Game Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first time you run World Quest, you must configure the game.
Questions will be asked about your hardware abilities. Just follow
through the prompts and fill in the questions. If you don't know which
options to use for the SoundBlaster, refer to your installation software
which came with the SoundBlaster card.
If you select to use a joystick, the main menu options are controlled
by moving the joystick, instead of the arrow keys. Opening and closing
screens can be continued by pressing the joystick button instead of any key
on the keyboard.
Once you have configured the game, the options will not appear again. To
reconfigure the game, delete the file wq.cfg and run it again.
Main Menu
~~~~~~~~~
The menu is so simple that you probably won't need to read this document.
Use the arrow keys (or joystick) to select an option, and hit return
(or press joystick button) to execute the option.
High scores are viewed only from the main menu. To reset the high score
table, delete the file high.sco.
After reading the info on the main menu, select start game to begin
your quest. You must venture around the surface of several planets,
in order to destroy the aliens populating the area. Once you've
secured the planet, your race can begin rebuilding its own cities.

(this game only uses 150 sprites!)
-Fast scrolling in any direction
