- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS
- ---------------------------------
-
- This demo requires a 80386 processor and 570 000 bytes of
- free conventional memory.
-
- With Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro you will need an
- additional 1 megabyte of EMS. With the Gravis UltraSound
- and the No Sound-option no EMS is needed. You can choose
- the desired sound card and the mixing frequency from the
- SETUP screen when you run the demo.
-
- To be able to really experience this demo, we recommend that
- you have a 486-based machine, a fast VGA card and a sound card.
- If your machine is 386-based, the demo will work, but many
- parts slow down and the demo simply looks worse.
-
- If you have a DOLBY SURROUND decoder/amplifier hooked up to
- your hi-fi set, have it on-line while running this demo and
- you will get some cool surround sound effects.
- (Surprisingly, does not work with the normal Sound Blaster).
-
-
-
- COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
- -----------------------
-
- You can start the demo from five different points by adding
- a correct command line parameter at your DOS prompt after
- typing the SECOND.EXE (, for example C:\> SECOND 3).
- Here is the list:
-
- 1 Starts the demo from the very beginning
- (the same as without any parameter)
- 2 Starts from the title screen
- 3 Starts from the landscape scroller
- 4 Starts from the vectorpart
- 5 Starts from the end credits
-
- If you want to run this demo in an endless loop, for example
- at a computer exhibition, be sure to enable the Loop-option.
- When looping, the end scroller will not be displayed, and the
- demo will restart automatically after the credits.
-
- You can find more information and a few hints from the SETUP-
- screen by running the SECOND.EXE.
