To run Missions! you need a color-capable Mac with a 13" or larger monitor running any version of System 7. Missions! requires at least 3 Mb of RAM as well. You should also have the latest version of Apple's Hardware System Update extension installed in your System Folder. Version 2.0.1 is included with the game, along with a Read Me file, with the permission of Apple Computer, Inc. To install it, simply drag it into your Extensions folder.
The following files should be present in the same folder:
• The Missions! game application
• Three resource files: Main.rsrc, Planet.rsrc, and Crew.rsrc
If all four files are not in the same folder, the game will tell you and return to the Finder.
Finally, your monitor needs to be set to 256 colors (8-bit). If it is not, an alert box will notify you of this and allow you to change depths, if possible.
Startup
After double-clicking the game icon, the title screen will present you with four options:
• About... will give you information about the game.
• Begin Mission will start the game.
• Preferences will allow you to reset key commands to your liking and adjust the speed of the game for your computer.
• End Mission quits the game and returns to the Finder.
After selecting Begin Mission, you will be presented with the Game Screen, and your mission will commence.
