                                 ABOUT
===============================================================================


Apocalyptic Quest is a fanmade unofficial sequel for a RPG known as FALLOUT: 
A Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game, located in the wastelands of future's
Australia. 

The current version is only a second alpha-version which does not contain
anything to play but it gives an image of this game. Complete game's 
release date is uncertain.

Apocalyptic Quest has been written with programming language called AGI
and it uses AGI-interpreters which has been modified to support Mouse.

Mouse is not only supported it is also required unlike in many other
AGI-games.
