DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-----------------------
With shareware distribution users are given a chance to try software
before buying it. If, after trying a Shareware program, you continue
to use it, you are expected to register. Shareware programs
may differ on details -- while some might request registration
others require it.   Often programs specify a maximum trial period.
After registering, you might get anything from current program with
a printed manual to just the right to continue using the software.

The copyright laws that apply to commercial software also apply
to shareware.  The copyright holder retains all rights with a
few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware programmers
are accomplished professionals just like commercial programmers
and their programs are of comparable quality.  There are good and
bad programs produced by commercial and shareware programmers.
Mainly the difference between commercial and shareware software
is how they are distributed.  The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and 
sundry or to a specific group.  For example, some authors require 
written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.

Shareware is not a type of software.  Shareware is a distribution 
method.  Whether it's commercial or Shareware, you should select 
software that suits your needs and finances.  You can fill your 
needs much easier with Shareware because you can try out software
before you buy it.  Shareware prices are low because overhead is low
and Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you 
don't use the software, you don't pay for it.

this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely 
moved from one computer location to another as long as there 
is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's 
being used at another.  Just as a book cannot be read by two 
different persons at the same time.

RULES OF THE GAME
-----------------
	THERE ARE THREE WAYS OF WINNING: 
1.  Get acquitted.  A player is acquitted if all 12 jurors are in
    her/his favor (thumbs up) when landing on the Lance Ito Trial
    tiles (these tiles are immediately before  the Football Hall of 
    Fame).  
2.  By choosing the correct door while at the O.J. Simpson estate.  
    If the player opens the door leading to Mexico he/she immediately
    wins.
3.  In a multi-player game, it is also possible to win by being the 
    last remaining player after the other players have lost.  To win 
    in a one-player game, the player must be acquitted. 


	THERE ARE THREE WAYS OF LOSING:
1.  Get convicted.   A player is convicted if all 12 jurors are 
    against him/her (thumbs down) when landing on the Lance Ito 
    (Trial) tiles.  Once convicted, the player is out of the game.
2.  Go bankrupt.   A player is bankrupt when her/his bank account 
    shows no money.  Once bankrupt, the player is out of the game.
3.  Police Roulette.  A player loses when, following a slow-speed 
    chase,  the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) stops on the 
    tile occupied by that player.   See LAPD tile (below) for more
    information.


  IN A MULTIPLAYER GAME, THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE LOSER.  THERE IS 
  NEVER MORE THAN ONE WINNER.

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

	To start the game, select "NEW GAME" under the "GAME"  menu.
  Players will be prompted to select first the number of players and 
  then their names.   Players will be then identified by both a name 
  and number.   This  number appears on each player's Bronco.   A  
  white Bronco is the mode of transportation for O.J.'s All-American 
  Race to Acquittal.

	Each player begins with $20,000,000 and 12 jurors in his/her
  favor (thumbs up), since you're innocent until proven guilty.  
  During the game,  players will either gain or lose jurors.  The
  maximum number of favorable jurors is 12.  This maximum is never
  exceeded by gains during the game.  A player may also never have 
  more than twelve jurors against him/her.     

	Players take turns rolling dice by clicking the "ROLL DICE" 
  button.  The name of the active player is red.  If a player loses, 
  his/her name is white.  The rest of the players names are black.

	The players move their tokens clockwise, starting at the 
  Football Hall of Fame  in the lower right hand corner.   For
  example, the player advances seven tiles if the sum of the two 
  numbers shown on the dice is seven.  Each turn will cost the player
  $50,000.  Players earn $100,000 each time they move past the 
  Football Hall of Fame tile.

TYPES OF TILES

FREE TILES
	No action occurs when a player lands on a free tile.  The 
  free tiles are ABC's Monday Night Football, Disneyland, Mezzaluna,
  Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Shop, The Dick Van Dyke Show, McDonalds,
  and Town and Country Limousine Service.

MOVE TILES
	A player who lands on a move tile will move forward or 
  backward a specified number of tiles.  These tiles (and the 
  movements they cause) include: the Paul Revere Middle School 
  (forward 4 tiles), Sunglasses (forward 4 tiles), the Smiley-Face 
  (forward 19 spaces to the Football Hall of Fame), Media Blitz 
  (backwards 4 tiles), and the Go Juice Go tile (forward 5 tiles).  
  The player will be instructed to click the Bronco which will then 
  automatically be moved.

MONEY TILES
	The player wins or loses money on these tiles.  These spaces 
  are marked with a dollar sign.  The Hollywood tile is another tile 
  which affects the player's  bank account.

TELEVISION MAGAZINE TILES
	The player loses the support of  jurors when he/she land on
  Hard Copy, Current Affair, Geraldo, or Maury Povich.

EVIDENCE TILES
	The player draws a card from the evidence deck and wins or
  loses the favor of jurors, depending on whether the evidence favors
  the defense or prosecution. 
 
CHARACTER TILES
	The player draws a card from the character deck and wins or 
  loses either money or jurors.

TRIVIA TILES
	The player draws a card from the trivia deck and answers a
  multiple choice question.  The lettered answer which is chosen
  is the lettered answer which is highlighted the next time a
  player lands on a trivia tile.  If answered correctly, 
  the player wins money;  if answered incorrectly, the player
  loses money.

CORNER TILES
        There are four corner tiles:  Football Hall of Fame, the 
  O. J. Simpson Estate, Tattler Tabloid, and LAPD. 

  FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME:  If the player lands on this tile, he/she 
        can win $200,000 to $700,000, depending on how far down field
        O. J. advances.  Each player earns $100,000 each time he/she 
        passes this tile without landing on it.	

  THE O.J. SIMPSON ESTATE:  When a player lands here,  he/she must
        choose one of three doors.  If the door reveals a glass of 
        orange juice, the tile is a free space.  If "Kato the dog" is
        behind the door, the player loses $500,000 (hospital and 
        surgical fees).  The player immediately wins the game if the 
        chosen door leads to Mexico.

  TATTLER TABLOID:  The player landing here will gain or lose jurors,
        depending on the headline.

  LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT (LAPD):  When any player lands on 
        this corner square, a slow-speed chase ensues.  All players 
        risk losing the game if the squad cars stop on their Bronco.
        If the police stop on an unoccupied tile, no player loses and
        the game continues.

SAN ANDREAS FAULT (EARTH QUAKE) 
	When any player lands on this space all players lose 
  $1,000,000.

JURY DELIBERATION TILES
	There are two adjacent jury deliberation tiles.  If the
  player has all 12 jurors in her/his favor when landing on these 
  tiles, she/he is acquitted and wins the game. If the player has all
  12 jurors against her/him, she/he is convicted and is taken out of
  the game.
