Monday 4. October, 1993 The Terror of Mecha Godzilla - The True Story by Fredrik Ramsberg This is a small interactive adventure game for PC's using MS-DOS 5.0. The game was compiled using AM (Adventure Maker(tm)), a product of Milbus Software. After unpacking the game in a directory of its own, this is what you have to do to be able to play it: * Include the name of the directory in the PATH variable declaration in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. * Type RESTART on the last line of your AUTOEXEC.BAT. After having done this, reboot the machine and the game will be available at all times. Please note: You can interrupt gameplay at any time, to do something else in DOS. As long as you don't turn off or reset the computer, the game will always be ready for continuation. If you have trouble running the game, make sure that you have DOS version 5.0 and that you have enough memory space reserved for environment variables. The space reserved can be extended using the MS-DOS command "command /e:nnnnn" when starting the command interpreter in your config.sys. For help on this topic, type HELP COMMAND at a DOS prompt. If you just want to try the game without making changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS: Go to the game directory, start a new command interpreter by typing COMMAND /E:1024 at the prompt. Then start the game with the command RESTART. Stay in the game directory while you are playing. When you don't want to play anymore, type EXIT to leave the new interpreter. Sample sentences that the parser will recognize: (Note that everything must be typed in lower case.) >take gun >shoot at man >show the gun to the man >drop the gun >inventory >i (Short for inventory) >get the gun >ask man about the gun >talk to man about gun >examine gun >x gun (Short for examine gun) >look >l (Short for look) >go east >e (Short for go east) >go out >in (Short for go in) >restart >quit General info This game is a shareware product. You are absolutely free to distribute it to anyone, as long as you don't take a profit from it. However, anyone who enjoys it and decides to keep it should pay a small fee to the author. This fee will encourage him to write more shareware programs in the future. Also, paying the fee is helping to establish this form of distribution, as other programmers may start using it if it works properly. The shareware fee for this program is set to US $10. This may be sent in any way you like to the address below. Thank you!
