                             VERSION 1.2

                       BY DAVID BOUCHER © 1991

                 RIPOFFWARE SOFTWARE PRODUCTIONS 1991

                        Written in AMOS Basic

 WHAT'S NEW IN 1.2?
 ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~
   Scrolly now works in AMOS 1.3/1.31,
   High score saved on disk,
   New title screen graphics,
   New title "music",
   High score updated automatically during game.

   If the loaded high score is beaten the program will try to save
the new score to disk upon exiting. If something prevents the score
from being saved e.g. the disk is write protected, a request will be
displayed asking you to retry the save or cancel it. The high score
is saved in the file "SNAKE.HSC" and can be reset be deleting this
file.

 INTRODUCTION
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
   SNAKE! is based on the on the old centipede type game, where you
move around the screen collecting mushrooms and avoiding your tail,
which grows longer with every mushroom you eat. Snake applies a twist
to this idea: instead of collecting mushrooms you collect bombs,
bombs which, if left for too long will explode leaving a hole you can
fall down.
   Control Eric the snake in his quest to collect 100 bombs! good
luck and watch out for that ever growing tail!


 LOADING SNAKE!
 ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
   Simply double-click on the SNAKE! icon and the program will load
and run.


 CONTROLS
 ~~~~~~~~
   Snake is controlled with a joystick in port 2, press fire to
start. In the game, any key pauses and un-pauses, and on the title
screen SHIFT and Q together quits back to WorkBench/CLI.
