descr.: collect the villages, avoid the monster

 Speeds
 ¬¬¬¬¬¬
  If you run the game, the speed it asks for is 1 for high, 100 for low.
Speed of 1 is for A3010s, 100 for Strong ARM.

 The Scenario
 ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
	From the mysterious corners of the Earth, from the gutters, the
ancient tombs, the MicroSoft offices, huge, people eating Monsters have
emerged, bringing with them chaos and anarchy. As the Monsters rampaged, and
tore apart the cities, groups of people came together willing to put a stop
to the killings.

	Huge fences were constructed around enormous areas where there was
known to be a monster. The areas which the fences were built around were so
huge (to avoid attacks on the fence during constuction), that villages and
towns were often within the boundaries.

	Teams in all-terrain vehicles had the job of rescuing people from
the towns and villages.

	You are in charge of one of the teams.

 The Directions
 ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
	Guide your group to all the villages in each area, avoid the
monster or you will be killed, or worse sued and tortured repeatedly for
causing the deaths of partially innocent people, then magically go to the
entrance of another caged monster.

  Thank yous go to :

  Fraggle		For not minding me stealing lots of ideas (and
code) from 1kInvaders.

  Alain Brobecker	Although he may not know why

  Mohsen Alshayef	StrongBS maker

  Pervect		For making squasher, which is excellent, and
running the competition along with LogiX

  Matt Groening		Making The Simpsons makes Matt Groening a sort of
demi-god, and although this seems to have little relevence to this program
at best, he is the inspiration of many of my works (?)

  You, the reader	For being intelligent enough to read thus far, for
still using an Acorn computer, and for being interested in programming.
You are also increadibly clever and deserve much praise. (lesson from
politics: suck up to voters)
