- DuckHunt 1.0 can be registered On-Line on Compuserve, GO SWREG #1445
-
- To start playing DuckHunt 1.0, create a directory to store the game.
- Then unzip DUCK.ZIP into the directory you created.
- Using FILE RUN
- Type DUCKHUNT to play.
-
-
- NOTE: I HIGHLY recommend removing ANY wallpaper. Also minimizing your shell
- (ie. Program Manager, Norton Desktop, etc.) after starting up the game.
- This should help to improve graphics speed some, and prevent any palette
- shifts that other graphics may cause to DuckHunt 1.0
-
- NOTE: I tried to make the game playable for most machines ( 386-SX thru 486DX2 )
- I check for CPU speed and I also do a Video display test. To determine
- how fast, or slow your video card may be, and ajust the ducks flying speed
- accordingly. The video test occurs when 1 duck passes across the screen
- from right to left before you begin a game.
-
- NOTE: You can ajust the Ducks Flying Speed also. From the Options and Configurations
- screen use the scroll bar to increase the flying speed, or decrease the flying
- speed. I put this configuration in because it was very difficult to check for
- video card speeds. The initial video test should set the flying speed pretty
- close to what it should be. To test your setting, click on the test button to
- see if you like that flight speed for the ducks. When you have a flight speed
- that you like click on GO HUNTING. I was hesitant to allow the user to set the
- duck flying speed, because you can really use it to cheat by slowing the ducks
- down. On the other hand you can always increase the speed for harder levels of
- play, and most importantly ajust to your video card display speed. This gives
- everyone a chance to enjoy the game.
-
- NOTE: There is a MIDI file that plays in the background, if you don't hear the MIDI
- music, you may need to load the MIDI Mapper drivers found in Windows Control Panel.
- I have gotten it to work on most machines by changing the MIDI Mapper settings.
- If you don't get MIDI sound try using the ADLIB drivers, or the General, or Extended
- MIDI drivers.
