- ======================================
-
- This text file has been split into three sections for ease of use :
-
- Section 1 - Using Game Base
- Section 2 - Other ARM Club products
- Section 3 - The ARM Club
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Section 1 - Using Game Base
- ===========================
-
- Game Base has been written to complement the GameOn! application from The
- ARM Club. With GameOn! installed users of the Acorn Risc PC are able to run
- many games which would otherwise not work.
-
- In order to load the Game Base application simply double click on the
- !GameBase icon. Game Base will then be installed on the icon bar. Clicking
- select over the Game Base icon on the icon bar will open the main database
- window.
-
- Clicking menu over the Game Base window results in the database menu being
- displayed. To find a particular game or application you can do one of four
- things. Firstly, you can drag an application icon to the box in the bottom
- left corner of the window. Secondly, you can click on the search icon, or
- select the Search option from the menu, and enter the name of the software
- that you are looking for. Thirdly, you can step through the entries one by
- one using the double left and right arrow icons and, finally, you can go to
- a specific record by selecting the Goto option from the menu and entering a
- record number.
-
- To print a copy of the database, load !Printers (this can usually be found
- by clicking on the hard disc icon and double clicking on the Printing
- directory in the window that appears on the screen) and select the Print
- option from the database menu.
-
- The comment field provides additional information about the compatibility of
- some products. For example, if a game works without Game On! installed, but
- runs too fast, a note to that effect will be shown in the comment field.
-
- A few games require small modifications before they will work. If a game
- needs to be modified before it will run and Game On! can carry out that
- modification, this will be detailed in the comment field. Games are
- modified by dragging the application icon to the box in the bottom right
- corner of the window.
-
- NOTE : The ARM Club offers no Guarantee that the "Programs" file contained
- within this application is correct in every detail.
- Should you notice any errors within the data contained within the
- database, please send details of them to The ARM Club's FREEPOST
- address (at the bottom of this file) so as we may make the necessary
- corrections.
