Shipwreckers! Single Level Demo
-------------------------------
www.psygnosis.com
This demo may be freely distributed as long as it is not sold above the cost
of its distribution medium and this readme file remains intact.
All contents Copyright 1997, Psygnosis, Ltd.
System Requirements
-------------------
Windows 95
DirectX version 5
Some form of 3D acceleration hardware.
16Mb RAM
4Mb VRAM (it will run with less, but it doesn't look as nice)
3D Accelerator Cards
--------------------
3Dfx Interactive Inc, VooDoo chipset
Orchid, Righteous 3D, VooDoo chipset
Diamond Multimedia, Monster 3D, VooDoo chipset
Diamond Multimedia, Glint
Videologic, PowerVR PCX1
Videologic, PowerVR PCX2
Creative Labs, 3D Blaster
Matrox MGA, Mystique Range
Matrox MGA, Millenium II
For all accelerator cards, please ensure you have the latest drivers (in some
cases later than those supplied with the full version of DirectX 5) as many
of the earlier drivers had minor bugs.
Known problems & tips
---------------------
Occasionally textures fail to load correctly, but switching out to Windows and
back again fixes this.
Because the game doesn't take total control over your machine, running other
applications at the same time can result in severe slow-down. If you want to
get the best performance, close everything else.
If the game is really slow, you can help speed it up by changing the display
settings in the pause menu (or the config file) to remove the sky, the sea, or
to reduce the resolution.
Configuration File
------------------
The configuration file is like most Windows .ini files. The sections most
likely to be worth changing yourself are the player controls, since the demo
version doesn't include the front-end, and hence has no means of changing the
controls. To use a joystick, swap the player 2 section with the player 1
section, and redefine the buttons to your own preference. Most of the rest of
the options can either be changed in game from the pause menu, or have no effect.
