AMIGA BIZNES v2.0
	=================

	The game was written between 1998-2000 by FARTHING SOFTWARE, and this version
	was (for some time) intended for personal use by "testers,"
	meaning the author's friends. ;)

	Writing this in the year 2025, as far as I know, I was the only person in the
	world who possessed this copy. The copy that allows full gameplay.

	So I thought it was high time to make it available to the world so that it would
	not be forgotten along with me, especially since the Internet seems to have no
	knowledge or memory of its existence. Besides, it's a really good piece of
	production - it will certainly appeal to fans of multiplayer board and
	economic games.

	The game is fully playable in Polish and English (a separate copy
	prepared by me). Most information regarding requirements and gameplay
	can be found in the `.guide` file prepared by the author for version 2.2.

	Yes, there is a publicly released version 2.2 - unfortunately, it is a
	demo version with a time limit, and the full version's source code
	has been lost. You can read more details in the aforementioned `.guide` file.
	Secretly, I hope someone will like the game so much that they will attempt
	to crack version 2.2... :)

	Anyway, the version you are receiving is unfortunately version 2.0, which lacks
	some functions (e.g., game options). I have not tested all
	available settings, options, system configurations, and Amiga models,
	so it is possible that not everything will work everywhere. System support
	for PNG files is definitely required - without it, the game will freeze
	when loading, but you can convert everything to ILBM (though the game
	will take up more CHIP RAM).

	Additionally, the game contains elements strictly prepared for my private copy,
	such as a player list, pawn graphics, sounds, and similar elements,
	but of course, everything can be removed or modified (the files are
	completely open).

	Known bugs and missing elements:

	* Clicking on spaces before starting a new game may cause a freeze.
	* Complete lack of "program preferences", while "game preferences" are limited.
  	  Loading settings does not work.
	* No changing highlight for arrows in the "?" space and "+ -" markers.
	  I remember it worked in one version, but not in this one. :(
	* When a player lands on a "?" space and draws a negative event,
	  both negative and positive sounds are played.
	* It is possible to start a game without loading any player or entering a name.
	  Not recommended.
	* Although each player can have a separate "avatar"
	  (`data/gfx/players/faces` directory), displaying them may cause a constant
	  modification of the entire game's palette (even if they use the same one).
	  I selected example images to minimize this.
	* When designing/modifying graphics - theoretically (according to the
	  attached guide), each game graphic element can have a different palette.
	  But this is a version 2.2 feature. Therefore, I recommend sticking to
	  one fixed palette, as otherwise, things may get mixed up in an unpleasant way.
	* Popup notifications are not centered and may appear in different
	  places on the board.
	* It seems that the AI player of the "program" type crashes the game.
	* Displaying the New Game window may take a while.
	  Probably not a bug, but just a heads-up. :)

	Unfortunately, the source code has been lost in the depths of `NIL:`,
	so for now, these inconveniences must be accepted.

	Anyway, I hope you will have fun! :)
