ARIO BROS BY: DAVID TRETTER 1983

        THIS GAME CLOSELY FOLLOWS THE ARCADE GAME AFTER WHICH IT IS MADE.  IT
WILL RUN ON BOTH COLOR AND MONO SYSTEMS, WITH JOYSTICK OR KEYBOARD CONTROLS. 
THE FIRST LEVELS ARE VERY SLOW, BUT IT GETS FASTER.  IF YOU FIND ANY BUGS, CALL
DAVID TRETTER AT (301) 622-3976. NOTE:THIS GAME SHOULD BE COMPILED.

        OBJECT: TO GET POINTS WHILE KEEPING THE PLUMBING CLEAR OF PESTS.

        FOR KEYBOARD CONTROLS, YOU USE THE ASD KEYS TO MOVE AND THE SPC TO
JUMP.  ON THE JOYSTICK, THE BUTTONS JUMP.  YOU TEMPORARILY FREEZE PESTS BY
JUMPING UP AND HITTING THE LEDGE RIGHT UNDER THEM.  THEN JUST RUN UP AND GET
THEM.  THE SECOND GROUP OF PESTS NEEDS TO BE HIT TWICE, WHILE THE THIRD GROUP
JUMP.  AFTER YOU GET A PEST, A SMALL COIN WILL APPEAR.  GET THE COIN FOR
POINTS.  THE BOX ON THE SCREEN IS CALLED POW.  WHEN YOU HIT IT, IT IS LIKE YOU
JUMPED UP AND HIT THE WHOLE SCREEN AT ONCE.  THE PESTS FREEZE, AND YOU GET
THEM.  THE POW GETS SMALLER EACH TIME, SO DON'T WASTE IT.  THE FIREBALL KILLS
YOU, SO WATCH OUT.  IF YOU HIT THE FIREBALL, YOU GET A BUNDLE OF POINTS BUT
THEN IT STARTS TO SPEED.  IT SOUNDS HARD, BUT YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF IT.
