- Zoom the super bear is Shareware. What is Shareware? It's a revolutionary
- way of marketing software. Instead of buying an expensive, commercial pro-
- gram, which usually isn't what you wanted, after all, with Shareware, you
- get the chance to `try before you buy'. If you like the program, you pay a
- low fee to the creator. The fee is low because Shareware doesn't include all
- of that fancy wrapping and advertising commercial programs do. It's just the
- pure, unspoiled program.
- When one registers a program, he often recieves such things as bound
- manuals, hint books, sequels, or even bonus games. When you register this
- game in particular, you'll recieve ZOOM ][: ENTER ZIP and the most recent
- update of ZOOM THE SUPER BEAR.

- ITEMS:
- A drop of honey refills your hit points by one point. The big `100'
- floating around gives you one hundred points, and the zoom doll gives Zoom
- an extra life.
-
- MONSTERS:
- The Crabbies move in a set pattern, a diamond. They're pretty easy to get
- rid of.
- The Flaming Turnips, those orange balls with boots and shades, move VERY
- randomly. If you can hit them, they'll die instantly.
- Watch out for Flying Dirt Clods. They get weaker every time you hit them,
- but it takes multiple hits to dispatch them.
- Pretzels are wimps. Just shoot 'em.
- The Polygon, Green takes two hits. After the first one, it gets annoyed
- and starts to chase you.
- The Clouds are as easy to dispatch as the Pretzels.
