This CD-ROM disc compilation and various other items are
Copyright, 1993, 1994 Aztech New Media Corp.
Thank you for purchasing Aztech's "Super Shareware Games" Collection. This
mini-collection is a sampling of some of the very best shareware games
available today.
All the games on this CD-ROM, except Blake Stone, run directly from the
CD-ROM, although you will not be able to save games or save reconfigure
options (you can't change the contents of a CD-ROM). Blake Stone must
be copied to your hard drive because it determines the configuration of
your machine as it installs itself.
***************************************************************************
***************************************************************************
A menu interface is provided to make your game selections effortless.
To access the menu, simply log on to your CD-ROM drive (eg D:) and type
GO. Then make your selection with the mouse or keyboard.
***************************************************************************
***************************************************************************
NeoSoft Corp. (Bend, Oregon) graciously consented to permit Aztech to use
their unregistered QuikMenu program. It is an elegant, simple and complete
menuing system that was designed for a networking environment. We have set
up all the games into submenus to make your selections effortless.
Please remember, QuikMenu is shareware and if you use it for other than the
pre-determined menuing function of this CD-ROM, you must register QuikMenu
with NeoSoft. You will find all the pertinent details in the QuikMenu
directory. The QUIKMENJ directory contains Aztech's game menu.
The games may be run from the DOS prompt, without using the QuikMenu
program, by changing to the directory of the game that interests you and
then just type RUNME.
It is important to note that the price for this CD-ROM covers only the
the medium, research, assembly, production, packaging, and distribution
costs. The actual intellectual properties (that is, the programs) require
separate payment to the author(s) if you are going to use them. These
programs are "shareware." They are not free unless specifically identified
as such.
Some games want to write a configuration file or a high score file to disk.
Since it is not possible to write information to a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read
Only Memory) any changes you make to the a game's configuration will have
to be done each time you play the game. To overcome this, you will have to
copy the game to your hard disk or to a floppy.
A few of the games may not have a "Quit" or "Exit" command - why? We may
never know. Sometimes the exit command is identified in the documentation -
but who reads documentation? First try the ESC (Escape) key. Then try
holding down the Ctrl (Control) key and pressing, one after the other, Q, W,
E, A, S, D, Z, X, C. Try the same with the Alt key. Failing all these, try
the "BREAK" key or holding down the CTL and/or ALT keys and then pressing
"BREAK." The preceding represent just about every conceivable exit command.
When nothing else works, use the reboot function. Hold down the Ctrl
(Control) and Alt keys at the same time and then press Del (Delete).
