             A fruit machine simulation based on horse racing!

THE FIRST POST
--------------
On the title screen:  Waggle the joystick from left to right to make your
horse go faster.  If you manage to win the race then you will earn extra
credits in the game and also a higher nudgepot and cashpot.  When you have
had enough waggling on this screen then hit the left mouse button to play
the game!


1ST HURDLE
----------
The main game:  Use the mouse to control all game actions.  The left mouse
button is used specifically for Hold, Start/Gamble and Cancel/Collect.

Clicking with the right mouse button will at any time move you to the list
screens.  These run through all the winning options.  Clicking again with
the mouse reverts back to the game.


2ND HURDLE
----------
The first hidden game: Paint-It.

When you are on the main playing screen, right mouse click the red "MI"
symbol on the racetrack at the top of the screen.  This will enter you into
the 1st hidden subgame "Paint-It" (based on the game Amidar).


1ST HIDDEN SUBGAME PAINT-IT
---------------------------
The Paint-It sub-game has onscreen instructions but it basically involves
you running around the screen avoiding aliens and paint lines to form boxes
which will destroy the aliens.  You of course need to avoid them to win.
To start the game you use the left mouse button or the joystick fire
button.

The control of the player in Paint-It is by joystick only.

To exit the game, just press the right mouse button.  And presto - back to
the main game screen.


3RD HURDLE
----------
The second hidden part:  Demo and second hidden game Snake.

Right click anywhere on the main game screen to view the list screens.
Whilst you are viewing these, hit the joystick fire button and you will be
transferred into the Mental Image demo.  Whilst in the demo hit the fire
button on the joystick again and this accesses the 2nd hidden game.

To play Snake simply collect the squares by using the joystick which will
increase the length of your snake.  You will die if you touch your own tail
or hit the walls.  The game speeds up at regular intervals.

 
Well that's it!  Hope you enjoy the game because it's a nice bit of coding
and if you really enjoy playing it then why not shove a fiver to the
authors in appreciation of their efforts:
