near that speed.  Some of the game will be messed up.
-to run this game without any errors.  you need SETIT.EXE, IL.EXE, FAST.YAH,
SAVE.YAH and SETUP.BMP

and they are really anoying.  press "t" and there will be no delays in the
menus or explosions.
-you may have to run the SETIT.EXE file a couple of times before getting the
game speed to run right.  The first couple of guys are suppose to be kind of
easy.

The story...

It is 2134.. People don't actually use their brains much anymore.  Computers 
are better, more technical, and much smarter.  Humans use computers for 
everything. With computers actually containing more memory than the human 
brain, People seem to put their trust in them.  You ask, do humans still have
brains?  Oh yes.. they still have them.  They just don't seem to like them 
anymore. 
    With these new computers, humans have been able to create things like the
virtual glasses which actually make a higher resolution than real life.  
Another famous creation is the food digester.  This digests your food without
you having to do it yourself.  Although these invensions are very nice.. they
seem not to compare with the best technology of them all, space ships which 
are able  to fly into far away galaxies.  On some planets, they have found 
frozen chunks of ice which have made it posible for the creation of giant 
space stations.  Of course, with large space stations.. people have created 
space fighter ships,  like the "Crasher" and "Poopy Pink".  These are the 
names the new super-techno computers have come up with. 
    Now.. In these times (mainly the 22 century) people have become so 
dependant on computers.. they seem to have lost all sense of knowledge.  So 
that, when the family computer brakes down, or is on repair.. or simply cannot
come up with a solution.. people must use those things back from the olden 
days called.. Brains.  Now.. when people lose almost all knowledge they have..
they seem to do very strange and bazzare things. Like say..  try to blow each
other up.  But, they have not lost all brain power...  They realize that it is
stupid to blow someone up with no reward.. so, before they fight another 
human being.. they must bet money that will go to the surviver.  After only 
fighting on land with guns and nasty weapons they soon found this was very 
boring and needed something to spice it up a little.  They decided that they 
would try to blow up each other useing space fighter ships.  It was a grand 
idea and many people started useing it.  Later, it became a every day routine
for the best pilots. 
    You, a beginning space pilot must use all the little brain power you have left if 
you want to survive and still have loads of fun.  Gamble your way into glory 
and become the king of space fighters.  Buy new ships and new guns.  Fight 
different bad guys and show them who's boss.  Good luck. 

Lifeores?...

Lifeores means gambling for your life. No.. it is not a real word, I made it
up.  I was trying to think of a cool name for the game and my four year old
brother said I should name it Life Wars.  It sounded like Lifeores so that is
what I called it.
