- Welcome to the PC Games CD-ROM! Each month we bring you a selection of demos
- of the latest new games. The Welcome screen lists all of the disc's demos and
- what platforms you can play them on at a quick glance. Just toggle down with
- the green arrows to see the complete list. For a narrated introduction, click
- on the Greetings button to hear from our disc editor. Then click on the Take
- Me to your Demos button to browse the full demo selection.
-
- Clicking on the demo graphic takes you to an Information screen that lists
- the system requirements, order and technical support phone numbers, and a
- short description-everything you'd want to know in one place. We've even made
- the ReadMe files instantly available, with an option to print. From the
- Information screen click on the Play button for demos that run directly from
- the interface, or click on the Install button for demos that require an
- installation routine. Each DOS demo has a pop-up screen with installation
- instructions and file paths. You can even print this list for easy reference.

- A few notes on how the PC Games CD-ROM operates:
- 1. The installation will not copy any files to your hard drive. It
- will create a PC Games group and install icons for the interface
- and this readme file.
- 2. If you don't have Video for Windows and Quicktime for Windows
- installed on your computer, they are included on the CD-ROM.
- Video for Windows 1.1e is located in the directory VFW11E; to
- install it, run "d:\vfw11e\setup.exe". Quicktime 2.1.1 is located
- in QTW211; to install it, run "d:\qtw211\setup.exe".
- 3. Even if you have VfW and QTW installed, you should install both to
- be sure that you have all the latest files.
- 4. To uninstall the PC Games CD-ROM, run "d:\uninstall.exe". The
- uninstall program will remove the PC Games icon and the readme icon
- and then delete the PC Games group.
- 5. There are several programs on this disc that must be installed before
- they can be played. To install these games, the PC Games interface
- will copy the program files to a directory of your choice on your
- hard drive. The appropriate setup program will be executed from the
- hard drive.
- 6. Minimum system requirements to run the interface:
- 486, 640x480 VGA, 4MB RAM, major sound cards, double-speed
- CD-ROM drive
