Title                   : Hamlet - The Old Text Comes Alive
Filename                : HAMLET.WAD
Author                  : Mark Raine
Misc. author info       : Also the author of CARPET.WAD and FAME.WAD.

Description             : The world of theatre has fallen into alien
                          hands. You must appear both on stage and
                          in the audience.

Some words on the way   : I don't know if it's in bad taste to quote
                          Shakespeare here, but here are some appropriate
                          lines from Hamlet:
                          "Whether 't is nobler in the mind to suffer
                          The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
                          Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
                          And by opposing end them?"

Some more words         : The ghost in Hamlet says:
                          "I am thy father's spirit;
                          Doom'd for a certain term to walk the night,
                          And for the day confined to fast in fires."

Not quite 'nuff said:   : Lend the sweet Ophelia thy ear:
                          "Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced;
                          No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd
                          Ungarter'd, and down gyved to his ancle;
                          Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other;
                          And with a look so piteous in purport
                          As if he had been loosed out of hell
                          To speak of horrors, he comes before me."

King James              : "And he shall be as the light of the morning,
                          when the sun riseth,
                          even a morning without clouds;
                          as the tender grass springing out of the earth
                          by clear shining after rain."
