22 Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're a
23 sysadmin, and someone's trying to destroy your comput- ers.
24 The little people running around the screen are try- ing to
25 infect your computers with Wingdows [[TM], a virus cleverly
26 designed to resemble a popular operating system. Your
27 objective is to click the mouse on them, ending their
28 potential threat. If one of the people reaches a comput- er,
29 it will attempt to replace your operating system with the
30 virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the screen
31 with your vital software. The game ends when only 0 or 1 of
32 your computers is being productive. Additional- ly, some
33 computers are connected with network cables. When one
34 computer on a network becomes infected, a spark will be sent
35 down the cable, and will infect the computer on the other
36 end when it reaches there.

39 Clicking the button on one of the little people will cause
40 it to cry out in pain and melt (id software eat your heart
41 out!), dropping the stolen os if it is carrying one. If a
42 computer is running Wingdows or is temporarily off, the os
43 can be dragged back to the computer (or another computer
44 compatible with that os). To extinguish a spark drag the
45 bucket of water from the upper left corner onto
46 it.
