+Game Data README for nblood
+---------------------------
+
+nblood actually includes 3 game binaries: nblood itself, rednukem,
+and pcexhumed.
+
+
+nblood
+======
+
+The nblood binary plays only Blood version 1.21, and its add-on, Cryptic
+Passage. You'll need the "One Unit Whole Blood" CD-ROM: this is the only
+version of the game supported by nblood.
+
+If you want to include the game data in the nblood package:
+
+- First, install system/isextract. This is needed to extract the data.
+
+- Mount the CD-ROM (anywhere) before running the SlackBuild and the
+ build script will find the data there.
+
+- If you have an ISO image instead of a disc, just copy or symlink the .iso
+ file into the SlackBuild directory (no need to mount anything).
+
+If you have an installed copy of the game rather than a CD or ISO,
+you should be able to just copy it to /usr/share/games/nblood. Filename
+upper/lower case doesn't matter.
+
+If you're working from the original CD, you can also rip the audio
+tracks and convert them to ogg or flac. Follow the instructions in
+/usr/doc/nblood-$VERSION/README.md to hear them in the game.
+
+
+rednukem
+========
+
+The rednukem binary plays Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition v1.5 and
+possibly (untested) the Plutonium Pak. It does *not* play the
+shareware Duke Nukem 3D.
+
+For Atomic Edition, all you need is the DUKE3D.GRP file from the install
+CD (mine's in atominst/ on the CD) or an installed copy of the game. It's
+44356548 bytes long and has an md5sum of 22b6938fe767e5cc57d1fe13080cd522.
+Copy this file to /usr/share/games/eduke32/ (no, that's not a typo,
+rednukem uses eduke32's data directory). The filename actually doesn't
+matter, rednukem uses the checksum to detect it.
+
+rednukem may also be able to play the Duke Nukem 3D addons such as
+"Duke it out in D.C.", "Life's a Beach", or "Nuclear Winter". Also
+possibly other games such as "Nam", "Napalm", "WWII GI", "Platoon
+Leader", "Redneck Rampage", and "Redneck Rampage Rides Again". None of
+these have been tested by the SlackBuild author.
+
+
+pcexhumed
+=========
+
+The pcexhumed binary plays:
+
+- Powerslave demo version. Install the powerslave_demo_data build to
+ play this.
+
+- The PC version of Exhumed. All I have is the demo version, and it fails
+ to play for me so I didn't make a package for it.
+
+- Supposedly the full versions of Powerslave and Exhumed are supported,
+ if you can find copies to try. Untested.
