterpiece.
-
-
- THE TYPES OF DINOSAURS
-
- You can make two types of dinosaurs: those that waddled around on all
- fours, and those that stood on their hind legs. You can change between these
- two types by pressing [C].
-
- The great scientists assure us this simple distinction is NOT the way THEY
- classify dinosaurs. THEY classify them according to true relationships, such
- as the arrangement of their hip bones, or their ancestry.
-
- Of course, the great Dinosorcerer is not limited by such mundane
- considerations.

-
- HOW TO PRESERVE A DINOSAUR
-
- Press [P] to print out your dinosaur for coloring and display purposes --
- just make sure that you're printing to the right printer! To choose which
- printer you want to print to, type [N] for a New Printer. You can also choose
- which size you wish to print at. If your printer isn't listed, try the Epson
- selection. If that doesn't work, try them all!
-
- Press [S] to save your dinosaur as a picture on disk -- if your disk has
- room on it for a dinosaur, that is!
-
- Press the [F1] key at any time for Help on what keys to press.

-
- THE REAL DINOSAURS
-
- If you happen upon a real dinosaur, you will have a chance to read about
- it and find out all sorts of interesting and informative things. If you print
- the real dinosaur out, the dinosaur's information will be printed as well.
-
- To quit DINOSORCERER, type [ESC] and you will exit back to DOS.
-
- Kids and adults alike will find that DINOSORCERER is both fun and
- educational -- a powerful combination! If you liked Dinosorcerer, you may
