You and up to two other players stand only half a chance of making it
home alive in this text adventure, called FALLTHRU!
You don't know how you got to this strange place, but you quickly
discover that Faland is very large, comprising millions of square miles
(all visitable) of farms, rangeland, forests, deserts, mountains, etc.
Much of it is inhabited by dangerous wild animals, renegades,
warriors, and demons.
You and your fellow players must find your way through the trackless
wilderness, while quickly learning to recognize friend and foe, earning
a living, and defending yourself by fist and weapon. And along the way
you must gather information and solve various riddles and puzzles by
talking to shop keepers, strangers, warriors, inn keepers, etc., and by
exploring the many settlements, dark and treacherous caverns,
catacombs, mines, castles and ruins scattered throughout this vast
territory.
FALLTHRU recognizes several hundred words by which you can set your
course, pick up objects, buy and sell things, fight, hunt, shoot, and
speak to the odd characters you and your companions will meet as you try
to go home! Age level: 12 to adult.

Attn: Brian Tuck:
I have updated my game program, FALLTHRU (Disk X6897), and have
included the rewrite on the enclosed diskette. The primary change is
the addition of an upgraded user interface which makes it easy to print
and browse, on screen, the instruction manual. The files FALLTHRU.EXE
and FALLTHRU.OVR have also been changed to incorporate a 'fix' for a
bug found in the material handling procedures and the version number
changed to v 1.01 to reflect these changes. The enclosed disk contains
the following files:
FALLTHRU TXT - This memo.
README FT - The instruction manual.
VIEWDOC EXE - Browse program for viewing ASCII files.
PRNDOC EXE - Print program to print ASCII files.
FALLTHRU EXE - Main program file.
FALLTHRU OVR - Overlay file required by the main program.
VPET EXE - Menu program from which program files may be run.
GO BAT - Batch file permitting GO command to call VPET.EXE.
I hope these changes will not cause any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Paul H. Deal
