	POLITICALLY INCORRECT ADVENTURES OF GEWT NINGRICH.   

	And it was good....


	**The Story Proper**
	====================
	With alligations of illegally aquired campaign funds
mounting and support from his ultra-conservative allies dwindling.
     Our hero, Senator Gewt Ningrich, has set out on a conservative 
crusade to regain the support of his constituents and comrades and 
to do his darndest to earn some cold hard cash to fund his political
revolution.
	You must guide Gewt on his quest back to Washington, to 
regain his support in the Senate and to destroy his arch enemy, the 
slimy quasi-liberal president Clint Billton.

	   and execute the install program.  If you are in windows

	The End


**3. Game Strategy**

Some people say to me  "Jason I just can't figure out your game.
	What's the point? I just can't get my mind around killing
	and destroying people and animals?"

	See the problem is that  you're thinking too much.
	You need to put your brain on the back burner
	and fall back on those tried and true conservative
	alies:  2000 year old dogma, hatred, ignorance, fear, and 
	GREED! 
	Once you do that the strategy for beating the game should
	  make itself readily available to you.

	If it doesn't, go to sunday school for a few hours,
	watch Rush Limbaugh, or go to a gun show..you'll figure
	it out....

**4. Troubleshooting**

	Since this is the shareware version I'm not about to 
give you any support other than what you can gleen from the following
list of problems or FAQs available at the web/ftp site
(terrasoftware.webking.com).

Common problems:

Q.
"I hate your stupid game"
A
Don't play it.

Q
"Your stupid game offends me"
A
Don't play it.

Q
"Your stupid game won't run on my computer"
A
Don't play it..just kidding

If the game won't load the only probable  problem is that 
you lack suffiecient RAM to play the game.  Try unloading
TSRs (ie. hold down the shiftkey while turning on the computer)
to free up some ram.  If you do this you may need to subsequently 
load your mouse driver (try typing " mouse" )

Q
"Can I play this game under windows?"
A
The game runs fine under windows 95 on some systems but you shouldn't
 try and run it under windows 3.1.
 If you are however experiencing weird problems
like no sound. Try rebooting into dos mode.

Q
"When I run the game from windows 95 the screen is tiny."
A
Hold down the alt key and press enter.

Q
"Sometimes when I'm playing the game under windows 95 it switches
 back to Windows without warning?"
A 
You probably held alt and pressed space.  This is a windows hot key
and can be disabled for the application by right clicking on it's icon
 and editing the prefrences.

Q.
 When I run the game under windows 95 I don't get any sound, or just
 the music works?

A. 
 If your soundcard is in fact a 95% or greater soundblaster compatable,
 try rebooting into DOS mode that may take care of the problem.


**5. Registration**

	Registering TPIAGN is **cheap**.
	
	$10 US  plus $3.95 for shipping.

	"What the hell do I get if I register
	 your damn software?"

	If you register you get the latest version
	of TPIAGN on disk along with a printed manual.
	You also get a username and password that
	will grant you access to the registered user section
	of my web site where you can always download the latest
	version of TPIAGN.

	"That's it...you gotta be joking!"

        The full version contains levels 3 and 7,
        and 3 bonus levels ( weird little
	things ..believe me) and the manual contains 
	cheat codes and special moves.

	"So is that it?"

	No, you also provide me with the incentive to make more 
	twisted games like TPIAGN.  You wouldn't believe some
	of the ideas I've got..but if people like you don't bother
	to help out starving :( shareware programmers like me, you
	won't ever see what sinister oddities lurk in the back of
	my mind.

	So send me some money.....
