- Welcome to xbill... v2.16 for Wingdows
- For more information about extension packs, read epack.txt
-
- Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're
- a sysadmin, and someone's trying to destroy your comput-
- ers. The little people running around the screen are try-
- ing to infect your computers with Wingdows [TM], a virus
- cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system.
- Your objective is to click the mouse on them, ending their
- potential threat. If one of the people reaches a comput-
- er, it will attempt to replace your operating system with
- the virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the
- screen with your vital software. The game ends when only
- 0 or 1 of your computers is being productive. Additional-
- ly, some computers are connected with network cables.
- When one computer on a network becomes infected, a spark
- will be sent down the cable, and will infect the computer
- on the other end when it reaches there.
-
- Clicking the button on one of the little people will cause
- it to cry out in pain and melt (id software eat your heart
- out!), dropping the stolen os if it is carrying one. If a
- computer is running Wingdows or is temporarily off, the os
- can be dragged back to the computer (or another computer
- compatible with that os). To extinguish a spark drag the
- bucket of water from the upper left corner onto it.
