- Product: ACLUSL
- Written by Richard Nikula
- Version 2.0 - July, 1993
-
- Thank you for taking the time to look at this game. I am sure that you
- will find it easy to play but at the same time, challenging. This
- game is best described as a cross-breed. It is somewhat like Wheel of
- Fortune, somewhat like Jeopardy, and also like Trivial Pursuit (and
- probably a couple of others that I didn't name).
-
- The goal is simple. Solve a puzzle by guessing the letters that comprise
- it (Ala Wheel of Fortune). However, each puzzle consists of 2 parts: a
- set of related clues; and a solution category (Ala Jeopardy). The clues
- identify the solution with each clue making it more obvious (usually).
- It helps to have a good memory and know a bit of trivia (Ala Trivial
- Pursuit).
-
- This game is best when played competitively with 2 or more players.
- Up to 4 players can play against each other and statistics are maintained
- for number of games, number of puzzles solved, number of clues solved,
- maximum and minimum number of misses, and misses in the current puzzle.
- If playing for dollars, a running total is shown for each player.
- These statistics are reset at the beginning of each game or if the number
- of players is changed in the middle of the game.
-
- The game is distributed with 5 puzzle files. Registered users can
- also get additional puzzles (see registration section). Puzzles
- created by others may also be available to you via bulletin boards or
- shareware services (how you can create your own puzzle files is also
- covered in the registration section).
-
- The game is pretty straight forward and can be played without reading
- these instructions. However, I have tried to provide answers to the
- most common questions so I suggest that you keep this documentation
- handy.
