DESCRIPTION:
-----------
Boggled is my rendition of the classic Parker Brothers game "Boggle".
The object of the game is to find as many words as possible from among
16 lettered cubes. You play against the computer, which has access to
a dictionary of 32,000 words.
This release is a significant upgrade from version 1.0. It includes
SuperVGA (640x480) screens, 3D-rendered graphics, digital sound effects,
user-defined dictionaries and more.
REQUIREMENTS:
------------
A 386/486 processor
DOS 3.0 or greater
SVGA video card with VESA driver/support (640x480x256)
At least 460k of conventional RAM
At least 305k of Extended Memory (XMS) - 912k recommended
Approximately 900k of disk space
Optional sound card (Supports PC Speaker, Sound Blaster & SB Pro,
Adlib & Disney Sound Source)
INSTALLATION:

the main menu while running Boggled.
Three additional files will be created as the game is used. They

All three files are optional and may be deleted when desired.
