Version 0.5 (Alpha Test) April 9, 1993 Howdy! Welcome to Zanti! This is a Windows 3.x game that requires you to visiualize a path and think ahead! The object of the game is to guide the Zanti invaders along the garden path until they reach the edge of the game board. If they do, then the earth's military will wipe them out, and you win the game! If the Zantis get off the path because they reach the end before you can get an appropriate piece in place, or you get a wrong piece in place, or the path ends in a piece you can't change (such as a piece that they have already taken), or you run into their ship, you loose! (1) Watch the ship closely to see which side the Zantis will come out! You will see the hatch open about 7 seconds before they emerge! (2) Any time that you try to replace an existing piece, you must wait about a second for the operation to complete... so try to put them in the right place with the first try! Notice also that the score you get is based on how many pieces the Zantis cross before reaching the edge of the board (that is, how long the game lasts). The longer you keep the game going, the more points you get! This requires, however, that you place the pieces cunningly, so that there is plenty of space for more path pieces, and then to get the Zantis off of the board! Lastly, you can place the game on "hold" with the Hold button, and while on hold you can adjust the speed of the Zandis marching. BY THE WAY... make sure that zanti.scr is in the same directory as Zanti...to keep the scores!!!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is an "Alpha" release, meaning that there may be bugs, and there isn't any sound yet.
