- All but SPACEVAD (which is a very good copy of Space Invaders) and 3-DEMON
- can be played without a colors graphics card. Most can be turned on by typing
- the first part of the filename at the appropriate prompt, A> or B>, denoting
- the drive where this disk resides. For example, to pull PACKGAL.COM or
- BUGS.EXE, excellent multi-screen versions of Ms. Pacman and Centipede, from
- magnetic dormancy into kinetic animation, simply type PACKGAL or BUGS and hit
- the return key.

- The program for BOOGERS! is not so easy to get running because it is not
- written in COMPILED BASIC. I am bewildered by this and can offer no
- verifiable explanation. This recurrent obscurity is caused either by the
- opinion that anybody of any worth already knows you HAVE to load BASIC before
- you load a file that ends in BAS, or the lack of any opinion about people
- caused by excessive time spent with computers. Anyway, you have to enter the
- drive that your DOS is in, then type BASICA, then the drive that the game is
- in, and the name of the game. If you have two drives, basic is in drive A and
- the games disk is in drive B, type:
-
- >A:BASICA B:BOOGERS!
