- Gopher's Garden 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 Gopher's Garden 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, Garden is designed for full color with high resolution
- displays and should run on most PC's and work alikes. Gopher's Garden is
- compatible with the MDA, CGA, and EGA display adapters. The built in mouse
- support should work for any mouse. If you have any problems, let me know.
- There is a provision for disabling the game sounds if you prefer the game to
- play quietly.
-
-
- Unlike most games, you can't see your opponents in the garden. All you can
- track is the damage being done to the flowers and occasional piles of dirt
- that appear. If you're fast, you can get the gophers before they eat all of
- your flowers. Fortunately, the cursor does let you know when you are on top
- of one so you can hit it with the <SPACE> bar. You can play Garden with a
- mouse but you may get better scores with the cursor keys. The corner keys on
- the number pad will let you go diagonally.
-
-
- If you send me a screen print of what Garden or AxTrons says when you've
- reached the top scoring level, I'll send you a ShareGame disk of your choice
- at shipping and handling cost.
-
-
- You may copy the Gopher's Garden 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 Gopher's Garden on your hard disk, you may have to adapt the BAT file for
- your system.
-
-
-
- Good luck, and let me know if you enjoy Gopher's Garden,
- Chris

-
- 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 Garden along.
