- **README**
-
- This is a limited demo and as such, it does not contain all of the features and
- gameplay elements which are available in the final product. If you wish to purchase
- the actual game, you can do so by calling 1-800-757-7707 ($54.95).
-
- DIRECTDRAW (fullscreen mode)
-
- The demo will NOT run on your machine if you don't have a Win95 DirectDraw driver
- (Ddraw.dll).
-
- 1. DirectDraw (full screen mode) is available to those who have already installed
- the Win95 DirectX drivers onto your system. If you have not had Win95 DirectX
- drivers installed onto your system, you will NOT be able to run this demo.
-
- If you find yourself unable to run the demo because of this problem, here is what
- you should do:
-
- 1. Find the file "Ddraw.dlx" which is located in the SILENT THUNDER demo folder.
- 2. Rename this file to "Ddraw.dll" (leave in the same folder where you found it).
- 3. Doubleclick on the green A-10 icon to start the demo.
-
- Once you have renamed the "Ddraw.dlx" file to "Ddraw.dll", you should be able to play
- the demo (in Windows mode only, NOT fullscreen).
-
- *******DO NOT PUT THE RENAMED FILE in any folder other than the SILENT THUNDER demo

- GAME PLAY TIPS
-
- This demo is a very limited look at one of the worlds from the game, SILENT THUNDER.
- The demo is NOT an actual mission. It is simply designed to give you a small taste of
- the final product. Be careful of enemies on the ground, watch out for SAM sites and
- beware of the HIND that is heading your way....
-
- 1. Before you start playing make sure that you have calibrated your joystick within
- Win95
-
- 2. If you don't have a joystick, you can still play the game with the arrow keys
- and other keys on your keyboard.
-
- 3. Once you start the game, press enter to lose the dialog box.
-
- 4. For PREFERENCES, hit "SHIFT P". To use your joystick, select the joystick
- preference box, click OK and have fun! Some of the preference buttons have been
- deactivated in this demo only.
