Information
@{UB}

I started writing this game almost one year ago, back in June/July 97, and to be honest it's a project I wish I had never started. It was originally designed to go on three DD floppy disks, but after coding the game on and off for so long, I have decided to quickly fix up a CD `demo' edition. 
True, there are still loads of bugs in the game, but I feel the game is good
enough to be released. It's one of those games I wish I could just quickly
re-program, as the the code is such as mess. I doubt this game will ever get
finished.

There are around 57 levels in the game, each more or less challenging than
the previous level. The idea of the game is to collect nine numbered coins, and if you collide with yourself, hit a wall or make contact with the border then you will have to restart the level.

Items to collect
@{UB}
to help you complete the levels there are various `bonus' coins, which allow your snake to do various things. These are:

`Through yourself'  :   You do not die if you make contact with yourself.

`No border mode'    :   Allows you to go out of the screen and reappear at
                        the other side.

`Medical coin'      :   If you have collected this coin, and die, you will                         start at the coin you last failed to collect.

`Total control'     :   Stops your snake from constantly moving. You can
                        fully control the snakes direction for a limited
                        time only.

`Beer coin'         :   Your controls are reversed if you collect this coin,
                        so don't collect it!

`Bad pill'          :   It's instant death if you collect this poison pill!
                        start at the coin you
