NetherWorld(TM): The Read Me File

Version 1.2.1 (April 6, 1998)
Version 1.2 (September 18, 1997)
Version 1.0 (January 1995)

DESCRIPTION

For centuries, the beast has fed on the souls of mortals who have been tempted by his evil ways. In 2005, all nations of the Earth signed an agreement now known as the "Peace on Earth" treaty. Approval of this document, sparked a virtual end to war and crime on the planet. The beast and his demonic hordes, hungry for souls, are now retaliating, reclaiming what they have lost. We want you to get our people back!

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

* 68020 Processor Minimum. NetherWorld will function on any machine with a '020 processor or greater. To experience NetherWorld the way it is intended, we recommend a 33Mhz 68030 or better. All models of PowerMacs should work fine.
* System 7.x is required.
* At least a 256 Color monitor. NetherWorld will work in thousands or millions, but there may been a significant performance loss. If you start NetherWorld in a video mode other than 256 colors, it will ask if you would like to switch, and make the change for you. It will restore you to the previous setting on exit.
* 2MB RAM free. This information can be found in the Finder, using About this Macintosh..., under the Apple menu. If you do not have enough memory, try closing other applications, or going out and buying more RAM.
* Sound Manager 3.0 is highly recommended.

HINTS AND TIPS

Every time I try to pick up a soul, he turns to hamburger. What am I doing wrong?
Try slowing down a bit.

Whenever I see a demon on the screen, he kills me! Are you guys such jerks that you made the game impossible to win?
Sorry, but the game is quite winnable, I guess that you just really stink at it. You have two distinct advantages against the demons, your speed, and your mini-guns. If a demon gets too close for comfort, just take off. Don't stand around waiting for the demon to jump in front of your guns. Also, if you haven't noticed, guns are ranged weapons, and your range extends well off the screen. Just line them up using your radar, and blast away! They should be dust by the time they are on the screen.

Can I kill the beast?
That's for us to know, and you to find out.

How do I clear the high score list?
You simply drag the file "Hate List", located in the NetherWorld folder to the trash.

Will NetherWorld work with other applications running?
Yes, but it is recommended that you close other applications before running NetherWorld. If you have other applications running in the background, game play may become "choppy".

Will you make a version of NetherWorld to run on my SE?
No, buy a real computer. (Just kidding!) Unfortunately, we will not be making a black and white version of NetherWorld.
