 QUICK INSTALL PROCEDURE:
      
      In order to play Gore Galore, you must first copy the zip files
      #1GORE-A.zip and #1GORE-B.zip to a directory called GORE and unzip 
      both files. Make sure that FILES=40 in your config.sys.  To make the 
      GORE directory type:

                             mkdir GORE
                           
      IMPORTANT: Then type:
                             install


      The files and directories will restore themselves automatically.


      Then to play the game type:

                                 GORE

GAME HINTS

1. If you find a door that will not open, then look for a switch on that
   level. The switch will change to open when you get close to it. But
   before you leave the room it is always a good idea to turn around 
   and take a final look to see if it stayed open. Sometimes it will switch
   back closed, they are very old switches and are flaky.

2. If you find a door that needs a key try going back a level to look for the 
   key. The idiot guards leave the keys out in the open and you probably 
   walked right past it.

3. On the first level look for a prisoner, walk up slowly to him so you can 
   release him, he has information that you will need to get out of the 
   prison.

4. On some levels look for rotating red energy plasma balls, these will not
   hurt you, but will give you temporary invincibility to any enemy fire.

5. On water levels swim about and look for land, it's out there somewhere??

6. First aid kits are in all levels, but they are not always so easy to find.
   Save the first aid when you find it, you will need them.

7. If you are getting killed really fast, try saving the game more often. You
   can load the game back to where you were last.

8. That's all the free clues that I'm going to give you, the rest you'll just
   have to figure out on your own.





INSTALLATION HELP:
     
 Memory requirements:

      Gore Galore is a graphics intensive game program that requires 590K 
      of free conventional memory and 2.5 Megabytes of expanded or extended 
      memory. You will need a minimum of 4 Megabytes of ram installed on 
      your motherboard.  Dos 3.3 or higher, (6.0 or higher recommended), a 
      hard drive, and a VGA board are also required. If you do not have 
      enough memory or your system is not configured optimally the game will 
      not start. You will have to follow the following procedures or your DOS 
      manual. 



TROUBLESHOOTING

For DOS 3.3 to 5.0 users:

      If you do not have enough memory to run Gore Galore, consult your DOS 
      manual for instructions on how to free up more memory. If you are 
      using expanded memory, consult your expanded memory manual to configure 
      your system for the amount of memory required.
                                           
For DOS 6.0 and higher users:

        To check the available memory, at the DOS prompt type:
                              MEM        <enter>
      Your computer will display a total listing of all the memory available 
      on your mother board. In the listing you will see a group of three lines 
      as in this example:
         Largest executable program size:       609K     (623616 bytes)
         Largest free upper memory block:       36K       (36848 bytes)
         MS-DOS is resident in high memory area.
      Look at the line which says Largest executable program size.  If this 
      amount is less than 590 K the program my not want to run. If you know 
      how to edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat files remove any TSR's 
      (Terminate and stay resident programs, like DOSSHELL) or device drivers 
      like (ANSI.SYS) to free up memory so that you have the minimum amount of 
      memory required. Dos 6.0 + users may get more memory available by 
      running the DOS utility program MEMMAKER. 

Installing the game:

        Before you can use Gore Galore you must check for a CONFIG.SYS file 
        in the root directory of your hard drive. This file must contain a 
        line that reads "FILES=40" . To check this, at the DOS prompt type 
        the following:
                       TYPE C:\CONFIG.SYS   <enter>
        If this number is not 40 or higher then you can change this number by 
        typing the following:
                       EDIT CONFIG.SYS      <enter>
        If the number is less than 40, move your cursor down to it ans change 
        it to:
                       FILES=40
        Save your changes by chosing FILE-SAVE, and then to exit after saving 
        choose FILE-EXIT. You will now need to reboot your computer by 
        pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Del keys simultaneously.

      
      In order to play Gore Galore, you must first copy the zip files
      #1GORE-A.zip and #1GORE-B.zip to a directory called GORE. To make 
      the GORE directory type:


                             mkdir GORE


       IMPORTANT: Then type:

                             install


      The files and directories will restore themselves automatically.


     Then to play the game type:
                                 GORE


     The game will now start with its opening screens and then its menu 
     screen.  



CREATING A BOOT DISK:
        If you are still having trouble you may want to make a Boot Disk.
        For DOS 5.0 and higher users. Insert a blank high density disk into
        your "A" drive and type:
                        FORMAT A:/S    <enter>
        After formatting the disk, make the "A" drive your current drive, at
        the prompt type:
                        A:              <enter>
        Once you are at the "A:\>" prompt, type the following llines exactly 
        as they are here.
                        COPY CON CONFIG.SYS        <enter>
        The cursor will move to the next line, but you will not get a prompt
        this is normal. Then continue typing the following lines:
                        
                        DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS              <enter>
                        DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2448        <enter>
                        FILES=40                             <enter>
                        BUFFERS=10                           <enter>
                        DOS=HIGH                             <enter>

        Add one of these lines only if you have DOS 6.0 or higher and have 
        compressed your hard drive with MS-DOS. If you are using another
        software companies compression software refer to their manual for the
        lines you will need to add in this file.
              FOR DOS 6.0 TO 6.20 USERS, type:
                       
                   DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS/MOVE        <enter>
              
              FOR DOS 6.22 USERS, type:
                   DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DRVSPACE.SYS/MOVE        <enter>

        Next press the F6 key and then press <enter>
        You will get a message that reads "One file(s) copied". You are now
        done restart the computer, and leave the disk in the drive. The 
        computer will ask you for a date and time and then put you at the 
        "A:\>" prompt.
