- *** INSTALLING THE GAME ***
-

- decompressed the game. However, to play the game you will need Microsoft
- DirectX 5.0 or better run-time. If you don't have DirectX then you can
- download it from Microsoft @

-
- *** PLAYING THE GAME ***
-
- The goal of Underworld is simple: Stay alive as long as possible and rack up
- as many points as possible. Underworlder is a miner that tunnels through
- potential mining sites while ridding the area of aliens and monsters.
- Underworlder has a single weapon - a grappling pump. The grappling pump fires
- a projectile that injects a creature with compressed air on impact. If you fire
- enough of the grappling-pump projectiles into a creature, that creature will
- explode!
-
- However, the creatures of the game aren't just going to sit around and let
- you do this fire weapons at them.
-
-
- *** THE CREATURES ***
-
- The Puff Dragons are fierce reptilian-based creatures that are not only fast,
- but can expel fire balls through their nostrils, which of course are deadly
- to Underworlder.
-
- The Dyclops are the second foe of Underworlder. These creatures look like
- they are a genetic experiment gone wrong, but don't let their cute facades
- fool you; they are deadly. Their touch alone will cause Underworlder to go
- into anaphylactic shock and die!
-
-
- *** THE RADIATION ***
-
- In addition to being attacked by the monsters of UNDERWORLD. There is also
- high amounts of solar radiation at the surface, hence, you can only stay
- on the surface for a few seconds. There is a RAD (Radiation Absorbed Dose)
- meter on the main display that indicated how manuy RADS Underworlder has
- taken. He can withstand about 600 and then it's curtains, so get underground
- ASAP each level!
-
-
- *** YOUR GOAL ***
-
- Your goal is to run around tunneling and clearing the mining area of all
- Puff Dragons and DyclopsPoo Poos. However, there's a catch... A number
- of unstable rock formations are in the area. When you walk under them, they
- may break loose and crush you -- or one of the creatures -- so be careful!
- Also, you may be able to push the rocks, but be carefull!
-
- To clear a level, you must rid it of all un-authorized life. As the game
- proceeds, you will be transported to different work areas to do your dirty
- work. There are 13 levels to the shareware version that you must complete.
