ABOUT THE BLOODSTONE

This is a the full commercial version of Mindcraft's Bloodstone. The manual is available on this disc as MANUAL.WRI in a directory called BLOD_DOC off the root of your CD ROM. (That is to say, if your CD is D:, this file may be found in D:\BLOD_DOC.) To print a copy of this manual, open the file in Windows Write (usually found in your Accessories group in Program Manager) and select Print from the File menu. Also under BLOD_DOC are two directories, B_W and COLOR. Each contains a full set of scans of the map included with the original game. The files in B_W are grayscale and the ones in COLOR are in color. (Logical, yes?) The map files are MAP, which is a one-page scan of the whole map, and NE, NW, SE and SW, which are the four quadrants of the map in greater detail. The quadrant maps are better-suited to printing . . . print the ones in B_W if you have a regular laser printer, COLOR if you have a color printer.

For a review of Bloodstone, including a brief walkthrough of the beginning of the game to get you started, choose Features from the main menu or Bloostone from the Hints & Tips menu.
