- Welcome to Super Hi/Lo! This game is very similar to the old t.v.
- game show 'Card Sharks'. I have taken the original idea, used by a few old,
- outdated doors, and created a fun and enjoyable online game for all. Due
- to the nature of the game, it does require ANSI graphics and color to play.
- When first loading up, you will get the main menu after the welcome
- screens and registration information. The menu will have the following
- options on it:
-
- [P]lay Super Hi/Lo - This takes you to the game itself, very self explantory
- command.
-
- [I]nstructions - This command displays this file.
-
- [T]op Scorers - This will display a list of the top 5 champions this month,
- and the current all time leader.
-
- [Q]uit to BBS - This will take you back to the Bulletin Board System you are
- currently on.
-
-
- The game play is quite simple, there are four rows of cards, you
- start from the bottom and work your way up. You will place a bet, and then
- guess on whether the next card will be higher or lower than the previous one,
- with the cards being ordered in the following fashion (going from lowest to
- highest) :
-
- A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K
-
- The game was written so that the EXACT same card will not be re-picked twice
- during one game. Example : You cannot get two ace of spade's in one game, but
- you could get an ace of spades, and an ace of diamonds. There are a few little
- twists in the game to make it more difficult :
-
- [1] Occasionally you will have the next card be a TIE. This will
- automatically result in you losing 1/4 of your bet. This is
- so , just in case you get an ACE or a KING you wont have a
- 100% SURE thing.
- [2] On the top row, you must bet at LEAST one third of your total
- cash supply. The minimum bet will be displayed while asking
- for your bet.
-
- Please note that the HIGHEST score attainable (per month) is :
-
- $99,999,999,999,999,999
-
- Therefore, If you reach this mark, you will automatically be returned
- to the BBS each time you play the game, until the next month when scores are
- reset.
-
- The high scoring screen is as follows : It will display the current
- all time high scorer, and the 5 high scorers for the current month. This way,
- you can create tournaments quite easily.
-
- Please note that registering the game IS required after a 3 week trial
- period. Registration will make the copy of this software LEGAL after the trial
- period, as well as removing the 5 second delay at the beginning of the game.
- Registration is only $10, which is a fair price for a piece of software such
- as this one.
