Bugman's Bad Trip

INSTRUCTIONS:
CTRL            =       Jump
ALT             =       Shoot
Space Bar       =       Fire Ball  (takes off Bugman's energy 
				    but kills enemies)
Arrow Keys      =       Move Bugman around

Type 'BUGMAN' to start.

In this side-scrolling arcade game for MS-DOS you lead the amazing
technicolored Bugman (also known as Jeremiah Germ) through a psychedelic
dreamscape, destorying enemy robots and evil planaria with the ultimate 
mission of destroying the infamous mad cell boss.  If you don't do it right,
you are stuck in the never ending world of hell.  Bug hell.  Where you can 
only hope to distract the mindless robots with your wetnoodle dancing and use of
psychedelic flowers.  The game is full of spine tingling sound effects including 
a rockin' sound track by the Ominous Seapods (sampled with permission).

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
For this game to work with sound (it's a LOT cooler with sound!) a MEMORY 
MANAGER must be loaded first (sorry about any inconvenience -- this will 
be fixed in future versions).  The sound works with most sound cards, but 
IF there is a compatibility problem, you might want to try adding this line 
to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

Where 220 = Base I/O Port, I5 = IRQ 5, and D1 = DMA 1  (adjust according 
to your system)

If you are having problems starting the game, try this:
fgdriver.exe    (Loads the graphics driver)
germ.exe /n     (This will force no sound output and should help things.)
							
HOPE YOU ENJOY THE GAME!
