Mower Instructions

1. Overview

  The object of mower is to mow all the grass on the level, when that task
has been completed you procede to the next level.  Always watch out for
dogs that chase after you, for if they catch you, you will lose a life.
Avoid mowing flower garden because you will lose points and an angry woman
will chase you, if she catches you, you will lose a life.  Also avoid
mowing fences, you will lose points.
  Several Mower levels contain false walls.  They look just like walls but
they don't block your path.  Some levels can't be passed until you find
the false walls.
  In Mower, you receive 60 points for every square mowed.  You also receive
a time bonus of 50 points per second under the allowed time.  You will
receive a bonus life first at 10000 points, then at 20000, 40000, 80000,
and then every 40000 points after that.
