- Hello. First off, we'd like to thank you for downloading (or getting
- it using a Shareware Warehouse) this game. Our Development Group (which
- isn't technically a company, but more or less a group of people working
- to entertain some kids around the world) is called StupidSoft. We spent
- about two months creating this game. One little problem in the program
- is in the dialog box that lists the people who made the game. Under
- the ideas list, there is someone called Mark S. That should have been
- Mark Stinocher. We weren't able to figure out how to spell his name at the
- time. Sorry, Mark.
- Also, now, we spent a long time creating this game. Many people
- would ask for money right about now. We don't. We just ask that you send
- us a postcard (of anything, but your hometown would be nice). Send all them
- postcards to:
- Jim Fowler
- 30 Caroletta Court
- Mankato, MN 56001
- Thanks. It'd really make us happy to think that we made someone laugh and
- have some fun. It'd really be great. Thanks. Oh, since we're not making
- any money on this game, we are unable to send you a specialized reigstered
- version (but we might send you the cheat code).
- One other thing that we have to put in here is a disclaimer. Many
- people would get a lawyer to do this for them. We don't. We wrote the below
- disclaimer ourselves. You cannot use the software unless you agree (we hope
- you do, WE REALLY HOPE YOU DO!). Here goes:
-
- Mark Stinocher, Jeb Brown, John Fowler, Matt Markey, Chris Ewert,
- Jim Fowler, Brian Warling, and John Uvegas are not responsible for anything
- that goes wrong with your computer (or you) through your use or unability
- to use correctly The Chicken Game. Some states or places don't let this work,
- so maybe we can't say this to you. BUT! Anything that DOES go wrong is YOUR
- fault, not ours. You didn't have to get this product (but we're glad you
- did). SO! IT'S YOUR FAULT! NOT OURS! Anyhow, thank you. But, we maybe
- can't say whose fault it is...It just matters where you are. So we can't
- blame it on you, maybe. It matters. Thank you.
-
- Okay. Now for the fun part. Now, let's say you just got this program
- and unzipped it (if you don't know how, ask me or someone who does. We can
- be reached at K3457118@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU on Internet). Now, all you have
- to do is put the file called CHICKEN.INI into the Windows directory, and run
- the program! Great! You're on your way to save the world! Oh, also, here's
- the story (short version):
-
- A mad doctor who wants to take over the world turned you into a chicken
- and send you away. Go get him and stop him.
-
- To play the game, all you gotta do is use your arrow keys to move
- the chicken around. Don't get hit! If you do, you'll lose a life and
- have to start over after you lose five. There's also a Hall Of Fame.
- There's also a secret code to go to any level you want. We MIGHT send
- some random people the secret code who register (We might send everyone
- the secret code, we don't know).
- We'd all like to thank everyone again for playing this game. We hope
- that you have as much fun playing it as we did developing it. Thanks.
-
- Sincerely,
- StupidSoft Development Group

-
- P.S. If you've got a friend or know someone or know a BBS and you'd like
- to give this program to them, BY ALL MEANS DO! Give it to everyone you know.
- Give it to all the BBSs. DISTRIBUTE IT EVERYWHERE! But, please do not change
- it at all. Thank you.
