GOAL:  Reproduce the random color sequence generated by the
        computer.

GAME OPTIONS: Presently there are three game types;
        1)  Single board - the color sequence is confined to a 
            single board
        2)  Two boards
                a)  Mixed - the color sequence can range randomly 
                       across either board
                b)  Alternating - Think of this as playing two 
                       independent games in alternation (your score 
                       is the sum of the two games)

You can set the speed of the flashes by adjusting the 
speed bar.  Once you have found a good speed, you can 
store that default speed by choosing save defaults from 
the menu.  This will also save the particular game type 
that you are currently playing.


SCORE:  Your score is the number of rounds that you 
successfully completed.  This is one less than the round 
that you were playing when you missed.

HOW TO PLAY:  Once you have chosen the game type, 
click the on START button.  The computer will respond by 
flashing one of the colors.  Click on that color.  The 
computer will respond by repeating the first color and 
adding another color to the sequence.  Try to reproduce 
the sequence exactly.  When you make a mistake, the 
computer will beep at you.  Your score is reported as 
the last round that you reproduced correctly.  To start 
a new game of the same type, just click on the CONTINUE button.
To start a new game of a different type select OPTIONS to 
change the game type.  After you have selected the game type,
select START from the menu.

PROMPT:  Using the prompt shows you the next color in 
the sequence, but it also subtracts one point from your 
score each time you use it.


LIMITATIONS:  Currently the game is designed to 
allow a maximum sequence of 50 colors within one game.  
If you exceed that, you should stop playing the game and 
apply for work as a memory chip.

REGISTRATION:  You are entitled to play the game 50 times 
before you register it.  After the 50 games are played the 
board goes dead.  At that point you should register it if 
you wish to continue playing it.  By registering the game, 
you can avoid the opening screen and play the game as often 
as you want.  Your board will also show that you have registered
the game.  Send $5US check, cash or money order to

Include your NAME and RETURN ADDRESS so that I can send you 
your registration code and future updates.  Any comments or 
would also be appreciated.  Future versions of the game will 
have a MIGRATING COLORS option;  the four colors will migrate 
to different positions between rounds, but you still have to reproduce 
the correct color sequence.

to a Bulletin Board or archive site, you should do so only 
with the original versions of the files shown above.
