M E M O R Y
is a very old and well known game of memory and concentration.
At the beginning 50 cards (two series with each 25 pictures)
were shuffled and layed out face down. Both players have to try
to find two matching cards.
To start the game, just type MEMORY
The program will ask for the name of the first player, so enter
your name (up to 9 characters). Then enter the name of the second
player, if you wish to play against a friend. Pressing just RETURN
(with no entry) tells MEMORY, that you wish to play against COMPI,
your PC. In this case you have now to choose the level for COMPI
( type "1" (for very easy for you) ... "5" (for a very hard task)).
Now the deck of cards is layed out. The first player has to move
the cursor around and hit RETURN or SPACE to turn a card over or
has just to click with the left mouse button at the desired card.
He repeats this procedure to turn over a second card. If the two
cards match, he receives one point and both cards will be removed;
it's again his turn. If both cards don't match, the other player
tries to find a matching pair and so on. MEMORY shows always the
score of both players ans which player has to choose cards.

During the game MEMORY offers the following features:
"SOUND" toggles sound on / off,
"DISPLAY ALL" shows all the 25 pairs if you answer with YES
(pressing 'Q' will stop displaying all cards) and will
then start the next game if you wish.
"HELP" shows a help screen (press 'G' to return to the game).
"QUIT" terminates MEMORY and exits to DOS.
To start these functions click with the left mouse button to
the desired area at the top of the screen or press the hilited
character (i.e. 'H' for HELP).
A very comfortable feature is that you're able to tell MEMORY
your desired configuration in the command line:
The following parameters can be used:
/1xxx ( where xxx is the name of the first player.
Note: NO space between 1 and the name!)
/2yyy ( where yyy is the name of the second player)
/C1 ... /C5 ( c or C means playing against COMPI, the number
1 ... 5 the level)
/S- ( s- or S- sets the sound=OFF (default is
sound=ON)
/M- ( m- or M- tells MEMORY that you don't want to
use your mouse although a mouse is installed)
/Pzzz ( where zzz is the full path to the picture
files "MEMORY.???" if these files are not in
the current directory).

Some examples:
memory /1Steffen /2Rita
MEMORY will NOT ask for the players names, first player is
Steffen and second player is Rita.
memory /1Steffen /c3 /s-
MEMORY will NOT ask for the players names. Steffen plays
against COMPI in level 3. Sound is OFF.
memory /m- /Pc:\games\memory /1Steffen
The first player is Steffen, MEMORY will ask only for the
name of the second player (can be a friend or COMPI).
Although a mouse is installed it's not used. The files
"MEMORY.???" are in the specified directory.
Please note: MEMORY comes to you from "Good old Germany".
It's a german program; so I'm very sorry for a stumbling
translation!
