    This TXT file is the instruction and hint sheet for Yoshi and the attack of
the Mind-Warping Fingernails! This is the first Yoshi computer game by Kohler
Productions, so, obviously, I'm very excited. The first Kohler ZZT game was
entitled "Kohler's New ZZT Game", and, to be quite honest, does not match up
to the quality of Yoshi's graphics, sound, or play. But still, it was just a
warm-up for Yoshi. In Yoshi, you play a small green dinosaur named Yoshi on a
quest to save his family from Disco Bob and Disco Beth, who have been mind-
warped. By whom were they mind-warped? That will reveal itself along the way.

    Play by myself and early play-testing by others indicate that this game is
"too easy". If it is, then at least it will be fun getting there as the game is
packed with jokes, puzzles and action! If not, let's just say practice helps,
as does finding the solution to the bonus puzzles! If you're looking for a
solution to a puzzle, don't look here! ONLY general hints are in this file.

    If you want to know the mechanics of playing this game, read the help file
inside the ZZT program. It's full of information on how to control the game's
main character and what to do. The only purpose this serves is to give the
storyline and a few hints to help get you started.

    Hints:

         *If the game tells you to do something or not do something, you'd 
          best obey. You can die or get shot by not believing an object.
         *If you think you're trapped, look for a fake wall somewhere. I've
          used fake walls and objects that look like walls in most of my tough 
          puzzles. 
         *If you're STILL stuck, save your game and try something stupid.
          It might break the laws of physics, but then again I never studied
          law!
         *If you're STILL stuck, send me a credit card or a blank check and
          I'll send you a walkthrough.
