-
- 8) Setup
- -----
- Real simple: Create a directory using any name you desire. Copy
- all files into that directory. Run ULTDICE.EXE. That's it!
- BRUN45.EXE is not required. This is compiled as a stand-alone
- program.
-
- 9) Registration
- -------------
- I know, I know, all software should be free.
-
- Well how about this...we'll make it cheap! For this game, we are
- asking for a registration donation of $10.00. By sending a $10.00
- donation, you will receive that warm fuzzy feeling that we all get when
- we do the right thing, along with a registration key good for all
- future versions of this program.
-
- Why register? Well, we put in a lot of time on our games and utilities
- and ask very little, so if the program gets registrations we update
- it, and if it doesn't, we don't. No matter what though, enjoy this
- game. When you register, you can send the $10.00 to us at
- the address at the top of this documentation.
-
- 10) Instructions for use
- --------------------
-
- If you are planning to print your ULTIMATE DICE documentation you should
- make sure your printer is on-line and ready before beginning.
-
- The object of ULTIMATE DICE is to achieve the best possible score in 30
- turns. This is accomplished by rolling the dice up to four times and
- matching your dice with the scoring options available on the screen.
-
- There are five scoring groups, and six scoring lines within each group.
- You receive the listed points for every successful match. If your dice
- do not meet the scoring qualifications, then you will receive no score
- for that particular line. Also, once used a scoring line cannot be reused.
-
- I hate to make this sound so simplistic, but the game should be self-
- explanatory. If you have never played Yahtzee before, where have you
- been? If you have played Yahtzee, then you will have no problems
- understanding the game.
