INSTRUCTIONS

GALACTIC.SCK, HUNTING.SCK, and RIVER.SCK were all designed and 
illustrated by my friend Juergen Reichenwallner of Bavaria, 
Germany.  All three of these shoot-'em-ups require any ST/STe in 
low resolution and a joystick in the joystick port (not the 
mouseport).
  
Juergen used a special game-designer program to create these 
games.  This program requires a special disk set-up, as follows:
 
EDITFILE (folder)
     GALACTIC.ALL
     HUNTING.ALL
     RIVER.ALL
     GALACTIC.PC1
     HUNTING.PC1
     RIVER.PC1
     LIBRARY.SFX
(root directory)
GALACTIC.SCK
HUNTING.SCK
RIVER.SCK
RUNGAME.PRG
LOGO.PC1
DESKTOP.INF
 
Set up the root directory and folder files on a floppy disk 
exactly as outlined above.  Then boot your computer from Drive A.  
Double-click on the .SCK file of choice and it will automatically 
load and run.
 
The files deARC to a size that will not fit on a single-sided 
drive.  If your Drive A is single-sided, set up three individual 
disks, making sure to place related game files on their own disk.  
For example, to create a disk with only the HUNTING game on it, 
you'd set up the directory this way:
 
EDITFILE (folder)
     HUNTING.ALL
     HUNTING.PC1
     LIBRARY.SFX
(root directory)
     DESKTOP.INF
     HUNTING.SCK
     LOGO.PC1
     RUNGAME.PRG
 
Although these are all scrolling shoot-'em-ups, each has a 
separate and distinct theme.  GALACTIC concerns space battles, 
HUNTING is a Duck Hunt clone, and RIVER is a rescue mission with 
a military theme.  Hope you enjoy them!
