Return to Chaos is my Windows version of the FTL classic "Dungeon Master" 
and its sequal "Chaos Strikes Back", originaly released on the Atari ST 
and Amiga in 1987. Whilst I make no claim to the idea, graphics or sounds, 
the program itself was entirely written by myself; mostly as a work avoidance 
tactic in my final couple of months at university. It is the first and only 
game I have ever writen; please be tolerant with any bugs you find! I wish 
to thank those denizens of the 'Net who have tested the game to exhaustion - 
I hope playing this game brings as much pleasure to you as as it did to me
whilst writing it. Good luck and have fun.

To begin the game double click on the RTC.EXE icon from within your desktop. 
This will bring up a menu with a list of available dungeons to explore; 
"Dungeon Master (Return To Chaos)" is the recommended dungeon for beginners, 
but there are many more. Once you have selected your dungeon, the game will 
load and you will be waiting at the dungeon entrance. To begin a new game 
select "Enter", to resume a previously saved game select "Resume" with all 
other operations being accessed by clicking on the scroll in the bottom 
right hand corner of the screen.

- Full instructions are given in the "Manual" folder
- Configuration options are given in the file "config.txt"
- A guide to creating your own dungeons is given in the file "editing.txt"
- A GUI editor for new dungeons is available by clicking on "RTCEditor.exe".
