* WHAT IS IBID? *
Ibid is a challenging arcade and puzzle game. Your goal is to maneuver a
worm through various obstacles, including your long tail, in search of
precious diamonds. With every diamond obtained, you are closer to passing
the level, however your tail also grows longer. If you hit your tail or
any object on the field, you must start the level over again.
* HOW DO I PLAY? *
In the directory in which you ran the Ibid self-extract file, type "ibid"
at the dos prompt and press <Enter>. The Birken Software opening screen
will appear followed by the Ibid introduction. Pressing a key at this
point will bring you to the Ibid main menu. If you press <P>, your game will
commence at level one. A screen will appear informing you of the current
level and it's secret code number. The secret code number can be used to
prove that you have made it up to the level before. With it, you can skip to
that level again in the future. Now, you can either press <Enter> to begin
playing or <Esc> to return to the main menu.
You can control your worm using the cursor keys or the numerical keypad.
If you choose to use the numerical keypad, made sure Num Lock is turned off.
Do not hold down the direction keys. The worm will travel on it's own.
Peck each direction key as you need to change direction.
To continue a game from the past, press <C> from the main menu. A colon
will appear where the continue option was located. Type your level secret
code in now and press <Enter>. Select play from the main menu and you will
begin where you left off.
Speed can be changed by selecting <S> on the main menu. If you have a
slow computer, select a fast speed. Choose a slow speed if you have a fast
computer. Speed can also be changed to increase difficulty of the game.
If you would like to quit Ibid at any time in the game, first crash your
worm into an obstacle. You will return to the game information screen.
Record your level's secret code and then press <Esc>. You will now be at the
main menu. From here press <Q> to quit.
