 Control your lawnmower and cut all the grass of the lawn avoiding obstacles and paying attention on how much fuel
 you are using. 

 Check news on Atariage forum for the final version, with more levels and multiplayer mode over Comlinx (probably
 as phisical cart release).

 The contest for the best lawnmower is open and you want to win the first prize.
 First train yourself with nine basic lawns then enter the competition trying to mow 23 of the worst lawns of the 
 city. To be a pro mower remember to cut only the grass because flowers and other obstacles will make you only
 lose fuel. 

 Don't hurt the moles if you don't want to be disqualified, but if you close their holes they will stop disturbing
 you

 If you are short of fuel find a tank before it is over; some special tanks have less fuel but contain additives
 that give you bonus powers for a limited time.

 There are three difficulty levels: it is better to practice with the easy one before trying the others.

 Good luck!

 Lawnmower for Atari Lynx can be played on a real Atari Lynx writing an programmable Lynx cart of at least 256 KB
 with the lawnmower.lnx file (removing the starting 64 bytes header),  or using a RetroHD SD cart.

 It can also be played on Lynx emulators, but most emulators will have sound issues. 

 The game saves higscores if a Lynx cart with an extra 128 bytes EEPROM chip is in  use. Emulators need to support 
 EEPROM emulation.
 
 To enable saves on a RetroHQ SD cart, a file named lawnmower.sav of 128 bytes must be created on the SD in the
 /saves/ folder (the content of the file is not important and will be overwritten at first use).
