Information about “VGA SHARKS”
An underwater action arcade game that utilizes unique Artificial
Intelligence, simulation and classic animation techniques to transform
your computer screen into a realistic ocean floor. This the VGA
version of ALIVE SHARKS.
You are the Frogman and your mission is to collect rare marine
creatures and recover lost treasures from the bottom of the sea. Armed
with your trusty stun-gun, you can retreat to your electromagnetic base
that repels sharks and the rest of your dreadful enemies. Your diving
uniform is state-of-the-art, but you can survive only a few shark bites
and it is useless against the poison of the deadly
jellyfish.
This is not your typical "shoot-em-up," "eat-the-dots" kind of game.
Your enemies are crafty and independent and they surround you in clever
formations. When you shoot at them from far away, they are smart enough
to avoid your shot.

WELCOME TO VGA SHARKS 1.0 25-APRIL-1990
This README file contains important, last minute information in
addition to VSHARKS.DOC . It also answers many common questions.
ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A) VGA : This program requires VGA graphics display and a minimum of
384 K of system memory. The program supports the most popular VGA
cards. If your card is not included in the " GRAPH : ..." menu,
you have 2 options: (1) Contact your VGA card manufacturer, and ask
what other VGA card is yours COMPATIBLE with. Or (2) Just try all
selections from the "GRAPH: MENU" until you find one that works
reliably.
B) MOUSE : if you plan to use the mouse, the mouse driver must be
loaded before running VSHARKS. For best results, your mouse driver
should be a recent update, 1988 or later. If you have any problem
with the mouse due to compatibility issues just select the "POINT :
With Keyboard" option from the installation menu. If when you are
using the mouse you run out of desk space, you are not using it
correctly, please read the OPERATION section in VSHARKS.DOC
C) SPECIAL NOTES FOR SHAREWARE VERSION : VGA Sharks presently includes
3 different games: RAYBATS, SHARKS, and KILLER JELLY-FISH. The
Shareware version will only let you play SHARKS, the registered
version will however let you play all three, plus any new games we
have created for VSHARKS.EXE since this README.DOC document was
written.
