RELEASE NOTES

Powerslave is a 3D first person perspective action/adventure game
based in Ancient Egypt. This game uses the much-acclaimed 3D Realms
3D game engine, which allows for many great special effects and
a smooth feel to the game. Fans of Duke Nukem and Rise of the
Triad should happy with this game, since it uses many of the very
same features, and a few new ones too.

Some of the features include:

Customizable joystick/keyboard keys (support for double clicking)
Full network & modem support
10 different weapons
Heads up command line prompt for codes/shortcuts
Separate Windows95 supported .EXE file

Powerslave is by no means a Quake killer, or even a threat to
Duke Nukem 3D. However it's loaded with dozens of levels, lots
of different weapons and items, and puts a unique spin on whats
quickly becoming an overcrowded game genre.

We tested this game extensively to insure that it works perfectly.
We even had the time to throw in a txt file with some of the cheat
codes for all you impatient gamers. :)  You can find the cheat
codes, as well as some command-line shortcuts, contained in the
CHEAT.TXT file in the first disk of this release.

Oh and don't forget to grab our last release too, FIFA Soccer '97!

Enjoy!

What was ripped out:

CD Audio tracks..

Everything else is there, sound, movies, etc..

Insert your favorite audio CD for ingame music. (No Yanni please!)

Installation:

To install this game, simply un-RAR the archives with the included
RAR.EXE program using the following command line:

RAR X PWRSLAVE.001 X:\ (Where "X" is the drive letter.. duh!)

After its extracted to the HD, make sure and run SETUP.EXE to
configure the game.

GROUP NEWS

We would like to welcome our most recent additions to the Paradigm
family: IRON HELIX and MERCURY 6!

(10/21/96)

As you can clearly see, the group formerly known as 'ZEUS' has
finally chosen its new name. We feel that our new name is
symbolic of what we have set out to do with our group. The main
goal of this new group is to re-instill the sense of quality and
professionalism that was once associated with major game release
groups. We intend to take full responsibility for our actions and
assert our objectives so that all in the scene can expect a high
level of quality associated with our releases.

To help illustrate this point, here are the goals we intend to
fulfill in our release process:

1.)  No CD-RAPES

Some games are best left unripped and we don't intend on
raping games just for the sake of a release. We feel that
if a game can't be stripped down to an enjoyable version,
its not worth releasing.

2.)  No KIDDY games

At Paradigm, we feel kiddy games should be best left to
groups that specialize in those games, since they typically
do not appeal to any real fans of the game scene.

3.)  No BUDGET titles

You may be asking yourself why certain game release groups
must resort to releasing below-standard, and sometimes
just plain cheezy games. Many of these games can be found
in the $10 game basket at your local CompUSA or OfficeDepot.
We feel this problem stems from a serious lack of
professionalism, and Paradigm will refrain from releasing
those types of titles, and instead leave them for lesser
groups to gobble up.

4.)  No RE-releases

If a game has been put out and its v1.0 or newer, that's
a good indication that it's a final and working version.
As we have stated before, we are not desperate for
releases. We will always release final versions of games
we get, and don't intend to "finalize" any release just
because we are angry that we lost on the original release.

5.)  No NON-WORKING releases

Unworking releases are the single most irritating thing
people in the scene have to deal with. Allowing this to
happen at a constant rate is a disgrace to the scene, and
should not be tolerated by any major game release group
out there. Many of the bad rips and botched cracks by the
groups in the early days of the CD scene could at least be
attributed to not having prior experience with this new
media. But seeing this still happen on a regular basis by
today's CD release groups can only be the product of sheer
laziness and just not caring enough about the quality of
a release. Paradigm intends to break this trend, and by
doing so, guarantee a level of integrity to all of our
releases, so that people out there don't have to be afraid
of grabbing the latest and greatest release for fear that
it won't work.
