PLEASE NOTE THAT ABUSE RULEZ!



ELIMINATION WHIST FOR WINDOWS - VERSION 1.0

REQUIRED:

WINDOWS 3.1
386DX - 25MHz or Higher
4 Megs of RAM / 2 Megs (Maybe?)
640 by 480 resolution mode ONLY (Shareware Version)
2 Megs of hard drive space

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED:

Windows compatible Sound Card


SOUND CONSIDERATIONS:
* NOTE: If you do not have a sound card turn "Sound Off" in the "Options" 
    menu (default is on).
* NOTE: At times you may notice that the players sentences are being cut
    off. This is because the sound is told to stop playing when the animation
    finishes. To correct this try slowing down the animation speed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 - If you are reading these instructions you have already passed
the first phase of installation which is unzipping the file "elim.zip". 

STEP 2 - Start Windows

STEP 3 - Open the Program Manager 

STEP 4 - Click on:  File
                    Run

STEP 5 - In the command line box type:
            a:setup
         
    **  NOTE: "a:" refers to the path (drive & directory) you unzipped 
    the files into. The file "elim.zip" can be unzipped onto one 1.44
    floppy disk. If you have unzipped the files into a directory on your
    hard drive I suggest installing the game in another directory so the
    unzipped files can be deleted easily.

STEP 6 - The setup program will then guide you through the programs
    installation into windows.

STEP 7 - If all goes well (fingers-crossed), the setup program should have
    created a program group for Elimination Whist which includes two icons.
    The program icon, and the Help icon.

                ** THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE **


HOW TO PLAY

    Elimination Whist is a rather simple form of whist but has very subtle 
    strategies. For information on how to play refer to HELP on the menu
    bar of the program or click on the HELP ICON that was created during 
    the installation.

OTHER PROJECTS:

TABLE TALK FOR WINDOWS - This game is along the line of the "HOYLE" series 
    of games. It will contain a variety of card and classic board games 
    (including Elimination Whist). The format will be very similar to
    Elimination Whist, just a wider variety of games to play.

    COMPLETION DATE: Late 1994 (time permitting)

RING LEGENDS - This is no arcade game. It is a serious boxing simulation 
    and encyclopedia. Match famous pugilists of the past against each other
    and find out who really was "The Greatest". No two fights are ever the  
    same. Cuts, injuries, and fouls its all here. A wide variety of prefight
    options include the # of rounds, scoring system, referee tendancies, 
    3 knockdown rule, standing 8, and hometown advantage to name a few.
        There are 4 Play Modes which range from the full blown version which
    takes approx. 15 minutes (12 rounds) to a quick version that takes 
    5 seconds to complete a match. In addition, their are THREE MODES in 
    which you can match the greats of the ring. Exhibition Mode, in which you 
    can match any two fighters you wish in a series of bouts. League Mode, 
    which lets you select a number of fighters (say ten, for top ten) and 
    will keep a running total of the fighters records. Tournament Mode, 
    which allows the user to select a number of fighters who will compete 
    in a tournament. Imagine Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, and 
    Muhammad Ali in a tournament. 
        Who would win? Well, wonder no longer. RING LEGENDS can answer 
    your questions! 
    
    COMPLETION DATE: Late 1994 (Shareware Version)
