δg GAME BASICS:
-------------------------------

Just type "sands" and press enter.  You will be asked for your input
method.  After choosing your input method the main title screen will appear.
You should begin in front of a pyramid, and see a black door as well
as a palm-tree. You control movement by clicking on arrows just below the
view-screen with the mouse. To begin the game, enter the door. A Hint, make
sure to look for colored buttons, as you cannot complete areas
with out activating them (by shooting them). Always explore. If you play
right you can beat the game in under 10 minutes, but there are MANY secret
areas you will not be able to find (TRY!) (To save at any point in the
game, click on the top disc drive icon below the view-screen, the enter
a name for your position. To resume this position later, click on the
bottom disc drive icon, and enter the name of the saved position)
To exit the game at any time, hold down shift and hit escape.
Escape alone will start over and bring you to the first area.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. I hope you enjoyed this game. Please send your
comments to me via mail or email, and if I like your idea for an area, or
perhaps a new game, It was a pleasure programming this game, and I hope
you enjoyed my work.
