(Hey, Don't quit without reading the shareware note at the bottom. This readme is high quality humor, so be sure to read it all!)
ZARK- A fast paced two player lost in space Arcade game.
The coolest you'll see for a long time.
Ranks up there with all those other space games, but this one has TWO PLAYERS!
Yes, that's write, act now and play.
Zark is the ultimate in space adventure.
And now, welcome to version TWO!
Twice the bad guys!
Twice the levels! (Well, 7 times, there was only one last time)
And Infinity times the bosses! (There is one now, there were none before.)
This one requires-
256 colors
at least 640x480 pixels
a 68020 (I don't think it will work on PowerMacs, yet)
and likes-
system 7 (I've never tried on a system 6 machine. If it bugs out, e-mail me)
a 68040 (sorry, I don't have enough shareware fees to afford a PowerMac
(but if I get enough money, I'll definitely buy one and recompile the program)
And best of all, this was programmed by Joshua Glazer-
THE VAMPIRIC BUNNY! (See intro for details)
Right Here in the USA! That means that when you send him
the shareware fee of THREE MEASLY DOLLARS
(or just a postcard if you live in a cardboard box and can't afford money)
You'll be SUPPORTING the U.S. ECONOMY!
(and I know you'll pay me, because thanks to modern technology, I now
have your home address and will be sending a couple of the boys over
to work on your kneecaps. Hehehe. (Just kidding, Please don't sue me!)
In truth, I'm a struggling yuppie High School student (I go to Harvard Westlake in North Hollywood Ca.) who really really really needs a PowerMac. If you send me money, I'll be sure to put your name on my computer so I think of you every time you use it.
So, mail that money right away to
(A check is fine, made out to Joshua Glazer)

Or, just e-mail me your Visa or Mastercard number at
VBunny@aol.com
(Don't so this, it's just a joke. Snail mail me money.)
If you pay, I'll be happy to fix any bugs you report and mail you
any new versions I happen to make. I'll also send you word
(by e-mail, so send you're address) of any new games I put out.
By the way, if you send 7$ (ooh, getting expensive!)
I'll send you.....THE SOURCE CODE!!!! OOOHH!
You can get ideas from it and even use those ideas
in YOUR OWN GAMES, if you e-mail me first and
I tell you it's okay.
(But, I will, as long as you don't work for Microsoft, my worst competition)
I'll also be happy to answer any questions you e-mail me
about how the program works, so the 7$ deal is definitely
the best way to go.
Thank you
e-mail me at

It is fine to put the Zark program on ANY BBS (even IBM ones, but it won't do much good) as long as you include this file with it.
(Any putting of ZARK in a shareware collection (I wish) must
be okayed by me first.)
Once again, that name's Joshua Glazer
the address is: VBunny@aol.com
Enjoy. Happy Killings. (In the game, I mean!)
Help:
Game is self explanatory. KILL! (Figure out how to kill the bad guy at the end)
Set your keys under the game menu. Note that this is space and there are no breaks!!!!!
To stop, you must turn the way you DON'T want to go and push the thrust key.
Note that the blue bar at the bottom is how much more special defense you have left (it goes down slowly when you push the 'special' key) and the green/red/yellow bars are how much life you have left. If you choose the cloak defense, only the other player cannot see you. This is good for one on one games in which you turn the bad guys off. (Cool bonus mode, under GAME menu.) Because the CLOAK sucks for regular combat (against the computer) you get the added bonus of the LASER! this DOES NOT reduce your blue bar and it has UNLIMITED USES!!!!! This is because it's almost to survive more than six levels without a shield.
If you kill the big bad guy on the last level seven, e-mail me and tell me what happens. If you're right, down to the lowest detail, I'll send you another nifty program.
(obviously, you could only beat the game if you had it, and if you had it, you would have paid your shareware fee, so (in case you can't see where I'm going) you won't get squat unless you're a registered user and have sent me my 3 or 7 bucks)
