=====Intro----------------

Thank you for downloading this game, hope you have many fun hours with it.
It is best if you read all of this file cause otherwise you'll miss some
of the game play. This game has taken me a little more than 8 months to 
finnish and the source code contains about 9000 lines. I hope you have 
fun with it.
This game is called "the project 2" beacuase is its the sequal to first game 
that I ever made called "the project". That game was made in real mode and had
no sound so there is quite a difference between the two games. If you want to 
have a look at "The project" surf to http://come.to/hardguy. If it's not
there it may exist at http://home.bip.net/ninja2598/.
I made this game becuase a friend thought the last game was fun and he asked
me if I were going to add more weapons and levels. Beacuse the game was ugly
I began all over and made this game.  



=====System Requirements---

A Pentium 75mhz with a vga graphics card should be enough. It is also
recommended that you have a soundblaster compitable soundcard. A key-
board is also nice to have at hand. A brain is a must, but if you had
none you wouldn't be reading this shit.



====Playing the Game-------

When you start the game first you will see a little "intro", skip it by
pressing Esc. After that you will enter the main menu. Use arrow keys to
move up and down use ENTER to select.  

- NEW GAME:   this starts a new game. Choose wich slot the game
              will be saved in.

- LOAD GAME:  this loads a game.

- OPTIONS:    choose sound and music volume.

- CREDITS:    Who made this?

- EXIT:       Don't klick here (it exits the game).

When you play the game and the sound- and musicsettings will be saved every 
time you finnish a level. When you die just choose "load game" in the main 
menu and choose the slot you chose when you began.

           Press Esc again to return.


You start the game with an Assultgun and an injection. Use the injection to
get full life. The lifemeter is the red thing up and to the right. And don't
forget to pick up the grenades.

 

======Tips and Tricks-----------

- First of all, this not an easy game. You 
  can consider yourself a good gamer
  when you have finnished it.

- Read what your character is saying. It 
  may contain vital information.

- Strafe to avoid fire from enemys.

- Enemys only fire from a certain distance.
  Stay out of this distance.

- Push on every thing that looks unusual.

- Fighting is not always the right solution.

- Save the ammo, you'll need it later.

- If you think that you can push something
  , then you probably can. Don't give up after
  one try. Try from different angles.

- Try to find all the weapons. Some are very
  powerful and will help you on later 
  levels.  

- Don't get too close to the rats. They'll 
  grab you.

- Use the Mega-launcher with caution. It's very
  powerful...

- The flamecannon is a very nice weapon,but you
  may have bad luck if you move with it.

- If it gets too dark, you might want to use a 
  flashlight.

- Mail me (hardguy@rocketmail.com) if you get stuck.
  I'll answer the letter as soon as I can.
