- SLIDE SHOW
-
- SLIDE SHOW is a demonstration program that shows a set of
- pictures. These pictures were generated using the Icon Color
- Graphics System. The program is designed to run on the IBM PC
- (or true compatibles) with either a standard color graphics card
- or a IBM compatible color card. You can use either an RGB
- monitor or a TV for display. The program will also run on a PC
- jr. Note: the program will not run on a system that uses a
- monochrome card.
-
- TO RUN THE PROGRAM: Type SSDEMO and press the ENTER key. You
- will then be asked whether you are using an RGB monitor. If you
- are using a TV with an RF converter or a composite monitor, enter
- N or NO. The program will proceed to display a set of color
- graphics pictures. To leave the program, press ESC and you will
- be returned to DOS.
-
- FEATURES: SLIDE SHOW illustrates the use of an undocumented
- color graphics mode which, together with certain routines,
- signifcantly enhances the color graphics capability of the IBM
- PC.

- DEMO ICON: QUEST FOR THE RING PROGRAM
-
-
- The Demo runs on the IBM PC (or true compatibles) with either a
- standard color graphics card or a IBM compatible color card. You
- can use either an RGB monitor or a TV for display. The program
- will also run on a PC jr. Note: the program will not run on a

-
- The Demo ICON program is a very abbreviated fragment of the
- adventure ICON: QUEST FOR THE RING. The demo lacks a large
- number of features contained in the actual adventure. The number
- and variety of creatures and characters have been severely
- limited; the playing area has been reduced; there is only one
- level; only a single normal sword is available as a weapon;
- there are no treasures; the entire cosmic plot has been removed;
- animated plot scenes have been ommitted; story screens are
- absent; etc. Despite these omissions, the fragment remains
- playable as a an arcade style combat game. For information on
- how to get a copy of the actual ICON: QUEST FOR THE RING, see the
- end of this file.
-
- RUNNING THE ICON DEMO. To start the game, type in ICONDEMO after
- the DOS prompt. Then press the ENTER key. Several introductory
- screens will appear. Press the SPACE BAR to move through these
- screens. Once you are in the game proper press the F1 key to get
- to the HELP screen. Note: if you have a joy stick, you can
- enable the joystick by pressing the J key and then following the
- instructions that appear on the screen. Pressing ESC will
- terminate the game.
-
- FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COMMANDS, ETC. See the document on
- this disk called DEMO.MAN for a more detailed description of the
- commands, health factors, and the point system.
