                       Invasion of the Dino-Snatchers
                       ------------------------------
Do you love cute little dinosaurs?  Are you sick of cute little dinosaurs?  
Either way, "Invasion of the Dino-Snatchers" is the game for you!  Here's 
the scenario:
 
     America's favorite purple dinosaur is about to be kidnapped by
     alien spaceships.  Your mission (should you choose to accept)
     is to stop the aliens and save the dinosaur.  To aid you in this,
     you are armed with a cannon which can fire weapons to shoot down
     the ships.  It can also launch rescue balloons to catch the
     dinosaur, in case he falls from a ship you shoot down.  For each
     ship you shoot, you are awarded 50 points.  For saving the dinosaur,
     you get 100 points.  If you should "accidently" forget to catch
     the dinosaur, you lose 100 points.  If you "accidently" press the
     wrong button and shoot him by mistake, you lose 50 points.  And if
     somehow, by some terrible mistake you should shoot the rescue balloon
     and drop him safely onto the train tracks... well, that could cost
     you many, many points.  To help you improve your game, the program
     keeps track of the five highest positive (and negative) scores.

The game requires a 386, as it is written in 32-bit C++.  A standard VGA
or better is required for the display.  The game can make use of the
keyboard, or optionally, a joystick.  If a SoundBlaster compatible sound
card is present, the game will use it for playing music and sound effects.

To install the game: 
   1) Create a directory in which the game and its component files will be 
      stored.  
   2) Copy the INVASION.EXE and INSTALL.BAT files to that directory.  
   3) Switch to the newly created directory and type 
            INSTALL
   4) After the install program has run, the game will be extracted from
      the archive, along with many component files, which are placed in
      appropriate subdirectories.  Once the files are extracted, the 
      INVASION.EXE and INSTALL.BAT files may be deleted.
   5) If a sound card is to be used, the SBFMDRV.COM driver supplied with
      the soundcard must be loaded prior to starting the game.  For further
      info on this driver, contact your sound card manufacturer.

     
To start the game, simply type "SNATCHER" and press ENTER.

                             Happy Dino-Soaring...
