Information about “HOGBEAR ADVENTURE GAME”
The next time you are walking, hear laughter, and notice a nearby
mansion, run for your life. If the HOGBEAR lures you in, you have to
face him, a vampire, blue devils, killer bees, an ogre, a bear, pecking
falcons and other perils.
If you are swift, wiser than most, and persistent, you might even
overcome the snake and spider as you roam about the huge mansion. As in
life, some games are unwinnable. But there's hope. This text
adventure/graphics game moves quickly when you learn the knack of
searching and gathering the tools and weapons you need. Otherwise, you
lurch about from room to darkened room, stumbling toward certain doom in
an obscure mansion filled with deadly surprises.
An update of the classic game Castle, HOGBEAR is fun for all ages. It
runs on both color and monochrome systems.

Hogbear is an adventure game fashioned after the
game of CASTLE. We have added what we feel are
interesting twists to the game. The monsters can be
reincarneted at random. If you quit the game without
saving it, when you restart the game all the treasures
and weapons needed to kill the monsters are relocated in
the rooms (the furniture is left, just the ARTICALS are
moved). This can lead to an unwinnable game (Maybe), if
the weapon and monster end up in the same room. If you
are fast enough you might win. Then again you might
not.
Hogbear creates and destroys a file on the disk with
the extension of <.FIL> ie-<FILENAME.FIL>. Be sure to
install Hogbear on its own disk or sub-directory as any
files with the extension of .FIL on Hogbear's disk or
directory will be destroyed also.
We have tested the game for several months using
many testors. We realize that try as we might we may
have left some unforseen anomolies in the game. If you
find a strange or unusual occurence (BUG!!!) while
playing the game leave a message on COMPUSERV
73377,1345 or GENIE k.seal.
Please feel free to place this game , The file HOGBEAR.ARC,
on any bulletin board where you feel others will copy it
and enjoy it.
Thanx a bunch for all your help and GET THE HOGBEAR !!!

WARNING !!!
HOGBEAR CREATES AND DESTROYS A FILE WITH AN EXTENSION OF .FIL"
<FILENAME>.FIL--- IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED HOGBEAR IN A DIRECTORY
OR ON A DISK WHICH HAS FILES WITH THIS EXTENSION, THEY WILL BE
DESTROYED ALSO !!!!!
INSTRUCTION FOR PLAY:
The object of HOGBEAR is to find the "HOGBEAR", learn his secret,
and discover the secret of leaving the HOUSE of HOGBEAR. The
numeric keypad is used to move throughout the house. The arrow
keys will move you in the direction they point (right, left, up,
down). The HOME, END, PgUp, PgDn keys will move you diagonally
within the rooms. As you progress through the various rooms (38
at last reckoning) you need to look all around. There may be
treasures, articals, or weapons hidden anywhere as well as hints,
which are scattered around the house. The function keys can be
used to collect the things you find in the house. Be careful,
you are limited in how much you can carry. If you leave
something in the house you may lose it. The F1 key will give you
a reminder of the purpose of the keys, if you forget. Find the
right object and you can easily carry twice as much.

Some very nasty creatures have taken residence in HOGBEAR MANOR.
They can kill or maim you if you do not have the weapon to
dispatch them. If you don't have any weapons, and you are
very quick, you can sometimes escape their clutches. Some of
them have concocted a vile potion which allows them to return
to life (and stop you dead in your tracks). The only problem is
we don't know which ones or when they will reincarnate.
You can "SAVE" yourself, but if you "QUIT" and return things may
not be as you remember them. Not all games can be won, but then
that's life. Some parts of the manor may not be available to you
if you have not registered with the HOGBEAR. This will not
prevent you from winning with the SHAREWARE VERSION. Your fun
will be greater if the HOGBEAR knows who you are.

A new feature we have added to HOGBEAR-2 is a SAVE as you play
mode. With this feature you can save your status and continue
playing. If you are killed at a later time, you do not have to
start at the beginning, but rather you start at the same place in
the game where you saved it. If you restart the game after dying,
using this feature, and you are killed without saving the game
again, you will start at the beginning. We feel it is a good idea
is to save your status periodically.
A second new feature is "SOUND OFF/ON". With this feature you
can turn the sound off or on as you wish. You simply type
SOUND OFF or SOUND ON, and it will mute or restore the game
sounds.
The HOGBEAR has decided to take a more active role in your progress
through the manor. From time to time he has the ability to take
away a weapon, or some other device, which could kill a monster.
He does not give any warning, and is totally unpredictable. Good
luck, and save as you play.
