- GEMMA v2.0 by Spaceways
-
- Notes:
- You must have a 286 or better IBM-type computer and a VGA
- card with at least 512k video memory to play this game. You must
- have all the files listed in FILES.LST. If you do not have both of
- these things, the game will not run. We send updates as available
- to America Online, Exec-PC and other major BBSes, and zip files we
- have uploaded to those services will be complete. We fervently hope
- that people who download our programs will pass them along to other BBSes,
- and that they will pass along the complete package, but naturally
- we cannot control what happens when the programs leave our hands.
- If you download this game from a local BBS and it doesn't have all
- its bits, please let your sysop know, but don't bitch and moan too
- hard because sysops have a rough and thankless existence. Our
- complete line of games can be downloaded from Entropy Tango BBS at
- 512-451-3512. (See why we know about the life of a sysop?) After
- all this, if you have everything the game needs and it still refuses
- to run, give our tech-line a call between noon and 9 PM Central
- Standard Time, at 512-451-8308. (But see below first...)
-
-
- Troubleshooting:
-
- These are our most frequently reported problems, so maybe you
- can save the cost of a call by reading on.
- 1. Message to the effect of "Cannot load graphics..." -
- You have less than the necessary 512k of video memory. We're sorry,
- but we can't do a thing about this except tell you how much you'd
- enjoy an upgraded vid card.
- 2. Screen stays black or goes messy -
- Try the other .bat file to start up. This loads the universal VESA
- driver and will make Gemma work just fine on those tricky accelerator
- cards.
- 2B.This still doesn't help -
- You have another VESA driver loaded. Unload it. Check AUTOEXEC.BAT
- or CONFIG.SYS for the problem.
- 3. Your screen is totally white or the computer hangs or freezes -
- You have a corrupt ZIP or are missing some necessary file. Re-download.
- Our home BBS, Entropy Tango, 512-451-3512, will always have the newest
- version available for download on your first login, and you'll be sure
- of having the complete shareware program directly from the source.
