Documentation
=============

uqm has a manpage:

$ man 6 uqm

Read it! It describes the controls and gameplay, and provides extensive
background to the game's story.

Additional narrative is provided when you start a new game--so long as
you don't accidentally skip it by pressing a button.

packages are installed, uqm provides the "vanilla" experience: music
from the MS-DOS version of the game, and no voices.
