 CD-MAN  Pre-release June 89                                           The Game
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The purpose of the game is to clear the screen of dots
while avoiding the nasties.

However by eating one of the pulsating energy pills, the roles are reversed
for a short time and you can gain points by catching the fleeing monsters.

When the screen is cleared you proceed to the next level.

Collect goodies, that appear every now and then, to gain bonus points.

 CD-MAN  Pre-release June 89                                The Highscore Table
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The highscore table shows the ten best scores, the players name and the time
and date the game was played.
It also holds these entries for the last player ( or players if the last game
was a two-player game ).

The highscore table is contained in the file HIGHSC.CDM.
If you want to start over with an empty highscore table you can simply
delete the file and CD-MAN will create a new one with the current
date and time and reasonably low scores.

OBS!  The highscore table will only be saved if you exit the game with the
      QUIT option in the menu!

 CD-MAN  Pre-release June 89                               Pre-release Specials
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

In this pre-release there is an endless life function for testing purposes.

The endless life will only work in one player mode.

At any point during gameplay you can press F1 ( that is the first function key )
to gain endless life, you will still 'die' as usual but the number of lifes
will not be decremented.

If you press F1 a second time you will be mortal again and so on...

There is no way ( exept dying ) to see what mode you are in, so you'll have
to keep track of that yourself.

At the start of a new game endless life is always off.
