 If you 're looking for an exciting new way to test your game-playing skills, then the Tombstone City game is the answer. Your survival instinct is challenged immediately as you find yourself in the 21st Century in an Old West ghost town threatened by an invading hoard of green alien monsters. These villainous creatures called morgs live off of only two things - tumbleweeds and people.

	''Note:'' There is a limited amount of time to destroy any remaining morgs after all generating pairs of saguaro cactuses have been eliminated. If you find yourself in this limited time period, you must destroy the remaining morgs as fast as possible. Otherwise. the computer will time out, and you will have to restart by turning your computer off and then on again.		''Note:'' There is a limited amount of time to destroy any remaining morgs after all generating pairs of saguaro cactuses have been eliminated. If you find yourself in this limited time period, you must destroy the remaining morgs as fast as possible. Otherwise. the computer will time out, and you will have to restart by turning your computer off and then on again.
		+
		+	====Scoring====
		+	The population (score) increases by 150 for each morg you destroy, and that morg becomes a saguaro. Tumbleweeds are worth 100 points each, and a fresh supply of 20 is generated each time the current 20 are eliminated.
		+
		+	If all adjacent pairs of saguaros and all morgs are destroyed, a New Day begins and the player is awarded an additional schooner and 1,000 bonus points. Each New Day begins with more generating pairs of saguaros than the day before, until a maximum of 30 pairs is reached.
		+
		+	====Strategy====
		+
		+	To plan your next move, be on the lookout for the generation of a new morg. This occurs when the safe area lights up and a white background is placed around the saguaro from which the morg will be produced. As your skills increase, you'll note a definite pattern of morg generation.
		+
		+	===End of the Game===
		+
		+	The game is over when there are no schooners left. To play another game with the same skill level, press '''REDO'''. To play a game at a different skill level, press '''BACK''', and the program returns to the skill selection list. To end a session with the module, press '''QUIT''' to return to the master title screen.
