- Spades v3.0 by Spaceways
-
- Notes:
- You must have a 286 or better IBM-type computer
- and a VGA card to play this game. You must have all the files listed
- in FILES.LST. If you do not have these things, the game will not run.
- If you find the game will not run, and you already meet all these
- conditions, try starting it by typing "Go2". This loads a universal
- VESA driver, and unloads it when the program is finished. If both of
- these fail, or if you know that your video card only has 256k of
- memory, start the game by typing "Go3". This loads the standard VGA
- version of the game <you'll need this for PS1's, some of the Cirrus VLB
- boards, and most 286 systems>.
- We keep updates as available on America Online and Exec-PC and
- our home BBS, listed below, 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 Current Time, at 512-451-8308.
