This readme file contains important information regarding the Farscape Game.

*******************************************************************************

IMPORTANT GAME TIP!!

FARSCAPE is a TEAM-BASED ACTION GAME. This means that, unlike most other RPGs you've played, you must manage each member of your team as an individual. Remember, the FARSCAPE crew is a motley band ofrenegades. They are not a trained group of soldiers who know how to think and act as one. So, by design, you must play this game by switching control of your characters often, figuring out the best way to use their different skills and personalities for the task at hand.

Follow these tips and you will find success playing

FARSCAPE:

* Switch character control often between the team members
* Take direct control of the sidekicks to save them in a jam
* Use the current character under control to help the sidekick
* Change the sidekick's state on the interface to flee.
