 ---------------------------------------------------- GAME STORY -----
    INTRODUCTION
       ...looking down the corridor you see the warm and inviting
    glow of the precious ball of Notrealium.  Abandoning all
    caution, you sprint toward it.  With a click and whine you are
    aware that you have triggered a motion sensitive switch.
    Oh, no!  That sinking feeling manifests itself physically as
    the floor becomes non-existent and you freefall toward a
    lower room.

       As you fall uncontrollably a robot presence becomes
    uncomfortably real and you see it following your descent
    closely.  As you land, and without time to dust yourself off,
    you run frantically for a ladder.  The robot whine surrounds
    you now as he tags you... A foul!

       With one ball left you have one more chance.  Four robots,
    one ball, one human playing for his country.

       Can you solve the structural and mechanical puzzles to
    ensure your country a place in the coming years?  Play Epsilon
    Games 1.1 and find out if you're up to the challenge!...


    DISCOVERY
       One day, a small country called Nonibigea, found that their
    chief product of rare and delicious apples produced an element
    in the soil.  This element, called Notrealium, could be used to
    power matter-transporting devices.

    THE PLAN
       As word spread, many companies and countries began buying
    the supply of Notrealium.  Soon Nonibigea became aware of an
    increasing demand for the Notrealium.  Nonibigea realized that
    at the current rate of consumption and growth that there would
    soon be a shortage.   As a counter-measure, Nonibigea used
    their own funds to host a competition known as Epsilon Games.
    Here the different countries would compete for Notrealium
    through contests which required intellect, skill and strategy.

    IMPLEMENTATION
       Nonibigea set up places called bases, which were measured
    off in sectors and levels.  Each level contained obstacle
    courses with a certain number of Notrealium containers. Because
    some area of the course weren't so readily available, players
    had to use their intellect to solve some physical problems.  To
    keep the player moving, on their toes, and to add to the puzzle
    complexity, Nonibigea placed "off-limit" robots and marker
    blocks in many of the levels.  They programmed some robots to
    try to get as close as possible to the players and the other
    robots to simply move around.  Countries wishing to obtain
    Notrealium were invited to the games and given a chance to
    compete.

    A NICE SUIT
       Each player is equipped with a necessary suit to help
    accomplish the goal.  The suit has special jumping and matter
    transporting capacity which allows the players to move around
    the level and, by using the transport storage device, move the
    level around.

    HERE AND THERE
       Using their matter transporting technology, Nonibigea
    designed in their suit, an Object Transport System (OTS) and an
    Active Transport Inertia Control System (AT-ICS).  The first
    system, OTS, allowed the player to take parts of the level,
    store them in the onboard matter storage area, carry them to a
    different location and reposition them in new configurations.

       The second part of the suit's system, AT-ICS, allows the
    players to jump higher and fall farther than they could
    normally.  This is accomplished by active transporting, which
    is the technique of continuous and active transport of
    materials, such as air and the suit itself.  This ability is
    necessary for the player to perform more physically demanding
    maneuvers,  avoiding the ever persistent robots and navigate
    the levels.

    CONCLUSION
       Epsilon Games is a chance for countries to collect
    Notrealium by using their skill and intellect to solve puzzles
    and overcome obstacles.  The players are free to run around
    discovering and solving while evading robots.  There may be
    several ways to manipulate the levels to accomplish the goal of
    collecting the element.  The solution is up to you!

 =====================================================================
 ----------------------------------------- GAME PLAY DESCRIPTION -----
       Epsilon Games v1.1 is an arcade-style, side view
    action/puzzle game where you must run, jump, dodge, and
    manipulate your surroundings by grabbing pieces of the screen
    size levels and creatively repositioning them.

       Your goal is to collect all the Notrealium in the 30 levels
    included in this game.  To accomplish this goal, you can grab
    pieces of the level, carry the pieces elsewhere, then
    reposition the pieces in configurations which suit your fancy.

       This game has both action and puzzle aspects set
    head-to-head and toe-to-toe.  You must avoid robots while
    jumping around from place to place.  However, in many levels
    "everywhere" is not always readily available.  To get to some
    places in levels, you must determine ways of manipulating your
    environment to facilitate access to previously inaccessible
    areas.  There is more than one way to accomplish this.  The
    player is generally free to resourcefully use pieces of the
    level as tools to get places without touching a robot.

