 This software can be copied, provided
no charge is made except for media and
a reasonable fee for copying and this
text file remains with the program.

======================================

 This game is  based on a very similar
game for the IBM PC running Windows.
 This  version only runs in Lo-Res due
to the number of colours required. You
can start up in medium rez, Bang! will
change to Lo-res to play and back to
medium rez afterwards.

Rules of play
-------------

 The  idea  of  the  game is  to  mark
the  position  of   mines  on  a  grid
without  uncovering  them. The size of
the grid varies depending on the level
of  play, as  does the number of mines
to  be  found.  The   game  is  played
against the clock  (displayed top left
of  the grid).  The game finishes when
either you uncover a mine, or you have
correctly  marked all the mines in the
grid. 

What to press
-------------

 The game is totally mouse controlled,
however, pressing ESC at any time will
end the current game.

 At the start  screen select the level
you want to play at by clicking on the
appropriate   level  button  with  the
pointer. Then select PLAY and click.

The  grid is  now displayed. There are
2 counters on  the display. The one on
the  right  is  the  time  elapsed  in
seconds. On the  left is the number of
mines which need to be marked. If this
is  negative you have placed  too many
marks!

 Click on the Smilie to start the game
and the timer. You can now click with
the left button on the grid and one or
more squares will be displayed. The
number in a square is how many mines 
are in the 8 squares touching it. If a
mine is displayed, it's game over! To
mark a square click with the right 
button, and the square will turn red
to indicate a mark. Click the right
button again and the square will flash
to mark an 'unsure'. A third click
will unmark the square. Pressing HELP
will display a square which does NOT
contain a mine - this 'costs' 2 seconds
but can be worth it !

NOTE: Marked squares cannot be
      uncovered but unsures can.

Happy Exploding !!!
