Thank you for Downloading (or  coming  across
some other way) FEEDING FRENZY!

This is an action game done with the DIRECTOR
from Right Answers Group.

THE OBJECT:

The object  of  the  game  is  for  you,  The
Feeding Frenzy Player, to catch the blood  as
it drops from the spouts above  you.  If  you
fail to do so, the Shark below you will  soon
be whipped up into such a FEEDING FRENZY that
he will jump out of the  pool  and  eat  you.
This of course would be losing the game.  You
can successfully deter the Feeding Frenzy  by
scoring 99 points. This of  course  would  be
winning the game.

OPTIONS :

You have 2 possible difficulty settings: Hard
and Easy. Thats simple enough.

DIRECTIONS :

Control of  Yourself.  You  have  2  possible
directions. Left and Right.  You  move  these
directions by pressing either the < or > key.
These keys are located right above your Space
Bar, to the right. NOT THE ARROW KEYS.

The BLOOD. The blood will fall randomly  from
the 5 spouts above you. How fast it falls and
how often it speed up depends on  your  score
and The difficulty level you  chose.  As  you
catch blood your score  accumulates.  If  the
blood  should  reach  the  shark  pool,   the
Frenz-O-Meter(TM)  will  rise,  getting  ever
closer to a FEEDING FRENZY!

The FISH. Occasionally a fish will fall  from
a spout. If the fish is allowed to fall  into
the   SHARK   pool   it   will   cause    the
FRENZ-O-METER(TM) to fall one degree. This is
because the shark is slightly relieved of his
frenzy by the food. You receive no points for
catching a fish.

The ANVIL. Occasionaly  an  anvil  will  fall
from a spout. It is a good idea to  allow  it
to fall into the pool. If you  do  catch  the
the anvil it will knock you  into  the  shark
pool and end your game. You are not penalized
for the anvil falling into the pool as sharks
are not partial to anvils.

The FRENZ-O-METER (TM) . This is  your  gauge
of just how frenzied that darn shark  is.  If
the Meter should reach the top, the shark has
reached a FEEDING FRENZY and you are about to
be eaten.

The SCORE BOARD. This is pretty obvious,  but
I thought I would mention it because it looks
nice.


Throughout the  game  you  may  begin  asking
yourself these questions:

Why are there spouts dripping  blood  into  a
shark pool?

Why am I standing on little platforms  trying
to catch these drops?

How does the Anvil fit through the spouts?

How did the Anvil  get  there  in  the  first
place?

How did my hair get like that?

How long can he drag out these directions?

How do I quit this game?


The answer  to  these  questions  is  simple:
Thats the way it is. Oh, and by clicking  the
left mouse button.


The Reason:

I wrote this game as a late night inspiration
(Inspiration?).   I   was   working   on   my
forthcoming game, "CATACOMB",  when  about  5
hours of work got erased  by  some  quirk  of
fate. I was quite frustrated with  that  game
when >Whap<. It hit me. The FRENZ-O-METER(TM)
was born.

This   game   is   being    distributed    as
MY-Ware(TM). I am not charging  anything  for
it and hope that you find  hours  (days!)  of
enjoyment out of it. I am keeping all  rights
to the pictures and the program  as  well  as
the game idea  (your  all  jealous,  right?).
Feel free to upload FEEDING FRENZY all  over.
However, please make sure that all the  files
are intact (listed above). This game  can  be
put on a P.D. disks provided  I  am  notified
first and no more than $5.00 is  charged  per
disk.

Finally:

If you would really  like  to  send  me  some
money for this game  I  certainly  would  not
complain. Consider it a  contribution  to  my
"faulty monitor" fund.

If you do send me $5.00 or more  I  will  put
you on the list to receive  my  next  game  ,
CATACOMB, when it is finished. It will  be  a
full graphics adventure  with  animation  and
sound. It will fill one disk. Your $5.00 will
guarantee that you receive a  copy  and  save
you the trouble of downloading  it  and  then
setting it up. Thats really not too bad of  a
deal.

For anything  $10.00  or  over  I  will  also
include the script to these 2 games. It seems
pretty legible to me, but then again, I wrote
it. the  scripts  do  have  plenty  of  notes
though.

I would appreciate any  comments  and  please
let me know if you find  any  bugs.  You  can
reach  me  at  different  BBS's  around   the
country or at my address given at the top  of
this file.

Hope you enjoy the game. Remember : Be on the
look out for CATACOMB. soon to  be  at  BBS's
everywhere!!!!
