This is the README.TXT file for Astro Rally V1.0 FULL VERSION
September 9, 2000


Astro Rally uses DirectX (versions 7 and up).  This means that Windows 95 and 98 
users (with DirectX installed) can play Astro Rally!
Any computer that can run Windows 95 with DirectX 7 should be able to run Astro Rally 
without any problems.

Astro Rally may slow down or play jerkily if 1) you have a very old video card with
a small amount of RAM (less than 1 meg) or 2) you have another application running which
is doing IO (accessing the hard drive or CD-ROM).

Using ALT-TAB to "switch out" from Astro Rally to another application IS SUPPORTED,
and should not cause any problems.

Some mouse drivers may not work correctly with Astro Rally.  The mouse pointer may be
invisible, or leave garbage behind as it moves around the screen.  Getting the latest
mouse driver from your mouse manufacturer will usually cure this.

Astro Rally ONLY operates in 800x600, 16-bit color mode (hi-color).  If Astro Rally
will not work on your machine, it's probably because;

1) Your machine can't display 800x600, 16-bit color, or
2) You don't have the latest version of DirectX installed.


Technical questions, complaints about the performance of the product, and suggestions
for improvement (which we're always happy to hear) can be E-mailed to

tech@aggressive.to.


Thank you for playing Astro Rally!
