-
- Hardware requirements :
-
- First the bad news. This game will not run on any PC fitted with
- a Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) or Hercules Graphics Adapter.
-
- Now the good news.
- The game should run perfectly on either CGA , EGA or VGA systems.
- The CGA mode uses an un-documented 16 colour mode allowing
- the same graphics to be produced on all systems.
-
- The speed of the game is not dependant on the processor clock.
-
- The game speed is sychronised with the vertical refresh rate of
- the graphics adapter in use. This means that the speed depends
- slightly on the adapter mode selected.
-
- Memory requirements are minimal, only enough to load the .COM file
- and run. (64K)
-
-
-
-
- Software requirements :
-
- The minimum DOS version required is 2.0.