       The levels included in this game come in two sets or "bases"
    of 15 levels each.  One base, base "Praxis," is a basic base
    intended as a warm up introductory base which helps to accustom
    the player to game play and control.  Don't think that just
    because it is a basic base that it is completely easy.  The
    "Praxis" levels, though basic, hold plenty of puzzles and
    challenges.  We recommend that you play base "Praxis" until you
    feel very confident of your Epsilon Gaming skills.  Once you
    feel confident of your Epsilon Gaming skills move on to the
    extra challenging base "Prival" where your new-found skills
    will be tried.  (To change to a different base choose
    "load a new base" from the options menu.)

       This game requires VGA graphics and runs under DOS.  It can
    take advantage of Sound Blaster compatible sound cards and
    supports joystick play.  Each one of the levels fits on one
    screen.  The player, robots, and blocks are fairly small.
    However, this does allow for plenty of play area for each
    level.

       Epsilon Games v1.1 is a completely playable and free game.
    There is a fancier, fuller version of Epsilon Games called
    "Epsilon Games (v2.1) Commercial Version," which you may
    purchase later if you find you would like a richer set of
    pieces, more robot types, and the ability to create your own
    levels.

       The free version of Epsilon Games INCLUDES a demo version
    of the commercial game.  This demo version includes five
    playable demo levels and a one level editor.  Be sure to check
    out the editor.  With the editor you can create, save, load,
    and play your own levels. Personally, I find making levels
    extremely fun.  (To try out the demo, run program EG21D.EXE.)

       Epsilon Games is a game of physical dexterity, mental
    challenge, and resourcefulness where you are free to use your
    creativity and pieces of the levels as tools to solve problems.
    You get all of this rolled up in one on-the-fly action/puzzle
    package.

    * STARTING THE GAME PROGRAM
       To start playing Epsilon Games run the program EG11.EXE.

    * GAME OPTIONS
       Before starting the game you may wish to go to the main
    menu and change some game settings under "options."  To
    enter the options menu use the arrow keys to move the
    selection cursor down to the line labeled "options" and
    push enter.

       Your first option is sound.  Using the cursor keys,
    move down to the sound setting.  Once at the sound setting
    option, (the cursor will be in front of " SOUND : ") press
    the space bar once.  This will change the sound to Sound
    Blaster mode.

       Your second option is using a joystick.  If you would
    like to use the joystick, it needs to be reset.  Move the
    cursor to the "reset joystick" option and press the
    spacebar.  Follow the on-screen instructions for
    initializing the joystick.  Once the joystick is selected,
    you may use the joystick in place of the cursor keys and
    joystick buttons in place of [enter].  If you would like to
    switch between joystick and keyboard mode use the CONTROL
    option.

       Your third option is choosing a base.  This version of
    Epsilon Games comes with two bases, PRAXIS and PRIVAL.
    Base PRAXIS is the recommended base for first time players
    as it eases you into game control and concepts.  Once
    you're comfortable with base PRAXIS, switch to base PRIVAL.
    You will find base PRIVAL more complex, puzzling and
    challenging than base PRAXIS.  To switch bases, use the
    "LOAD A NEW BASE" option.

    * STARTING A NEW GAME
       From the MAIN MENU pick "PLAY GAME" with the enter key.

    * PICKING A LEVEL
       The next thing you will need to do after starting a game
    is select a level.  There are a total of 15 levels from
    which to choose.  The base is divided into three sectors,
    each containing five levels.

       There are two boxes on the "select a level to play"
    screen.  The box on the left, numbered 1 - 5, represents
    the five levels of that sector from which you may choose.
    The box on the right shows what the currently highlighted
    levels looks like.  The current sector is displayed at the
    top of the screen.

       To choose the level on which you wish to start, move the
    level cursor up and down.  Once you decide on a level, move
    the cursor to that level number and press a selection
    button ([space], [enter] or a joystick button).

