INTRODUCTION:
Have you ever felt the rush of 50,000 volts as an electric shock jolts
through your body? Have you ever been tormented by angry pillows in
the middle of the night? Have you ever fallen off a six story platform
and lived to tell about it? Not many people have, but you will... So
put on your jogging shoes and say goodbye to your next of kin, because
you have an appointment with the doctor!
Welcome to Dr. Sleeptite And The Nightmare Factory.
Deep in the heart of the Mojave Desert, the mad Dr. Sleeptite has been
hard at work developing a machine that creates nightmares. No one knows
where the doctor is, but his automated underground complex still
continues to produce its fiendish product.
Your job (as Restless Ralph Runabout) is to traverse six levels of Dr.
Sleeptite's Nightmare Factory, to destroy his Nightmare Capsules, and
attempt to shutdown his Dream Machine. Sound easy? Not when you're
being chased about by the doctor's first invention: Killer Pillows!
RUNNING DRSLEEP

computer is at the A: prompt. Insert your Dr. Sleeptite And The
Nightmare Factory Disk in drive A: and type DRSLEEP followed by

If you have a hard disk, you can install DRSLEEP in any directory you

TO THE END USER:
Creating quality software is a time consuming and very expensive
process. To maintain high quality software standards, software authors
are forced to constantly upgrade their development tools; both hardware

than not, one that is not readily affordable to the software developer.

copy of this software in your possession) you are requested to send the
nominal fee of $5.00 (or the foreign equivalent) to the software
author. Having paid a software distributor a "copying" or
"distribution" fee etc. does not release you from this obligation if
you decide to keep and/or use the software.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO PAY THE ABOVE NOMINAL SOFTWARE PURCHASE FEE, YOU
ARE REQUIRED TO DESTROY (OR PASS ON TO SOMEONE ELSE) ALL COPIES OF THIS
SOFTWARE IN YOUR POSSESSION.
