===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================

You are Captain Nevarro of the Pirate Ship Odyssey, searching the rich
waters of the Andorian Sea for ancient sunken treasure.  Battle dangerous
sea creatures and fierce pirates who will attempt to send your ship to a
watery grave.  Strengthen your vessel by finding ammunition dumps on
nearby islands.  Avoid the force of the swirling whirlpools and drifting
icebergs, and beware the haunted ghost ship, which is rumored to have
caused many crewmen to leap to their deaths in sheer terror.  If you
think you can collect all ten ancient treasures while outwitting the
dangers of the deep, then man your vessel and sail on in search of
Pirate's Plunder.