    * PICKING A START POINT
       After starting a level, and before game play can begin,
    you are prompted to pick a starting position.  You may move
    your player to any non-solid area of the playing field.
    Use the cursor keys or the joystick to move your player to
    the place you would like to start.  Once you have found
    your starting position, press a selection button ([space],
    [enter] or a joystick button) to start game play.

    * GAME CONTROL (navigational)
       If you are using the keyboard to move the player around,
    then you may use either the number pad or the arrow keys to
    move your player up, down, left and right.  To jump, you
    may use the [spacebar] or the [Ins] key.  If you are using
    a joystick, then the joystick will move the player up,
    down, left and right.  Joystick button #2 will make the
    player jump.  (Note: you may switch the functionality of
    button #1 and #2 with a command line parameter, see
    "command line parameters" for more on the topic of
    switching buttons.)

       There are different ways to jump.  A normal press of the
    jump button does a normal full jump.  A quick tap of the
    jump button does only a small jump.  If you push a down
    direction when you jump, the jump will be a longer flatter
    jump.

    * GOALS
       The main goal of the game is to finish all the levels in
    a base before running out of credits.  (More on the topic
    of credits later.)

       To finish a level, you must collect (by touching or
    grabbing) all the blue Notrealium balls.

       A secondary, non-required, goal is to collect all the
    red bonus Giblits on a level.  If you get all the bonus
    Giblits on a level, your bonus Giblit count for that level
    will be doubled.

       It is good to get as many bonus Giblits as possible as
    the more total accumulative bonus Giblits you have
    collected, the better your chances at getting an extra
    credit at the completion of a level.

    * ROBOTS AND FOULS
       Many levels have robots and "off limit" blocks in them.
    You are not allowed to touch a robot or an "off limit"
    block.  If you touch a robot or an "off limit" block, you
    will receive a foul.  Each level allows for two fouls.  On
    the third foul you will receive a "level fault," lose one
    credit, and the level will need to be restarted before you
    can finish it.  The number of fouls you have left is
    represented by blue and white blocks in the bottom display
    directly to the right of the level time.

       When you receive a foul, the game play will stop and
       allow you to pick a restart position.  These restart
    positions are the last few positions you were in recently
    and one choice to totally restart the level.

       To select a restart position, push a left or right
    direction with your controller.  The left direction selects
    older positions and the right direction selects newer
    positions.  Once you have found the position at which you
    wish to start, press a selection button (such as
    [space bar], [enter] or a joystick button).

    * CREDITS
       At the beginning of the game, you are given one credit.
    After you complete a level you automatically get a chance
    of being awarded a bonus credit.  Your chances of getting a
    bonus credit at the end of a level increase with the total
    number of bonus Giblits you have collected over the course
    of the levels.

       Every time you "level fault," a credit is used.  The
    game is over when you do not have any credits left and you
    receive a "level fault."

       It is a very good idea to try and keep your credit
    storehouse full as credits are very important to keep
    playing continuously.

       The number of credits you currently have is shown on the
    main "pick a level screen" in the bottom right hand corner
    of the screen.

    * TOOLS
       Many blocks and pieces on a level can be moved.
    Examples of some things that can moved are ladders, blocks,
    switches, Notrealium and Warp Poles.  You want to move
    things around because moving items around can help you get
    to places that are currently inaccessible, or you may wish
    to adjust the level so the robots have a tougher time
    getting where you are.

       To move a piece, you pick it up, carry it to the spot
    you want and then place the piece into position.

       To pick up a piece, move to a position that is one space
    away from the piece you would like to pick up (you can even
    pick up pieces diagonally).  Once you are one space away
    from the piece you wish to pick up, press the direction of
    the piece you wish to pick up and tap the grab button
    ([Alt], [Ctrl], [Ins] or joystick button #1) with a QUICK
    tap.  A yellow-lined cursor should briefly appear over the
    piece you are grabbing and that piece should disappear from
    the main screen and reappear in the display box at the
    bottom of the screen.  If the piece does not disappear,
    then either the piece is not grabbable or you're holding
    space is full (you may carry up to five pieces at a time).

