ABOUT:
==========================================================================

  The Cat Bros. Fridge Quest is a video game for the Nintendo Game Boy,
Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance that is based on the Cat Bros.
series of comics created by Joe Anderson.

  This video game is designed to be fully compatible with the original
Game Boy hardware. The ".gb" rom file included in this release has been
tested on both an original Game Boy Pocket and an original Game Boy
Color through the use of an EZ-Flash Junior flash cart and has been
found to be completely functional on, and compatible with, both devices.

  This release also includes a ".pocket" file for use with Analogue
Pocket devices and a ".gba" rom file for use with the Game Boy Micro
and the Nintendo DS, but these two files are only included as a bonus
and have not been tested on their original hardware for proper
functionality.

  This game was programmed with GB Studio, a Game Boy software
development program designed by Chris Maltby.

  The Game Boy Advance version of this game was compiled using the
Goomba Color Game Boy Color emulator for the Game Boy Advance that was
designed by Fredrik Olsson and Dan Weiss.

STORY:
==========================================================================

  The Cat Bros. refrigerator has been stolen by Inter-Dimensional Robots
from Outer Space. While the other brothers are content to let their old
fridge go and simply get another one, Belvadare decides to set out on a
quest to reclaim their refrigerator from the robots... With a vengeance.

==========================================================================
LAUNCHING THE GAME:
==========================================================================

  This release includes a version of the BGB Game Boy emulator that
can be used to play The Cat Bros. Fridge Quest on Windows computers.

  To play the game simply double click the "PLAY.bat" file to
automatically launch the correct rom file already pre-loaded into the
BGB emulator.

  If using the .bat file to launch the game is not preferred, then the
game can also be launched in BGB manually through the following steps:

1. Double click on BGB.exe.
2. Right click on the window that opens.
3. Select the "Load ROM..." option.
4. Select the file "FridgeQuest(USA).gb" and select "Open" to
   launch the game.

  Do not open the file "FridgeQuest(USA).pocket" or the file
"FridgeQuest(USA).gba" in the BGB emulator as they are not supported
by BGB. Only the ".gb" file is supported by the BGB emulator.

  For the best experience the Cat Bros. Fridge Quest rom file should
be played with the BGB emulator set to run in Game Boy Color mode.

==========================================================================
PLAYING THE GAME:
==========================================================================

  Squish robots by jumping up and then landing on them, enter doors by
standing in the doorway and then jumping up, and proceed to the next
level by following the arrow signs. There are secret areas as well, so
be sure to explore.
