+DON'T DIE =-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Playing wormy's quite simple actually. Just avoid your worm from crashing
+(into walls or yourself) by turning it left/right. Default controls are:
+1)left/right 2)F1/F2 3)sto/, 4)enter/+ but they can be altered to anything
+except EXIT (which always exits to the stats-screen) and MORE (turns your calc
+off.)

+to return to the main menu.
+
+SINGLEPLAYER =----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In singleplayer games, you're alone. You just move your worm over the "food"
+to get to the next level. At the top of the screen you can see in which level
+you are, how many peas you still have to eat, your score and your lives left.
+You can start in any level you've been before.

 
 

-SINGLEPLAYER =-------------------------------------------------------------
-Move your worm over the "food". When you ate enough food you advance to the
-next, more difficult, level. At the top of the screen you can see in which
-level you are, how many peas you still have to eat, your score and your
-lives left. You can start in any level you've been before.
+PEAWORM =---------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 

-PEAWORM =------------------------------------------------------------------
-Get as many peas possible in a single level.
+The original Wormy by Scabby was called Peaworm, and it was basically Wormy in
+it's simplest form. I implemented this game into Wormy too. You just try to
+get as many peas possible in a single level.

-DEATHMATCH =---------------------------------------------------------------
-A multiplayer game for 2-4 players, where you have to kill the other
-worm(s) before they kill you. When you have no lives left, the game ends.
-You can set the number of lives at the main menu, and it'll be displayed
-during the game at the top of the screen for each player.
-
-FOODMATCH =----------------------------------------------------------------
-Like deathmatch, with the difference that your objective is to score a
-certain amount of points (100 by default.) You'll earn 10 for eating food,
-but if you die you'll lose 10.
-
-//HUNTING =------------------------------------------------------------------
-//In hunting, the hunter (player 1) has to "catch" the prey (2). The hunter
-//must hit the prey with his head, killing the prey and scoring 10 points.
-//However, the prey gains 5 points for every 250 turns he's alive. The first
-//one scoring 100 points wins.
-
-RACE =---------------------------------------------------------------------
-In this gametype, all worms have to move around like race-cars. For each
-lap you complete you'll get 40 points. You lose 10 for dieing, but you
-cannot be killed by running into other worms (you will be slowed down
-though).

+Wormy comes together with WORMEDIT, the Wormy level editor for DOS I wrote.

+course release your own levels freely, but I would appreciate it if you'd send
+me a copy of your levels.

 * June 2000: Worm just didn't want to work correctly (linkplay problems
    mostly), so I decided to take a break to continue later..
 * Feb 2001: After a huge break I figured it's time to complete WormY.
 * Summer 2001: Shiar finally completed Wormy and everybody was happy (???)
