This game utilizes REAL SOUND for the PC speaker (not too bad!).... But if
you wish to use an Adlib Board you must run your SOUND.COM driver before
executing the game! The game will automatically recognize EGA/VGA and
if you have SOUND.COM loaded into memory for the AdLib board! However, to
customize start-ups, glance at the following list.
To run the game in CGA:
S101 CGA
To run the game with a Roland MT-32:
S101 MT32
To disable color cycling for Color EGA or VGA graphics:
S101 NOCYCLE
To disable the Roland or AdLib and play RealSound:
S101 REALSOUND
To disable RealSound:
S101 NOREALSOUND
Where # is optional, and is a number from 3 to 9. This number will override
the default MIDI IRQ channel 2:
S101 MT32 #
To override default mouse driver:
S101 XMOUSE
