- Note
- ----
-
- The game panels and texts may flicker if you run the game with CGX V3 on some boards. This is dued
- to a bug in the CGX V3 doublebuffering routines. These problems are not present if you use Picasso96,
- if you run the game on the WB screen or if you disable the double buffering in the video configuration
- of the game (in the commercial version).
