- Patuman version 1.4
-
-
-
- PREFACE
-
- Patuman is a brilliant graphical action game for Windows. You need AT 286
- (or better) and a display with resolution 640 x 480 (VGA or better). Some
- applications runninf in background mode may slow down the Patuman. You should
- also avoid moving the mouse since this affects the performance of all Windows
- programs.
-
- Ehum!! The previous version of Patuman contained some unfortunate bugs in
- the result file handler, so if you have patuman version 1.0 or 1.1
- please replace them with this version. However, you can use the same
- registration number as in those earlier versions.
-
-
- REGISTERING
-
- We are (very) poor students and we have spent a lot of time programming
- and lost all our (very) little savings buying our software developement
- kit, so we made this version of Patuman a shareware program. This version
- is for evaluation purpose only, and if you find it amusing (or useful), you
- can register it by sending us following register form including $10 cash (or
- 40 FIM). If you send $20 (or more), you will also receive our next version
- of the great Patuman.
-
- It is (very) important to fill the register form carefully. Please include
- an envelope with your address on it to speed up delivery.

- RULES
-
- You are Patuman (the yellow guy) and duty is to collect all the pills in the
- labyrint. When you have eaten all the pills, you will enter another level and
- slightly different labyrint.
-
- Patuman adjusts the speed automatically. You can change the default speed
- and the sound setting from the system menu ( which you can access by
- clicking box in the upper left corner).
-
- You use the arrow keys to move Patuman around in the labyrint. The Monsters,
- bad guys, will try to eat you. In every screen there are also four bigger
- pills. When you eat one of the bigger pills the Monsters will turn to pale
- (white) and you are able to eat them. Eating one monster gives you 200
- points. The second monster during same pill session will give 400 points.
- The third will give 800 and the fourth 1600 points. So its very profitable
- to eat as many monsters as possible. After a few moments Monsters will change
- the color again and they will begin to hunt you again. Time to time different
- objects will appear in the labyrint. Eating them will give you some extra
- points.
-
- You can pause the game by pressing the ALT-key. By pressing the Ctrl-key,
- the game will immediately minimize to an icon.
-
- FUTURE PLANS
-
- We are going to develope Patuman further so you are couraged to inform us
- about the bugs you find, but also about any suggestions to develope game.
- We are already developing some new features like the Surprise Pill, the
- Extra Monster etc. SVGA version supporting resolution of 1024 x 800 with 256
- colors with extended graphics could be an interesting project too.
