Part 1 - Bibliographic Data

The release number is 2.

Use American dialect and the serial comma.

Use scoring.

Release along with cover art ("A pair of black and white ghosts with the game title overlaid."), an interpreter, and the source text.

To say header style:

(- glk_set_style( style_Header ); -).

Rule for printing the banner text while the player is uneducated:

say "[header style][story title][roman type][line break][fake headline]Created by [fake author][line break]Release [release number] / Serial number 221030 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib 6/12N) SD[line break][first time]And here's our host: Bone Vila![line break][only]".

To say fake headline:

say "It's a Halloween extravaganza with special guests, the Property Boo-thers!".

To say fake author:

say "[one of]Russell Monster-Mash, with writing and programming by [or][stopping]Count Fibula[one of].[line break][italic type]A ghoul reads additional programming details almost too fast to follow:[roman type][or][stopping]".

[% Not sure why, but I keep messing with the default banner and banner behavior in my games. At least glossing it to resemble TV credits like this is better than holding it until the end of the game. That seems like a real jerk move.]
