Readme File for SPEC OPS(tm) March '98
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPEC OPS Rangers:
Thanks for demoing/buying our game. Over two years of design and development went into the
making of SPEC OPS. Have fun playing it! SPEC OPS is designed to be a series of titles based
on Special Operations units from all over the world - SAS, Delta, GSG9, Navy Seals, etc. Tell
us how you liked the game what you want to see next!

Check Our Wesites for Patches!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We received some great feedback from players on the net demo. As a result we added MOUSE
CONTROL, and a mission TIMER OVERIDE. We're dedicated to continuing to improve SPEC OPS.
Visit our websites for patches for other enhancements!

LATE BREAKING NEWS FOR VOODOO 2 OWNERS!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voodoo 2 boards went on sale just after we released SPEC OPS to manufacture. We tested it on
Voodoo 2 and it looks awesome! If you have a Voodoo 2, do not install the 3dfx Glide 2.43
drivers we have included - just use the drivers you installed with your new Voodoo 2.
There is a list of 3Dfx board manufacturers web addresses at the bottom of this Read Me if you
have any difficulties with your 3Dfx card.

COMPATIBILITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPEC OPS was designed for 3Dfx - we engineered the game to run well, even on a slower
Pentium processor. The "software" version of the game requires a faster processor
to perform best.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to run the hardware accelerated version of the game, you will need a hardware
accelerator card with the 3Dfx chipset. If you are unsure whether or not you have a 3Dfx
card installed, please see the list below in TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION, under 3Dfx
contact information.
The installation procedure will prompt you to install the following onto your machine:
- Spec Ops(tm)
- Indeo(r) Video Codec to play the movies
- Direct X 5.0
- Prompt to install the 3Dfx drivers. This is only necessary if the game will not run
after you do the install. The 3Dfx drivers are located in your Start Menu/Programs/SpecOps.
You will need to restart your machine after installing the drivers.
After you have installed the game, go to your start menu/programs/Spec Ops. There you
will find the options to run either the 3Dfx version of the game, or the software only
version.
**Please Note** - If you have a joystick plugged into your machine, you must unplug it
and restart your machine before playing the game. The keyboard commands will not work if
you have a joystick plugged in.

* END - Follow Me!
(Default mode) This mode tells Ranger Two to close in on you and follow.

a while to catch up to Ranger One if Ranger One goes to a fast run.

try to stay close.
