JACK FLASH
An MVP Software Production

NEWS FLASH!! NEWS FLASH!! NEWS FLASH!! NEWS FLASH!!
---------------------------------------------------------
Unbelievable, but true! As we were told just a few moments ago by
our newsman Norbert Nanotech, the mad Professor E. Eddison (known as
Evil Eddi) brought the "Things" to life with his "Energy
Generators". Now there is nowhere to hide from the aggressive
apples, combative carrots, lunatic light-bulbs and all the other
strange things that have now united together to found their own
state called "Thing-City" -- independent from humans. The Things
installed their energy generators everywhere. As we know from
well-informed government sources, there is only one small chance
left to stop the Things. The government has put all its hope in one
man, the one and only Jack Flash. We managed to talk to this man,
on whom the whole nation is depending to stop the Things. Here is
our exclusive interview.
CN: How are you going to stop the Things?
JF: I can extract the life-energy from the Things by using my
Suck-O-Matic (TM). I just press the ALT-key for it. But it's even
more important to destroy the energy generator on each level.
CN: How are you going to find these energy generators?
JF: Well, I'll have to look for them. I can jump very high with the
CTRL key. Helping me are the monitors that are spread around. I
have a small remote controlled camera, the TEMU, that I can activate
with the T key. I can see their transmission on the monitors.
CN: Where do you get the energy for that camera and the
Succ-O-Matic?
JF: I have a limited amount of energy in my backpack. If this is
used up, I have to recharge it by pressing ENTER at the converters
that I find on occasion.
CN: Is there anything else you want to tell our readers, before you
start your mission?
JF: Well, maybe they are interested in learning that we work with
the latest technology; the teleport units. When I activate these by
pressing ENTER, I will be transported to another area of the level.
Another interesting point is that the government offers an extra
life if I manage to suck all the things on a level, or if I collect
all bonus objects.
CN: Thank you very much for this detailed interview. We wish you
the best of luck for your mission. The entire world is depending on
you.
So that is the latest breaking news about the Jack Flash and the
Mutiny of the Things. We will all be waiting anxiously to see how
this exiting story develops.
JACK FLASH is shareware. You are free to evaluate this software.
If you like it or find it useful, you must register with MVP
Software by purchasing the complete JACK FLASH game. When you
purchase the complete version you will receive the latest version,
including all four episides, new graphics and enemies, a printed
manual, and a free offer on all other MVP shareware games.
SHAREWARE gives you the opportunity to try this software before
buying it. You may have purchased this software in a store, from a
catalog, or downloaded it from an online service or BBS. At most
you should have paid only a few dollars for it. This payment goes
to the vendor or online service, not to MVP. It gives you the right
to try the software, but if you like the game, you are required to
purchase the full game directly from MVP.
This means that you can try innovative and fun games like JACK FLASH
without first shelling out the money for the entire program. We
hope you like JACK FLASH and support the shareware concept by
purchasing the complete game.
Thanks for playing JACK FLASH and for supporting shareware. Your
honesty pays.

INSTALLATION
------------
If you downloaded this file from a BBS, you don't need to run
Install. If you purchased an evaluation disk from a shareware
vendor or the story, follow these directions.
To install JACK FLASH, place the diskette into the A drive and
type A:, or into the B drive and type B:. When the A> or B> prompt
appears on the screen, type INSTALL. Follow the directions to
install the software.
To begin the game type JACK.
NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS
---------------------
JACK FLAHS might run as a DOS application, spawned under Windows,
but you may encounter sound card conflicts. The best solution if
you run into conflicts is to completely exit from Windows before
starting JACK FLAHS. Clicking on the DOS prompt is NOT exiting
Windows. You must actually close your Windows session.
We strongly recommend that you terminate Windows completely before
running JACK FLASH and run the game directly from DOS.
MAKING A CLEAN BOOT DISK
------------------------
If you encounter problems running JACK FLASH there may be a conflict
between it and a program resident in memory. Here's a way to avoid
the conflict.
Place a blank, unformatted diskette into drive A of your computer.
Then type
FORMAT A:/S/U
and press enter. When the computer is finished formatting the disk
and copying the system files to it, press the RESET button on your
computer or the ALT-CTRL-DEL keys at the same time. After your
computer has rebooted, go to the JACK FLASH directory and play
the game. If it runs, there is a conflict between a resident
program loaded by your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. Whenever
you want to play JACK FLASH, simply reboot your computer with
the boot disk you have created.