       To place a piece after grabbing it, move your player to
    a space that is near where you would like to put the piece.
    (You may put a piece up to three spaces away from you in
    any direction.)  Then press and HOLD the grab button
    ([Alt], [Ctrl], [Ins] or joystick button #1).  While
    HOLDING the grab button, a yellow cursor will appear.
    While still HOLDING the grab button, use the direction
    controls to move the cursor to a blank position on the
    screen where you would like to put this piece.  Once the
    cursor is over the spot, release the grab button.  The
    piece will then disappear from your bottom piece display
    and reappear on the screen in place of the cursor.

       The bottom right portion of the screen displays what
    pieces you are currently carrying.  You can carry up to
    five pieces at a time.  The piece on the farthest right
    of the display is the piece that will be placed next.
    When grabbing multiple pieces, the first piece you grab
    will be the first piece that will be placed down, the
    second piece you grab will be the second piece put down and
    so on.

       The moveable pieces in the level are available tools
    which may be used to accomplish your goals.  Resourcefully
    use these pieces in ways that you find helpful.  Not all
    piece types can be moved so watch for pieces that are
    moveable.

    * IN GAME HELP
       Within the game you may press F1 at most any menu screen
    to go to the help menu.  This is a good resource for
    information such as the game piece description list,
    keyboard control key listing, and general instructions.

 =====================================================================
 ----------------------------------- GAME PLAY TIPS AND POINTERS -----
    -MANY, MANY OBJECTS CAN BE PICKED UP,
     CARRIED AND REPOSITIONED ELSEWHERE,
     SUCH AS LADDERS, BLOCKS, WARPS, AND
     SWITCHES.

    -BASICALLY, WHEN USING WARP POLES,
     YOU WILL COME OUT OF A WARP POLE ON
     THE OPPOSITE SIDE YOU WENT IN ON.

    -TO GRAB SOMETHING, PUSH THE CONTROLLER
     IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ITEM YOU WISH
     TO GRAB THEN QUICKLY TAP THE GRAB BUTTON.
     (REMEMBER, THE TAP MUST BE A QUICK ONE.)

    -YOU CAN GRAB ITEMS IN MANY DIRECTIONS
     (EVEN AN ANGLE).

    -TO PLACE A PIECE, YOU MUST PUSH AND HOLD
     THE GRAB BUTTON UNTIL A CURSOR APPEARS.
     ONCE THE CURSOR APPEARS, YOU MAY MOVE THE
     CURSOR TO A BLANK SPOT ON THE SCREEN AND
     THEN RELEASE THE GRAB BUTTON TO PLACE THE
     PIECE AT THIS NEW SPOT.

 =====================================================================
 ---------------------------------- RULES AND THE GAME OBJECTIVE -----
    *GAME OBJECTIVE
      Complete three sectors by collecting all the blue
       Notrealium Balls before running out of credits.

   *RULES
       -A player is given one credit at the start of the game.
       -A credit is used for each "level fault."
       -If no credits are left at a "level fault," the game is
    over.
       -Extra credits may be collected after completing a level.
       -The more bonus Giblit points you collect, the better your
    chances of getting an extra credit.
       -It is a foul to touch a robot or "off limit" blocks (uses
    a foul).
       -You are allowed two fouls per level.
       -If you foul and do not have any fouls left, the level is
    faulted.
       -You may voluntarily use a foul without touching a robot
    by pressing the [F10] button.
       -After a foul you must select, as a restart point, one of
    three previous places you've been or you may opt to
    totally start the level over.
       -Have fun!

 =====================================================================
 --------------------------------------------- ITEM DESCRIPTIONS -----

   * SPACE : empty area.
       This item is nothing.  It is where you can walk or
       potentially put pieces.  It is basically empty space.

   * MOVEABLE BLOCK : a metallic, purple block.
       This solid block may be picked up and carried multiple
       times.

   * ONE MOVE BLOCK : a metallic, green block.
       This solid block may be picked up and carried once.

   * NON-MOVEABLE BLOCK : a metallic, silver block.
       This is a solid block that cannot be moved.

   * SWITCH : a metallic pole with a small square on top.
       If you or a robot pass by this, it will switch the force
       fields on and off. (MAY BE CARRIED)

   * FORCE FIELD ON : a white bracket with a red filling.
       This is a force field in its "on" state.  When the force
       field is on, it is solid.  To toggle the force field off,
       walk by a switch.

