- This game utilizes REAL SOUND for the PC speaker (not too bad!).... But if

- S101 CGA

- To run the game with a Roland MT-32:
- S101 MT32
-
- To disable color cycling for Color EGA or VGA graphics:
- S101 NOCYCLE

- To disable the Roland or AdLib and play RealSound:
- S101 REALSOUND
-
- To disable RealSound:
- S101 NOREALSOUND

- Where # is optional, and is a number from 3 to 9. This number will override
- the default MIDI IRQ channel 2:
