WARI
"The Ancient Game of Africa"
Version 1.4

All rights reserved.
If you are having trouble learning Wari, press the
F8 Demo key from the opening screen. More rules and
strategy are available by pressing the F1 Help key.
Wari is easy, you say? You've "beat" the game? Not
until you have beaten The Elephant! The Giraffe is
child's play; the Lion and Zebra are only average
players--the Elephant will consistently beat them by 15
more stones . . .
To play The Elephant, you must register Wari. We spent
weeks programming The Elephant to use all the winning
strategies in Wari:
- Move in Hand - The Twist
- Flight - Reinforcement
- The Grand Slam - Overkill
These techniques are explained when you press F1 help.
WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
Shareware is a beautiful concept that gives you a
chance to "try" Wari and other programs before you
"buy" them. If you try Wari and continue to use it,
please send us the $16.95 registration fee (plus $4.00
s&h) and we will send you the latest registered version
of Wari.
The registered version allows you to play The Elephant!

THANK YOU!
We at ImagiSOFT had lots of fun developing Wari, and
hope you like it as much as we do. ImagiSOFT's
president, Mike Prestwich, discovered Wari on the
island of Antigua while on he was on a Caribbean
cruise. This game is based largely on "How To Play
Warri" ($11.00) by David Chamberlin, 2101 Birchwood
Road, Lancaster, PA 17603. Most of Wari's history was
gleaned from the informative book "Intelligence Games"
by Franco Agostini and Nicola Alberto Decarlo,
published by Fireside Books.
David Sanders developed many new assembly language
routines for Wari; it is his remarkable talent that
makes Wari (and our other products) work so well on
your computer. Russ Chancellor's extraordinary artwork
was drawn by hand on the screen, not scanned, using
Deluxe Paint II. Robert Allen composed the music which
adds so much to the atmosphere of Wari. Lastly, our
quality control staff gave Wari a thorough work out
before it was released.
Of course, without the financial support of our loyal
customers, Wari wouldn't be have been created. We
appreciate you most of all!