   * FORCE FIELD OFF : a white bracket with an empty filling.
       This is a force field in its "off" state.  When the force
       field is off, it is not solid and may be carried.  To toggle
       the force field on, walk by a switch.

   * LADDER : a bright yellow set of vertical, parallel lines.
       You may use a ladder to move up and down.  Stand between the
       two lines and press an up or down direction.  This ladder
       may be picked up and carried multiple times.

   * ONE MOVE LADDER : a dim, yellow set of vert., parallel lines.
       This ladder may be picked up and carried once.

   * NON-MOVEABLE LADDER : a red set of vertical, parallel lines.
       This ladder may not be moved.

   * WARP POLE : a glowing green cylinder.
       This item allows you to jump from one part of the level to
       another (need at least two poles per level).  If you enter a
       warp pole moving to the right, you will come out of a
       different warp pole still moving to the right and vice
       versa.  However, if there are no warp poles with an open
       area on the side you are to exit, it is ineffective. Robots
       may also use warp poles.
       (MAY BE CARRIED)

    * NOTREALIUM : a blue and pink sphere.
    You must collect all of these, by touching or grabbing
    them, in order to complete a level.

    * LOCKED NOTREALIUM : ball of Notrealium surrounded by metal.
    This Notrealium is within a solid metal shell until a robot
    passes over it.  You cannot get to the Notrealium while it
    has its metal shell.  However, you still need to collect
    the Notrealium before the level may be completed.  You may
    need to manipulate your surroundings to redirect a robot to
    this item.

    * BONUS GIBLIT : a red, round object.
    These items give you bonus points when you touch or grab
    them.  If you collect all the Giblits on a level, then your
    bonus point score for that level will be doubled.  The more
    accumulative bonus points you have collected during a game,
    the better your chance will be of getting an extra credit
    at the end of a level.

    * LOCKED GIBLIT : a Giblit surrounded by a round metal shell.
    This Giblit is within a solid metal shell until a robot
    passes over it.  You cannot collect it until it is
    unlocked.

    * OFF LIMITS : a yellow and black striped square.
    It is a foul to touch this block.

    * FUZZBOT : a small, round, yellow fuzzy-looking robot.
    This robot slowly follows along solid objects.  It is a
    foul to touch this robot.

    * HENRY THE ROBOT : a silver, floating robot.
    This clever, persistent and fairly speedy robot chases you
    by first trying to get on the same horizontal level as you,
    and then trying to go straight toward you.  But watch out
    for Henry because it's a foul if you touch him.

 =====================================================================
 ------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NOTES -----
    CAN'T HEAR SOUND
    -------------------------
    If you're having trouble getting the Sound Blaster sound
    setting to work and your sound card has software controlled
    volume levels, all you may need to do to fix the problem is use
    your sound card's volume adjusting program (the DOS version) to
    turn up the main and/or FM volume, before running the game.

    CAN'T GRAB AT AN ANGLE WHEN USING THE KEYBOARD
    -------------------------
    To grab at an angle by using the keyboard, combine two keyboard
    direction buttons together.  For example to grab something to
    the upper-left press up and left TOGETHER.

    Note that some keyboard combinations may not work.  If a
    certain grab combination is not working, try using alternate
    keys.  For instance, you may use the arrow keys OR the number
    key pad as direction keys.

 =====================================================================
 ---------------------------------------------------- WHAT'S NEW -----
    Version 1.1
    -------------------------
    * Improved joystick routines.
    * In the game, selection of keyboard
      or joystick play.
    * A different way of handling fouls
      and restarts.
    * A tile description listing.
    * Extended story text.
    * Improved documentation.
    * An included playable demo version
      of the commercial package.

 =====================================================================
 --------------------------------------- COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS -----
  EPSILON GAMES COMMAND LINE OPTIONS (PARAMETERS):
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       A command line parameter is text typed after the name of the
    executable program file. Command line parameters often affect
    how the program runs.

       For example, the Epsilon Game Executable file is "EG11.EXE".
    To start the program you type "EG11" then hit enter.  If you
    want to use a command line parameter called "BUTTONS.SWAP" then
