 Hello! , this is a small text to explain the functions of the game you got.
 It runs on all ST, STe TT but has been made in OMIKRON 3 then it doesn't
 run on FALCON030(i tried, i have one). If you know how to do to make it run
 or if you know how to get an address to buy a better version of the compiler
 tell it to me please it'll be very cool.

 This game needs 200Ko of memory to run and 2 joysticks !
  (if you understand french, it'll be better for tou to read the french doc too
 because it'll be better explained; sorry but doing docs is sometimes boring).

 Idea of the game:

 the WORMS       : In normal mode has the worm only his head and four circles
                   You move it with all the joysticks directions (with diags)
                   no head can collide another head!
 the 'ANOS'      : these are the circles forming the body of the worm
                   You can found three colors for those:
                   the BROWNS that gives a ANO more (until 20=max)
                   the OPPOSITE-COLOR ANOS that permits to steal an ANO to
                   the opponent (even a detached ANO)
                   the OUR SIDE ANOS you have to conservate if you don't
                   want to lose.
 the MUSHROOMS   : Bad mushrooms, if you eat one you'll have to be amputated
                   (one ANO lost)
 the Bases       : Generally one from each side on the board (it's enough)
                   there's 2 way to use them: you can walk throw to deposit
                   some of your ANOS collected elsewhere (life insurance).
                   the second way is to recupe some of them put in the store.
                   You have to press the trigger to get one back.
 the GOALS       : You can finish the game in three different endings:
                   1st: accumulate 18 ANOS in the bases
                   2nd: eat the opponent until he has no more ANOS in the bases
                   3rd: your dumb opponent moved on a mushroom without any 
                   insurance (no ANOS in the base or not enough to live back).
