Legal Stuff
-------------------
The only GUARANTEE that comes with this game is that it will
take up disk space. By loading this game, which you are not guaranteed
to be able to do, you take a certain risk, that an overlooked error or
flaw in Cripple Smash's design might cause any NUMBER of malady's to your
system. Cripple Smash could:
(1) Make your system respond only to the ENTER key
(2) Give all of your files the same name
(3) Hijack your modem and call Quebec to download
"HORSE.GIF" in which 2 women perform sexually
deviant acts on a thoroughbred
Of course, this is only a joke, but, should #3 actually take
place, please send a POLAROID of the GIF with a 100 word or less essay
on "Why This Gif Is Not Stimulating." Best entry wins a Polaroid of
"DUCK.GIF"...
-----------------------

Section 1
INTRODUCTION
-------------
Cripple Smash is DOOR program. What this means is that, although
it will run LOCALLY, it was designed to be played by a caller
who was calling your BBS.
=========================================================
As of version .002, Cripple Smash supports:
- Any BBS that can generate the DOOR.SYS drop file.
- Any BBS that can supply BAUDRATE and FIRST/LAST NAME as
command line parameters.
- Any Multinode BBS. Although Cripple Smash has not been
programmed for Simultaneous Play, it will not allow
another player to log in after one has already.
=========================================================
If you are concerned about the violent nature of this game,
don't worry TOO MUCH. We think it's about suitable for anyone
capable of DETERMINING THAT IT IS A JOKE. The programmer is
17, as our most of his Friends. The programmer's 15 year
old brother was able to digest it with no trouble. We would
say your users should be about 13 before they play.
AND NOW, AN INTERMISSION!!!!
STARRING the Happy Hunchbacks!!
============================================================================
Hi! Hi! Hi!
/▒\ /▒\ /▒\ We dance!
/ \ / \ / \
============================================================================
Ho He Hum
We sing!
/▒\ /▒\ /▒\
/ \ / \ / \
============================================================================
Happy /
\▒
/ \ We're The Happy Hunchbacks!!
Yep / \ Definitely
▒\ /▒
/ \ / \
============================================================================
HEY KIDS! Can you spot The Happy Hunchbacks anywhere else in
this Document? There are actually 5 more complete Hunchbacks!
============================================================================

Section 2
GETTING STARTED
-------------------
=============================================================================
Step 1. Decompress DATA.ZIP. This Zip file contains about 150 data files
that are QUITE IMPORTANT to the game. It WILL CRASH if you do not unzip
these files.
Step 2. Run SETUP.EXE. Configure Cripple Smash to your system.
Step 3. Set Up Your Batch File
Your Batch File should:
1. Make the Directory where ALL of the Cripple Smash
files are stored the CURRENT directory.
2. Call SMASH.EXE with the correct parameters. (See Chart)
Chart
==============================================
BBS TYPE : DOOR.SYS
HOW TO CALL: SMASH [path to Door.Sys]\DOOR.SYS
EXAMPLE : SMASH C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
==========================================================
BBS TYPE : Other
HOW TO CALL: SMASH [LOCKED BAUDRATE] FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
EXAMPLE : SMASH 38400 Ben Freeman
EXAMPLE : SMASH 38400 Sysop
EXAMPLE : SMASH 38400 Pete The Alias Man
*** Please note, YOU must use the Locked (DTE) Baud Rate or
the game will, Like, totally Crap Out, you know.
===========================================================
3. Call CATCH.EXE before returning to the BBS. This Program
will CATCH any trash that Cripple Smash might've left
behind.
Step 5. Advanced Installation and a NOTE
ADVANCED INSTALLATION TECHNIQUE: If you want to get your users
interested in playing this game, REAL FAST, offer a patron membership
or some other bonus (1000 free K of Downloads, Nude Photos of Your
Mother, Etc.) for whoever can beat the game first. It's really hard,
and your players should get WEEKS of fun out of it.
NOTE: If your players are mentally handicapped they could spend there
WHOLE LIVES playing this game! Imagine it!!
Step 6. /▒\ Ask Yourself: "Is this a Hunchback?"
/ \
----------------
Section 3
TROUBLESHOOTING
----------------
If Cripple Smash does not work with your system:
o You may not have run SETUP.EXE. Check.
o Your batchfile might not be passing parameters correctly. Check this.
o You may not be passing the file name of your door file. For
openended purposes, Cripple Smash needs the COMPLETE PATH. An example,
to access DOOR.SYS :
SMASH C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
o You may not be letting Cripple Smash have access to SMASHERS.DAT. Make sure
that when Cripple Smash is called, the current directory is the one
containing it.
o You may have forgotten to Unzip DATA.ZIP
o You may be wondering why you even unzipped this @#$*($)*$.
o You may have scrambled your Fat Table accidentally.
o You may be wondering if this will be another joke.
o You may have discovered a new and exciting bug in Cripple Smash's operation.
See Section 5, CONTACTING THE AUTHOR.
o Doesn't this hunchback look like Peter Pan?

NOTE: If you are getting "OTHER PLAYER IS LOGGED ON" messages and you know
this not to be true, Delete OTHER.PLA.

Section 4
Comments
---------------------
Cripple Smash was thought up in August 1991 and has been developed
spordadically over the last year. Dave (Brown) drew up all the ANSI Art
that you see and I got ideas from a lot of people, like my family (hehe)
and my friends.
\/ I'm not a hunchback, but I do have 4 arms.
/▒\
/ \
Cripple Smash does have slightly violent overtones to it, however,
I want to say that no disrespect or ill will is meant towards any
people who actually are cripples. This game deals with stereotypes
and celebrities, but never with any actual PEOPLE! So please, don't
get too upset!! If you can't laugh at "GANGREEN MAN" then why
did you download this in the first place!!
