INTRODUCTION ============ Welcome to BlackJack Frustration, a door game for Wildcat!(c). This is a game where luck and strategy combine for you to win big money. HOW TO PLAY =========== After you see the opening screens, you will see six blank card spaces on the right-hand side of the screen. The top row is your hand and the bottom row is the computer's hand. You will then be shown the first card for each hand and then the second card in your hand. At that point, you will be asked if you wish to hit, stand, or quit the game. If you choose hit, you will then be shown the third card in your hand. If you choose stand, you will see the next card in the computer's hand and, if necessary, the last card in the computer's hand. After that, the game will calculate the winner and add or subtract from your score as appropriate. Play will then move on to the next round until all ten (10) rounds have been completed. It should be noted that, unlike regular BlackJack, the computer will always go for the win. For example: If you have 21 and the computer has 20 after the first two cards, the computer will take a hit. Bear that in mind when playing with 16s or 17s. As stated earlier, there are 10 rounds in this game with the value for winning each round as follows: Round 1 ................................ $1,000 Round 2 ................................ $5,000 Round 3 ................................ $10,000 Round 4 ................................ $20,000 Round 5 ................................ $30,000 Round 6 ................................ $40,000 Round 7 ................................ $50,000 Round 8 ................................ $100,000 Round 9 ................................ $500,000 Round 10 ............................... $1,000,000 In addition to normal BlackJack play, there has been one added little twist that makes the word "Frustration" in the game title very apt. There is a Joker added to this deck. If you get the Joker, you LOSE DOUBLE the value of that round but, if the computer gets the Joker, you WIN DOUBLE the value of that round!
