MUSTREAD.TXT for MUSTANG verion 3.0 October 1991 - by John Schmitt ***************************************************************************** General Description of the Game: In this game, the player flies a type of plane called the "Mustang". This plane was used in World War II and is fairly easy to fly. Using the Mustang, the player fights his way through an increasingly difficult array of evil enemy fighter planes and larger enemy bombers. Throughout the never ending mission, the Mustang can augment its arsenal by picking up special gifts that float down the screen. (For full description of the gifts and commands, request the instructions before the game, or press "P" - for pause - during the game.) This game is designed for VGA/EGA monitors. This version is designed for use with a mouse, but will also work with a keyboard. ***************************************************************************** UPDATES IN 3.0 !!! MOUSE CONTROL : Optional mouse control makes Mustang 3.0 significantly more fun to play than earlier versions. BETTER GRAPHICS : Graphics have become much better. The overall feel of the playing environment is greatly enhanced. MORE CHALLENGING UPPER LEVELS : A larger variety of enemies has been included. There are many more bonuses, but they get harder and harder to earn. The big guys get harder too, firing heat seeking missles and taking more hits. ***************************************************************************** You now have your very own copy of MUSTANG.
