- The idea of a game is to conduct perestroika (restructuring) and
- to survive in adverse conditions that currently exist in the Soviet
- Union. You would have to grab as many material goods as you can, you
- would have to avoid party beuracrauts, etc. .
-
-

-
- To play the game, just issue a command: PERE with a carriage return.
-
- The initial screen will play an old Russian song (nice music!) for
- 15 seconds. There is no way at this time to interrupt the music.
- As soon as the song stops, hit carriage return, and instructions screen
- will come up. The instructions are in Russian (sorry!) and, therefore,
- they are translated and explained here:
-
- A Grey Oval - Laws & Regulations - they change,
- disappear, and new ones would appear in different
- places; you have to use them as a foundation to get
- to the upper right corner;
- Green Frogger - you, the democrat;
- Red Frogger - party beauracraut (to be avoided);
- Blue Ball - consumer goods (scarce!);
- Red Ball - hard currency (even more scarce!);
- Yellow Ball - Progressive Tax (you should avoid this one);
-
- A number in yellow circle - a Milestone of a "Great Perestroika Way".
-
- There are 25 milestones (rounds) to complete. Each consecutive
- round is harder.
-
- Press a carriage return, and the game will start.
- Escape key pauses the game.
- You are given 3 attemts to survive in Soviet Union. If you lose,
- the party beauracrauts (red froggers) perform their little dance,
- expressing their condolences. During this dance, press "1 to conduct
- perestroika again, or "0" if you choose to terminate the game.
-
-
- GOOOOD LUCK! You will need it.
