1: System requirements

   Look, you downloaded this from online, right? Well, when AGI was chic,
there was really no internet. Odds are, you can run this.


2: Story

  Brack Malaleuca of the city of Valac works at the Hammond Motors, inc.
Building. Working late one night, he discovers an alien spacecraft touch
down near the building. This goes from one thing to another, and goes to
a point where Brack must save the world. Basically, i'm not going to 
reveal much.


3: How to play

  As all AGI games go, you get to control the hero. Use the arrow keys
to maneuver through offices, forests, and alien machinery. Don't forget
you can move diagonally. When time comes for action, you can type in
commands. For instance, you could find a jar labeled "Sulphuric acid".
You could type "GET JAR" or other synonyms. This would let you take the
acid. However, things may not go as you would expect. Maybe the jar is
brittle, and it would break in your hand and the acid will eat all your
internal organs. That is such the nature of an adventure. You might find
it easier to talk like a caveman, since the program could care less for
prepositions and the like. Example: Instead of "SHOOT AT DEER", you could
say "SHOOT DEER". Acidopolis understands many commands, like:

LOOK 		DIE		FEEL
EXAMINE		READ		TOUCH
WATCH		OPEN		MOLEST
ACQUIRE		CLOSE		PUSH
GET		FART		RAM
PICK UP		TALK		PUT
USE		TELL		THROW
EXPLOIT		ASK		GO IN

...as well as their synonyms. The list will grow, for this is the demo.
If you press escape, you will enter the menu bar. You can see a help 
screen, save a game, restore a game, restart, quit, see your inventory,
toggle the sound, change speed, and more. Now you know all you need to
know to traverse this crazy world.
