Modified again Dec 8 99 to correct speed on even faster PCs. A slight bug in my last fix prevented it from working... now it should be good forever.

Welcome to the world of Door-to-Door sales!
People hate door-to-door salesmen, and some go to extreme lengths to make them feel unwelcome. Many salesmen just give up in cases like this.
Enter our hero.
Super Sales Acer is determined not to let a few little obstacles stop him. He vows to make his sale!
The game.
Super Sales Acer requires a reasonable IBM clone. I've run it on a 4 MHZ XT, but it's a tad slow.
You NEED VGA. (I'm not sure why I wrote this, since it supports CGA...)
To run the game, enter "SALEACER" at the DOS prompt.
The object of every level is to touch all the special bricks and turn them into ordinary ones. Why? Wouldn't be much of a game otherwise. Avoid everything that moves... here are the enemies to watch for:
Rat - runs randomly back and forth, can't make up his mind. Likes to nibble toes.
Crab - wanders back and forth
Bomb - walks hesitantly towards you, fuse ignites when close. Get away! He WILL explode! :)
Trap - large bear traps with sharp teeth waiting for a careless salesman
Crystal - large, pretty, and very sharp. Jump over them.
Icicle - will fall when you get close
Spot - the pet of the home, guarding the door
You can also ride on moving platforms to get where you need to go. often you will have to. Stay out of the water and the lava - salesmen don't like either one.
If you finish the ninth level (getting past Spot), you make it to the door. You'll get some information, too.
Keys:
E = up
S = left D = right
X = down
SPACE = jump
Press a movement key ONCE to move - DO NOT hold it down!! Press the same key AGAIN to stop.
If you don't like these keys, write me and complain. :)
-
Sometimes pops up on top of platforms you didn't think you could jump up to. -- That's not a bug, that's a feature!! :)
-
Graphics sometimes garble when two moving objects overlap (or come close). -- Yeah. That sucks.
