- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- =========================
- Go to your CD-ROM drive letter in DOS:
- you can do this by typing either
- "d:" or "e:" (enter), depending on your configuration.
-
- Type "start" and press enter.
- Once in the main menu, hit enter to bring up the menu of games.
- To select a game, use the up/down arrow keys and press enter, or
- just double-click with the left mouse button.
-
- You can either install the selected game to your hard drive or you
- can run it directly from the CD, without installing it (if that
- option appears for that game).
-
- If you run the game from the CD, there is a chance that it may crash,
- because some games try to write data back to the game files, and this
- is not possible as CD's are "read-only".
-
- To install a game to your hard drive, click on the "Check details"
- button - this tells you in which drive and directory the files are
- going to be copied into. Go back into the main menu and then click
- on "Run program from Hard Drive" button. The game should automatically
- start after installation.

- TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
- =====================
-
- My mouse does not work
- ----------------------
- You may not have your DOS mouse driver installed.
- Go into either the c:\dos or c:\dos\mouse or c:\mouse directories
- and type "mouse" to install the driver.
-
-
- When trying to run the game, I get an "out of memory" error message.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. Try doing a clean boot so that none of your device drivers are installed.
- Boot up your system and when the screen reads "Starting MS DOS", hit the
- F5 key. This basically bypasses the autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
- Try running the game now.
- Note: Because you did a clean boot, you will not have access to your
- CD-ROM drive or sound card, until you do a normal boot (ie without pressing
- the F5 key).
-
- 2. If you want to use your sound card, do a selective boot by repeating the
- above, except press the F8 key. Enter "N" to everything except the lines
- pertaining to your sound drivers (eg. set blaster....).
-
- 3. Make sure that you do not have Windows running in the background.
- To check for this, type "exit" at the c:\ prompt. If this takes you into
- Windows, exit Windows.
-
- 4. Ensure that your device drivers are loaded into upper memory.
- Consult your DOS manuals on how to do this.
-
-
- After the game installs, it just leaves me in the game directory.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Type "dir *.exe" (enter).
- There should be a list of file(s) ending with .exe.
- Type in the name of the file ending in .exe to run the game.
-
-
- How do I delete a game once it has been installed onto my hard drive ?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Go to the c:\ prompt and type "cd\" (enter).
- To delete a directory containing files, use the deltree command:
- For example, to delete a directory called "anygame", type:
- "deltree anygame" (enter) at the c:\ prompt.
-
-
- I can't seem to exit the game.
- ------------------------------
- Try hitting the "ESC" key or "ctrl+c" or "ctrl+q" or "break" or
- "ctrl+break" or "alt+x".
-
-
- How do I get to the root of the d:\ or e:\ drive ?
- --------------------------------------------------
- Type "cd\" (enter).
