REDHOOK'S REVENGE Version 1.1 February 1, 1993 Copyright (c) 1993, ImagiSOFT, Inc. All rights reserved. WHAT IS SHAREWARE? Shareware is a beautiful concept that gives you a chance to "try" Redhook's Revenge and other programs before you "buy" them. If you try Redhook's Revenge and continue to use it, please send us the $19.95 registration fee and we will send you the latest Deluxe Version of Redhook's Revenge. BONUS FEATURES IN THE DELUXE VERSION * Two additional players -- Five players in all! Do you dare challenge the fearsome pirate Blackbeard, the most famous pirate who ever lived? Can you beat Poseidon the parrot, who is the most skillful player of all! Playing all five players doubles the number of battles between players, which makes the game far more exciting to play! * Triple the number of questions and game boards! Will you find treasure or death in the Mermaid Isles? Will you find the sunken treasure at Coral Lagoon, or get hung up at Gallows Point? How will you fare attacking the richest port of all, Kingstown, with her 25,000 doubloons on the Golden Isle? How much treasure will you find on Treasure Island? Order and see!

We at ImagiSOFT enjoyed developing Redhook's Revenge, and hope you like it as much as we do. Mike Prestwich researched Redhook, developed the concept, wrote the documentation, and wrote the script. We would like to thank Robert Louis Stevenson, from whom we borrowed generously from his classic work, Treasure Island. Most of the historical information about pirates, ships, weapons, and events came from the books "The Funnel of Gold" by Mendel Peterson, and "The Sack of Panama" and "The Treasure of the Concepcion" by Peter Earle. David Sanders developed many new assembly language routines to program Redhook; it is his remarkable talent that makes Redhook (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 Redhook. Lastly, our quality control staff gave Redhook a thorough work out before it was released. Of course, without the financial support of our loyal customers, Redhook's Revenge wouldn't be have been created. We appreciate you most of all!
