NOBEER is a logical adventure game. It's a big one, too, created with
the Gamescape adventure game generation system. The response has been
incredible. If you like adventure gaming, this is a must have! In
NOBEER, the player is an astronaut stranded on a hostile alien planet
(sound familiar? Players of Marooned Again will recognize the character
immediately). The goal: find a way to get to an alien space ship and rig
it to blast off to safety. That's easier said than done; as the
astronaut you will face perils such as deadly slurpers, air squids,
bladderbeasts and the terrible pun palm tree!

Unlike many adventure games, ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO
BEER is completely logical. Everything in the game has a reason (well,
maybe) and everything you do has a purpose (most of the time) and above
all, everything is logical (well, to an alien, anyway). This game is
funny too. Do you know what happens when you eat a frog? Or the only
way to get past an alien monster?  Have you ever tried to munch a
slimeball? Do you know what it feels like when you try to pick up
slime? What does a dead astronaut's head look like? You'll find all
this out in ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO BEER.

Copyright 1989 Dennis Drew.  Distributed as "Try-Then-Buy"(tm) software.

                         ALL USERS!!! IMPORTANT!!!
    The following two lines (with the minimum configurations shown) must 
be in your CONFIG.SYS file on your DOS BOOT disk.  

                            FILES=20
                            BUFFERS=20

    If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file on your DOS BOOT disk, or if it 
does not contain at least the above specs, then you must update your 
CONFIG.SYS file so that it does.   To do this, switch to your main 
boot drive (usually either A: or C:) and then enter the following 
lines EXACTLY:

    COPY CONFIG.SYS + CON CONFIG.SYS (press enter)
    FILES=20 (press enter)
    BUFFERS=20 (press enter)
    (press F6 key)
    (reboot your computer)

    If you are unsure about how to do this, contact your computer dealer.  
This computer file is a STANDARD requirement of most modern computer 
programs and should be present on every computer system.   If you don't 
have a computer dealer then send us a nice donation and we can help you 
with this.

EXTRACTING THE PROGRAMS:
    This is a SELF-EXTRACTING program.  In order to extract it, place the 
NOBEER disk in drive A.  

FLOPPY USERS ENTER:
    NOTE: NOBEER is a very big adventure game.  Floppy users will have to 
unarc NOBEER in sections.  To do so, enter the following commands.  Each will 
unarc part of NOBEER.  The entire package will take appx 2-6 diskettes on 
smaller formats.  Have SIX formatted disks on hand (360K each):
    Even if you have only one floppy, the computer should prompt you to 
insert your destination diskette when required.  Make sure that if you are 
floppy based, your destination diskettes are formatted.  
    ENTER:  FLOPPY
    This program will transfer all the NOBEER files to floppy disk.

HARD DRIVE USERS ENTER:   
         MD C:\NOBEER     (or whatever hard drive)
         NOBEER C:\NOBEER  

TO LOAD ANOTHER LIFELESS PLANET AND ME WITH NO BEER:
    Be sure the programs are extracted first (see above) and that your 
computer has an appropriate CONFIG.SYS file (see also above).
 
FLOPPY DISK USERS:  Insert the disk that contains GSCAPE.EXE in drive A 
(after booting computer with DOS).  Enter:  GSCAPE NOBEER
    Once the program is loaded, you may remove the GSCAPE disk (do 
this before you answer the main screed COLOR question).  The 
GAMESCAPE disk will no longer be needed.  Insert the disk that 
contains NOBEER.GS1 in the drive and follow the GAMESCAPE instructions 
from there.  

HARD DISK USERS:  Switch to the directory where you placed the files (in 
our example, CD C:\NOBEER  ).   Enter  GSCAPE NOBEER

                                SUMMARY
    NOBEER is one of the funniest adventure games you will ever play.  
Unlike some adventure games you may have played, it is LOGICAL.  It was 
designed to be so. 
    NOBEER is a "Try-Then-Buy" program.  Use it.  Once you see how 
valuable it is, please make whatever donation you feel is reasonable.  
Your generous (yea, GENEROUS, that's the ticket...) donations will help me 
stay in business so I can write more programs.  Please do not leave 
donating up to the next guy.  If you like the game, let me know the best 
way possible:  MONEY!  (heh heh)  Praise and comments are also welcome 
additions.
