REALSOUND INFORMATION
RealSound is a patent-pending technological breakthrough that allows your
MS DOS computer to play high quality digitized sounds such as speech, music
and sound effects without adding any hardware. All the sounds in this game
are produced with RealSound. The quality of the sound you hear is dependent
on several factors:
1. SPEAKER SIZE AND PLACEMENT- MS DOS computer manufacturers have always felt
that high quality digitized sound was impossible, and therefore have never paid
much attention to the speaker. The volume and quality of the sound will be
affected by the location and size of the speaker and by the speaker enclosure.
2. CPU SPEED- Computers with clock speeds greater than 6 MHZ (such as turbo)
will tend to have slightly higher quality sound than slower machines.
When sound is playing, a fixed portion of the CPU time is being used to
manipulate the speaker. On slower machines (80286 with 6MHZ clock or slower),
a slow down may occur when sound is playing and large blocks of graphics are
being moved around on screen. To help compensate for this problem, the
program tests the speed of the computer and if necessary, deletes or delays
selected portions of animations while sound is playing. In some situations
the program may delete certain sounds to avoid a conflict with graphics.
