   ---------  click.

   --------
   TO START   To start the game just type  QUEST  and press <Enter>

   ----------
   NEW GAME    Then you select which animal you like to become from three
   ----------  Levels of difficulty.

   1. Easy Level:  These animals are Strong or Fast predators and therefore
      they have few or no enemies. In this Level just  follow, your hunting
      instincts. This level is recommended for young children or beginners.
   2. Medium Level :  These animals are mini predators with some enemies
      and competitors, so it takes more logical thinking to stay alive.
   3. Difficult Level : These animals are at the bottom of the Food chain
      and therefore constantly fighting for survival.  Try this Level for a
      real Challenging game.  You are neither strong nor Fast.  Your only
      weapons are your intelligence and your luck.

   5.3                    THE AIM OF THE GAME

   Become one of your favorite animals and try to survive, capture as many
   prey animals as you can while avoiding your predators.  Every time you
   capture an animal you get Energy Tokens ( Calories ) .  When you are
   captured by a predator you loose twenty Energy Tokens, so the only penalty
   is that your final score will not be as high.  You move from West to East.
   When you reach the end of a screen you move to the next one.  There is a
   total of twelve screens to cross.  In the last screen your family will be
   waiting for you and the highest scores are recorded in the Hall Of Fame.

   SCORING :  Your current Score is displayed at the  bottom of the screen.
   The accumulated Energy tokens stack up until you have collected over 60,
   then you are fully Energized and can move Diagonally as well, thus
   suprising your prey or escaping your enemies more easily.

   TIPS :
   (a) Don't overlook the importance of the "skip a turn" option.  Use it
   whenever you are stuck or when any other move will result in your capture.
   To "skip a turn",  for keyboard use: press <Spacebar>, for mouse use:
   click on your animal itself.
   (b) If a predator blocks your path, get close enough, so when it follows
   you, try to lead it away from the path, turn around and escape.  If more
   than one predators are near by, try to distract them one at a time.

   5.5                  ANIMAL QUEST'S  GAME PHILOSOPHY

   (A) Redeeming value: you Play and Learn facts about basic Ecology.
       It encourages exploration of Nature and further reading.
   (B) Positive and Socially responsible:  Depicts Conflict but no Violence.
       You identify with the animal's struggle to survive by selecting any
       animal you wish, except Man (This would defy the purpose of the game)
   (C) Extraordinary use of Graphics and Sound to create the illusion of life.
   (D) Challenges your Logic skills, not your mechanical reflexes.
   (E) A Game for any age:  Select a level according to your capability.

This may well be the greatest collection of software ever compiled.

The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM is our premier collection of the entire
PC-SIG library.  Every shareware program we have is on one disc; over
700 megabytes of software you can have immediate access to.

Easy to use, all you have to do is insert the disc and type 'GO' at the
DOS prompt.  We've included all the tools you need for fast easy access
to the programs and their descriptions.

The WordCruncher text retrieval software allows you to quickly access
the description for any program you want.  All the programs are indexed
by title, filename, PC-SIG disk number, and every word within the
program description.  There couldn't be an easier way to find just the
right program.

The Narc utility, newly instituted with the tenth edition, allows you to
look directly at all the compressed program files on the CD without
having to download the program to your hard disk.  So if you want to
look at the programmer's notes or on-line documentation before using
valuable hard disk space, you can.

The PC-SIG Encyclopedia of Shareware is included on the disk, and a
printed copy of the book is included so you can peruse the available
programs from the comfort of your favorite chair.  All the programs are
logically divided into one-hundred twenty categories making it easier to
find just the right software.

Whether you're interested in Accounting or Windows, there's a shareware
program for you on the PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM.

Winner of the Optical Publishing Assn's Best Consumer Product Award.

"Never before has such a valuable collection of popular shareware been
compiled on one CD-ROM that everyone can afford." Dr. File Finder a.k.a.
Michael Callahan

Finally, 368 of the most useful, popular, important shareware programs
have been put together on one CD. No matter what your need, it's on The
Essential Home & Business Collection.  Everything from Administration to
Windows software is here.

The Essential CD incorporates the WordCruncher text retrieval system.
Every program on the disc is indexed

by title, filename, PC-SIG disk number, and every word in the program
description.  A new utility, Narc, is implemented so you can look at the
program files and the author's on-line documentation without having to
first copy the program to your hard disk.  By using WordCruncher and

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.

Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors.  With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.

For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members.  Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category.  Our library of
shareware contains over 2700 titles divided into 120 logical categories.

Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect.  As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.

PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.

Quality and support - guaranteed.  All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free.  We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.

Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.

Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.

If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.

Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement.  The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.

Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.

Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.

Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.

And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.

Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore.  In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.
