READ ME TEXT FOR SAMPLER


I.M. Meen

Be quick. Be smart. Beware.

Ignatius Mortimer Meen is a nasty librarian who hates smart kids and 
he's built a 36-level labyrinth to trap them. He's also a writer...a 
terrible writer with poor grammar who only writes about himself. He 
thinks he's so great! And then you come along. You're trapped in a 
cell, but Gnorris -- Meen's kindly assistant -- takes pity on you and 
frees you. To escape from the labyrinth you must free the other 
children who are still locked away in Meen's magic labyrinth. 
Gnorris has nailed a scroll of Meen's writing on each cell door where 
there's a trapped child. Find the scrolls, correct the writing and the 
kids will be set free. But -- oh yes -- you must survive the labyrinth. 
Meen will send giant spiders, ratmen, gargoyles and other Magic 
Guardians to recapture you. Defend yourself with your Magic Wands, 
Explode-O-Fruits and other Magic Items.

In this two-level sampler, you will experience some of the excitement 
of I. M. Meen, but only with the full 36-level game will you be able to 
work your way up to the final confrontation between you... and MEEN!

Setting Up The Game

1. To play I.M.Meen  you must first install some files onto your hard 
drive. To start, insert the I.M.Meen CD-ROM into your CD-ROM 
drive and turn on the drive.

2. Turn on your computer. If you use QEMM memory manager, you 
must de-activate it before installing or playing I.M. Meen. If your 
computer opens Windows automatically, go to the Program Manager 
and choose Close (Alt-F4). Then click OK to end your Windows 
session. This will send you into DOS. I.M. Meen is a DOS game, so 
you must install and play it within DOS. You cannot do it from DOS 
within Windows.

3. In DOS, at the C:\> prompt, type D: (the letter of your CD-ROM 
drive - usually D - followed by a colon). Then press the Enter key.

4. At the D:\> prompt type INSTALL. Then press the Enter key.

5. The I.M. Meen Setup screen will appear. Follow the on screen 
instructions to:
	
	A. Select MIDI Music Driver. Choose this option, then 
select your sound card. You will then be given options to: 1.) 
Configure your sound driver automatically. 2.) Configure your sound 
driver manually. 3.) Select a different sound driver. 4.) Ask for Help.

of the time. If the device is successfully detected, click OK and

	C. Make Boot Disk. You may skip this option if you have an 
8 MB machine. If you have a 4 MB machine, a Boot disk may be 
helpful or necessary to play I.M. Meen. It will allow you to start your 
computer with a minimum of system overhead and free up enough 
RAM to allow you to play I.M. Meen. To make a Boot Disk, select 
this option and place a formatted 
1.4 MB floppy disk into your floppy drive. Then press the Enter key.
