Introduction

   This is a small Mario game I made in 1994. I wrote this game to practice
   VGA programming. My goal was to create a PC game with parallax scrolling
   layers that would run smoothly on my 25 MHz 486 computer. The game has
   six levels and the size of the .EXE file is below 64K!

   This game was programmed in Turbo Pascal. The source code is now available
   at http://www.cs.kun.nl/~mike.wiering/mario/.


Controls

   All menus can be controlled with the arrow keys and Enter to select. Press
   Esc to go back or exit.

   During the game:

      Left, Right        -  Walk
      Ctrl Left, Right   -  Run
      Alt                -  Jump
      Space              -  Fire (aim with Up and Down)
      Down               -  Enter pipe (only some)
      Esc                -  Quit

   You can also use a joystick. To calibrate, run:

      mario -j


Distribution

   This game is freeware. You may copy it, as long as you make NO changes to
   the game or any associated files. DO NOT add your own documentation,
   registration forms, loaders, "Done by ..." messages, etc. Just leave the
   original ZIP file as it is.
