- * WHAT IS IBID? *
-
- Ibid is a challenging arcade and puzzle game. Your goal is to maneuver a
- worm through various obstacles, including your long tail, in search of
- precious diamonds. With every diamond obtained, you are closer to passing
- the level, however your tail also grows longer. If you hit your tail or
- any object on the field, you must start the level over again.
-
- * HOW DO I PLAY? *
-
- In the directory in which you ran the Ibid self-extract file, type "ibid"
- at the dos prompt and press <Enter>. The Birken Software opening screen
- will appear followed by the Ibid introduction. Pressing a key at this
- point will bring you to the Ibid main menu. If you press <P>, your game will
- commence at level one. A screen will appear informing you of the current
- level and it's secret code number. The secret code number can be used to
- prove that you have made it up to the level before. With it, you can skip to
- that level again in the future. Now, you can either press <Enter> to begin
- playing or <Esc> to return to the main menu.
- You can control your worm using the cursor keys or the numerical keypad.
- If you choose to use the numerical keypad, made sure Num Lock is turned off.
- Do not hold down the direction keys. The worm will travel on it's own.
- Peck each direction key as you need to change direction.
- To continue a game from the past, press <C> from the main menu. A colon
- will appear where the continue option was located. Type your level secret
- code in now and press <Enter>. Select play from the main menu and you will
- begin where you left off.
- Speed can be changed by selecting <S> on the main menu. If you have a
- slow computer, select a fast speed. Choose a slow speed if you have a fast
- computer. Speed can also be changed to increase difficulty of the game.
- If you would like to quit Ibid at any time in the game, first crash your
- worm into an obstacle. You will return to the game information screen.
- Record your level's secret code and then press <Esc>. You will now be at the
- main menu. From here press <Q> to quit.
