- DOUBLECROSS (tm)
- ----------------
-
- DoubleCross is a strategy game for two players. The goal is to build a
- solid connection between two sides of the playing board. Each player
- tries to connect their sides while blocking their opponent's attempts
- to do the same.
-
- This program will work with CGA, EGA, Hercules and VGA graphics modes.
- When you run the program, you will be presented with a simple list of
- display modes supported. Simply press the key corresponding to the
- mode of your choice and the game will continue loading. If you do not
- know which type you have, try them all until you eliminate those that
- your computer cannot support. Remember that the graphics get better
- on the EGA and VGA modes.
-
- To start the program, type DBLCROSS at the DOS prompt.
-
- Advanced Information
- --------------------
-
- For CGA displays, DoubleCross uses the high-resolution monochrome mode
- to better show the board and pieces. The VGA support is true 640x480,
- 16-color support and shows much greater detail than the EGA mode.
-
- Any MS-compatible mouse is supported but you can also use the keyboard
- at the same time. This means that one player can use the mouse and the
- other can use the keyboard if you do not like trading the mouse back
- and forth after each turn. We have tried this software with the
- following mouse manufacturers: Microsoft, Logitech, and Genius.
-
- If you try to run this program with a mode that your computer cannot
- support, you will see a blank screen. If this happens, don't panic!
- The game probably has loaded so you can press the 'Q' key to quit. If
- that doesn't work, you might have to reboot the computer. All of
- this should not happen if you correctly identify your computer's
- proper display type.
-
- If you get annoyed at seeing the display menu, you can tell the program
- from DOS when you run it by adding the letter for the display mode on
- the same command line after the program name:
-
- DBLCROSS C - loads in CGA mode
- DBLCROSS H - loads in Hercules mode
- DBLCROSS E - loads in EGA mode
- DBLCROSS V - loads in VGA mode
