- ------------------------------------------
-
- Hollywood Trivia is being released as Shareware, please feel free to upload
- it to any BBS. However, your archive must contain all of the original
- files, including this one. Hollywood Trivia is copyrighted and may not be
- sold for a profit (except the normal disk copying fee).
-
-
- If you play Hollywood Trivia and like it (I hope, I hope), please send a
- $5.00 shareware donation to
-
- Town Crier Publications
- 12214 - 94th Pl. N.E.
- Kirkland, Wa. 98034
-
- I have set the shareware fee very low considering the time and effort that
- went into writing this program. If users show an interest in this game
- updates will be released. This could include new pictures, new subjects
- and questions, and an editor allowing you to write your own questions.
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
-
- ** SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS **
-
- This is easy. Once you have decompressed the archive you should have two
- directories (Pictures and Text) and three files (HollywoodTrivia,
- HollywoodTrivia.info and ReadMe). Copy these files and directories onto
- a freshly formated disk and you're ready to go.
-
- NOTE: If you have a disk optimizer such as BAD or FlashDisk! I suggest
- you use it to perform the above copy operations. These utilities
- do a great job of speeding up disk access and reducing drive noise.

-
-
- ** PLAY INSTRUCTIONS **
-
- HollywoodTrivia is a very easy game to play, simply double click on the
- icon and follow the prompts. After the opening screen is displayed click
- the left mouse button to continue. Once the game screen has scrolled open,
- go to the subject menu and choose a topic. Each topic contains fifty
- questions and a related picture. After a few seconds of disk access the
- first question will appear, along with four possible answers. Now just
- click on the gadget next to the answer you want. Every time you answer a
- question right you will be shown a small portion of the picture in the
- blue graphics box. Once you have answered all fifty questions the entire
- picture will be displayed and you will be asked to choose another subject.
- There are eight subjects containing a total of 400 questions.
