`4****** `$INTRODUCTION

`7     Welcome to `@Breath Pirates`7, a text adventure written in October 1997
`7 by Mike Snyder of Wichita, Kansas. If you've played this kind of game before,
`7 then you probably won't need much help winning it fairly quick. This is a
`7 small adventure -- my first one in over 7 years -- and I created it to get
`7 familiar with adventure programming again so I can tackle LARGER projects.

`7     If you HAVEN'T played an adventure before, then let me welcome you to
`7 the greatest (and one of the first) computer game concepts... adventures!
`7 Text adventures have also come to be known as "Interactive Fiction." You
`7 won't find high-powered graphics in (most) text adventures. The images come
`7 from the author's ability to weave a picture in your head -- much the way a
`7 book compares to a movie.

`7     In an age of multi-CD Super-VGA masterpieces, created by large teams,
`7 some of the essential elements of adventure gaming have been lost to the
`7 masses. What most people never knew or have forgotten -- but what you are
`7 about to discover -- is that nothing -- NOTHING -- can replace the original
`7 idea that started it all -- they original Text Adventure game!

`4****** `$HOW TO PLAY

`7     You have direct control in a text adventure. Simply type a command and
`7 see if it works. You INTERACT with the game this way. Although there are
`7 standard "commands" you use to play, nearly every adventure adds something
`7 new, or a new command you must figure out to win.

`7     The commands are traditionally a VERB followed by a NOUN. For example,
`7 valid commands might be `0GET KEY `7or `0CLIMB TREE `7or `0EAT WORMS`7. What
`7 you try is up to you, and your imagination is often what leads to success.

`7     Some of the traditional VERB commands include `2GET`7, `2DROP`7, `2LOOK`7, `2EAT`7, `2JUMP`7,
`7 `2CLIMB`7, `2TALK`7, `2OPEN `7and so forth. This is definitely not a complete list,
`7 nor are all of those verbs necessarily used in this game.
