INSTRUCTIONS

                         Shockwave

          The full instructions to this game are in the intro. 
Just leave it running for long enough. This game is licensed to 
NEW AGE PDL and no other can distribute it without prior 
permission from them or the author. I reserve all rights etc etc.
I hope you like this game as it took me over a year to complete. 
OK so I will admit that there were great long periods of time when 
I did very little to it due to my own huge laziness but it was 
still an effort. All programmers know that the hardest part of 
doing a game is the end. When you start you are really interested 
in a project, but as the weeks wear on you start to hate the code 
as little bugs bite you and threaten to drive you mad. In fact I 
did 80% of the code in the first two months (at weekends you know 
as I was studing for A-levels at the time). I then gave up for 
months and started another game (called High Velocity so just 
watch this space). Eventually this second game started driving me 
mad so I went back to Shockwave and completed it. Am I being 
boring yet? Good...
          Greetings to Richard Davey, Colin Watt, Billy Allen,
Steve Spurgeon, Lynx (Rick), and of course New Age PDL!
See you all soon.
