          This game (should) works with:

              200 KB free conventional memory
              386 or better
              VGA
              Keyboard :)
        
         But I recommend at least:

              486 or better
              VGA
              CD-drive
              Keyboard

         I have made this game with this kind of composition:

              Pentium 75 MHz
              VGA
              Enough memory (620 KB)
              Quad speed CD-ROM > GUS > Speakers

                                   playing                                    
`'

         Execute game and you see some nice gfx. Press anykey to continue
         and you get into game. There's somewhere a little ugly green dot.
         It's your worm. Press any arrow key to move. But don't forget;
         The only way to stop now is hit the wall. Not smart...
         Your goal is pick all these little gems (diamonds or something)
         from playing area. Don't touch walls. Don't! In some levels is
         some nice (?) cages, and probably some buttons. When you hit red
         button, one or more cages disappear. I am not going to tell you
         more. JUST PLAY!

         Give these on command line:

                -GFX [file]             User sprite file
                -NOCD                   No CD-handling (playing+stopping)
                -SPEED [n]              Set delay-rate to n ms. Clears Top10
                                        (0= fastest, 100=quite slow...)

        For example: BOOGIE -FILE OWNLEVEL.LVL -NOCD -SPEED 2 -GFX MYSPRS.PCX

         Q: Game's too hard. Some levels are impossible.
         A: That's not my problem. Play better, all levels are possible to
            play without getting to dead.    

         Q: Game crashes.
         A: It should not. Send report to ilkka.hanninen@mbnet.fi

         Q: CD-feature doesn't work!!!
         A: Have you all necessary drivers? Have you setted them right?
            Have you an audio-cd in drive? Have you even cd-drive???

         Q: Keyboard works fancy after game.
         A: Not my fault.. it's my stupid keyboard routine's fault.
            Don't press shift-, alt- or ctrl-key(s), when starting
            the game.

         Q: Strange bug: Worm dies suddenly without good reason.
         A: I don't know, what I have done wrong. But I have encouraged
            this bug with user-level, in lower-right corner. Maybe
            Windows has infected my game.... or something ;)
