PCjs Machines

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.

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 ALIVE SHARKS     1.0      25-APRIL-1990

   This README file contains important, last minute information in
   addition to SHARKS.DOC . It also answers many common questions.

                        ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

   A) MOUSE :  if you plan to use the  mouse,  the mouse  driver  must be
      loaded before running SHARKS.  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 SHARKS.DOC

   B) EGA :  EGA graphics tend to be slow, so if you your system is not a
      fast one you may want to  try  running the game under CGA graphics.
      ALIVE SHARKS requires 256 K of system memory.

   C) SPECIAL NOTES FOR SHAREWARE VERSION: ALIVE 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  SHARKS.EXE  since this  README.DOC  document  was
      written.
