This is a game I wrote back in the eighties - the tender, golden
age of PC's.  Actually, "Space Adventure" is a conversion of an even
older favourite of mine on the BBC 'B' Micro, published by Virgin.

If you are familiar with the original, you'll feel right at home,
as I made this conversion as true to it as possible.  A couple of
things:

 * I never managed to finish the BBC version, so I made up my own
	 storyline and ending sequence.
 * Space Adventure will be very fast on today's PCs, so you'll want
	 to slow your 486, and yes, even your 386SX/16, down a lot.
 * Nothing less than CGA supported ... uhmm... nothing more either,
	 in fact... :-)
 * Don't be alarmed if some noises come out of your speaker.  I
	 didn't own a sound card back then, but I did my best with what
	 I had...

This, sources and all, is Public Domain as far as I am concerned.
Nothing at all was ripped from the original, and I doubt anyone
would care to push a "look-and-feel" lawsuit over me on this... :-)

By the way: IMED is the Image Editor I wrote to do the CGA graphics.
Simple, but good enough at the time.  If you ever edit one of the
images, run ICNCMP.BAT to update the image collection used by the
game.  SHIPED is an editor for the ship map layout.  Feel free to
play around.

are pretty old and out of date...)
