- Do Not Modify This Text File UNLESS YOU ARE ADDING
- YOUR REGISTRATION NAME & CODE IN THE SPACE ABOVE !
- Don't delete this file again - it REALLY annoys the wasps.
- Bzzz! is designed to run under Windows 95, in a
- screen resolution of 800x600 or higher. There is sound
- available if you have a sound card. You will also need
- a good pointing device (mouse/trackball.)
-
- You may distribute the shareware version of this game
- freely, provided that neither this text file or any
- other components of the game are changed. If you wish to
- include this on any media (e.g. CD's) or on an open FTP
- site, then please contact me via email, so I can ensure
- that you have the most current version.
-
- If you like the game enough to keep it on your computer,
- then you should support shareware by registering. Also,
- Unless you register, you won't be able to go above a
- certain level on PANIC mode!
-
- If you wish to register as an individual, it will cost
- you a measly Ten Pounds Sterling (US $20). I will send
- you a registration code which will personalise the game
- to you (and remove the annoying nag!)
-
- The easiest way to register is via online payment - see
- our web pages for the most up to date information.
-

- INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING BZZZ!
-
- The game can be installed on any drive, although I
- STRONGLY advise you run it from a hard drive. The
- executable (Astra Bzzz!.exe) should be kept with
- the resource directory. The game runs fairly well
- with a P133 (or an overclocked P100), although is
- playable on a 486.

- INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAYING BZZZ!
-
- Bzzz! is a simple game, which appeals to many people.
- You control a frog, living in a pond. The frog has one
- aim - to catch as many flies as possible in a limited
- time. You have to click where you think the fly is going
- to - and it isn't always easy - the flies don't like
- to be eaten !
-
- Minimising the window, or pressing 'p' pauses the game.
- Pressing 'q' quits the current game.
- Pressing ESCAPE quits the program instantly.
-
-
- To assist you, magic butterflies bring you powerups:
-
- Extra accurate tongue
- Stickier tongue (allows you to catch more flies at once)
- Extra long tongue
- Faster tongue
-
- Purple butterflies help you by making it rain....
-
- Multicoloured butterflies give random effects - some good,
- some not so good.....
-
- Popping bubbles gives you various bonuses!
-
- The game is easier to play than to read about !
- Give it a go!
