I am not responsible for any adverse effects on your computer, mind, sanity, or dog.
If anything happens, it's not my fault. I don't have a warranty or anything. Heck, I
don't even have any money. I'm not implying that it _will_ do anything to your
computer....well, you get the idea.

                  -   -  - ->  InStAlL   <- -  -   -
To install is easy. Just make sure the file gpicdat.dat is in the same directory as 
galaxian.exe and you're all set. Run galaxian.exe to play the game.

The goal of the game is to get through the 24 levels. You'll have aliens spacecraft 
coming down at you. DON'T LET THEM GET TO THE BOTTOM OR IT'LL COST YOU A LIFE. If you
hit one of their bullets or a chasing bullet/enemy thingy hits you, you're dead and you
lose a life. When you run out of lives, you get a game over. 

The things that you can get though are power ups. These are orangish circles with a
letter on them. 

	L: Extra life       Chances of appearing: 20%
     B: Bomb             Chances of appearing: 80%

These are pretty easy to figure out. When you use a bomb it takes one hit off of every
enemy. It will also destroy the chasing bullet/enemy thingies. IT WILL NOT DESTROY
THE ENEMY BULLETS!

                  -   -  - ->  CoNtRoLs  <- -  -   -
The controls are pretty simple & are as follows....

	Space Bar:          Fires bullets.
	Right CTRL:         Shoots a bomb.
	Left arrow:         Moves left.
	Right arrow:        Moves right.
	P button:			Pauses the game.
	ESC:                Quits game.
	F5:                 Shuffles current song. 

*NoTe* To get out of the Pause screen, press the space bar.
