- WING COMMANDER II CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
- 1) Without the Speech Accessory Pack, there is only one place you'll get
- speech in WC2: the first scene of the introduction, where the Emperor and
- Prince Thrakhath discuss their plans for conquering Humanity. Since the
- speech requires 64K of EMS, plus an extra 4K of base memory, you'll
- probably want to go back to the INSTALL program and disable the speech
- once you've seen the introduction.
-
- 2) If you have the minimum memory amount (583,000 bytes), you'll only
- get the basic game features. As your free RAM increases, you get more
- and more "extras", as follows:
- a. If you have selected speech, 4000 bytes are allocated for that.
- b. If you don't have EMS but do have 20,000 bytes beyond the minimum,
- that memory gets allocated for music.
- c. Last, you get extra spaceflight graphics: planets, the jump flash,
- the larger explosions, debris and cockpit damage.
-
- 3) If you have EMS, refer to your documentation for the order in which
- the EMS features are enabled. In particular, note that if you only have
- a little (100K or less) of free EMS, you can have either speech or
- instant replay, but not both.
-
- 4) Please remember that, in all cases except sound, music and speech,
- features are loaded in on a case-by-case basis. That is, the particular
- features you get may change from mission to mission as your memory
- allocation changes.
-
- 5) We have extensively playtested WC2 under MS-DOS 5.0, and recommend it
- highly. You should be able to get 583,000 bytes free on a machine running
- MS-DOS 4.01, and we've taken care to make the game run well in that
- configuration, but upgrading to 5.0 will increase not only your
- free RAM but also your enjoyment of Wing Commander II! Contact the dealer
- from whom you purchased this game to find out more about MS-DOS 5.0.
-
-
- ENJOY YOUR GAME!
