-
- The object of MicroMan is to move, jump, duck, climb and shoot your way past
- the enemies while exploring new areas and collecting special powerups!
-
- MicroMan, by using WAP, brings the quality of a DOS based game to the Windows
- environment. This release of MicroMan serves the purpose of demonstrating
- the capabiltities and potential of WAP. See the MICROMAN.TXT file for more
- detailed information.
-
- This version of MicroMan is FreeWare. You are free to distribute it as long
- as all files are included in their unmodified forms.

-
- * MICROMAN.EXE
