- SpinWall is not for sale through retail facilities. It is distributed as
- shareware on an "I trust you" basis and is not in any form to be considered
- public domain or free. Considerable effort went into creating the program and
- I'm retaining full protection under the copyright laws. However, I also want
- you to be able to share my games with your friends. So, please feel free to
- hand on as many copies as you would like, as long as you include the original
- BAT file and all of the document files.
-
- There are no set prices for my games. I leave their value up to you. If you
- are going to use SpinWall for your personal enjoyment, whether you got it from
- a software distributor or a friend, please mail a check to me at the above
- address. Your donation towards each programs creation is appreciated. In
- exchange, I'll add your name to the list of those eligible for updates,
- contests, and additional games. For example, I hope soon to have a joy-stick
- added to many of them. I'd also like your comments and suggestions. If you
- wish, you may use the registration and order form by typing PRINT ACTMENU.REG
- at the DOS prompt.

- Like all of my games, SpinWall is designed for full color with high resolution
- graphics and should run on most PC's and work alikes. SpinWall requires an
- EGA display adapter or a VGA adapter in its EGA mode. There is a provision
- for disabling the game sounds if you prefer the game to play quietly. If you
- have any problems, let me know.
-
- SpinWall is a maze game with a ghost that can walk through the walls that
- match the color of one of the magic keys you can collect. The game starts
- with all of the walls solid. Pressing the "S" key for <S>pin causes the
- corners of the walls to spin at random opening different doorways. Each spin
- costs one of the emerald gems you must collect. After getting a key, the next
- spin causes the walls that match the key to change color. You maneuver
- through the maze of halls and rooms by pressing the cursor keys to change
- direction. The <SPACE> bar causes the ghost to stop. If you collect all six
- keys, or have sufficient score, you may step onto the star (*) in the Winner's
- Circle to register your win. There are bonus gems for scores over 2,000.
-
- You may copy the SpinWall files into any directory on hard disk or another
- floppy. The only real requirement is that all of the files associated with
- the game, except for its BAT file, must be in the same directory. You may
- activate the program directly, with a BAT file, or from ACTMENU,. If you put
- SpinWall on your hard disk, you may have to adapt the BAT file for your system.

- Good luck, and let me know if you enjoy SpinWall,

- P.S. You can disable this message by removing the 'TYPE' and 'PAUSE' entries
- from your personalized BAT file. Please retain the original BAT file if you
- are going to pass SpinWall along.
