HOW TO PLAY:
============

Start Maryo Bros by tapping on the application icon in the application
launcher. After a short while, you will be presented with the main
Maryo Bros screen in which you may start the game or setup any
configuration options.

The water pipes in Maryo's house are blocked with crawling creatures.
Help Maryo knock the pipe pests off the floors using the hard keys or
the stylus. You may configure the key and sound volume in the
configuration screen. You get to this by selecting the menu item
'Config' in the 'Game' menu. Consult your handheld device manual for
instructions of selecting a menu item. When a game is active, you may
tap the speaker icon at the bottom left of the screen to get to the
configuration screen. It is possible to pause the current game in
progress by tapping the paw icon.

REGISTRATION:
=============

Maryo Bros is shareware, the demonstration version does not allow the
player to generate high score codes or advance past the third phase. To
access these features, a device identification number is required to
generate a unique unlocking registration datafile.

You can get to the registration screen by selecting the 'Register' menu
item in the 'Game' menu. It is very important to ensure that you copy
down the device identification exactly as it is presented in this dialog
as follows:

45:6D:75:6C:61:74:6F:72:39 <--- generated from the "Emulator" username

It is very common that users copy down this information incorrectly and
hence delay the registration process. An exact match is required for the
restration process to succeed.

REGISTRATION IS $7.50 and can be made at PalmGearHQ and are not
refundable. Once your purchase is made, you will receive a serial
number that you will then need to enter when you fill in survey at the
following web address:

Payments support future developments and the developer. If you paid for
this software in another manner - you have been ripped off. Report any
occurances by sending an email to aaron@ardiri.com

To be included the the global high score table (http://www.ardiri.com),
send an email to aaron@ardiri. com with the information shown in the
'Register Your Score' dialog. This will only appear if you beat the
internal high score for each game type, or if you request it using the
menu option under the 'Score' menu on the main page.
