WARI "The Ancient Game of Africa" Version 1.2 May 1, 1994 Copyright (c) 1994, ImagiSOFT, Inc. All rights reserved. If you are having trouble learning Wari, press the F8 Demo key from the opening screen. More rules and strategy are available by pressing the F1 Help key. Wari is easy, you say? You've "beat" the game? Not until you have beaten The Elephant! The Giraffe is child's play; the Lion and Zebra are only average players--the Elephant will consistently beat them by 15 more stones . . . To play The Elephant, you must register Wari. We spent weeks programming The Elephant to use all the winning strategies in Wari: - Move in Hand - The Twist - Flight - Reinforcement - The Grand Slam - Overkill These techniques are explained when you press F1 help. WHAT IS SHAREWARE? Shareware is a beautiful concept that gives you a chance to "try" Wari and other programs before you "buy" them.

We at ImagiSOFT had lots of fun developing Wari, and hope you like it as much as we do. ImagiSOFT's president, Mike Prestwich, discovered Wari on the island of Antigua while on he was on a Caribbean cruise. This game is based largely on "How To Play Warri" ($11.00) by David Chamberlin, 2101 Birchwood Road, Lancaster, PA 17603. Most of Wari's history was gleaned from the informative book "Intelligence Games" by Franco Agostini and Nicola Alberto Decarlo, published by Fireside Books. David Sanders developed many new assembly language routines for Wari; it is his remarkable talent that makes Wari (and our other products) work so well on your computer. Russ Chancellor's extraordinary artwork was drawn by hand on the screen, not scanned, using Deluxe Paint II. Robert Allen composed the music which adds so much to the atmosphere of Wari. Lastly, our quality control staff gave Wari a thorough work out before it was released. Of course, without the financial support of our loyal customers, Wari wouldn't be have been created. We appreciate you most of all!
