- Q: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- I have a sound adapter installed but I can't hear any sound.
-
- A: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- 1. Launch the 'SETUP' program and make certain that a sound adapter is
- selected.
- 2. Make certain that the DMA, IRQ and I/O parameters correspond to those
- of the sound adapter.
- 3. Make certain that you aren't running the game from within Windows. The

- from within Windows.

- Q: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- The sound loops abnormally or it simply stops after a moment.
-
- A: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- The Sound adapter is probably not properly configured or is conflicting
- with another device.
-
- 1. Make certain that from within the SETUP program the DMA, IRQ and I/O
- parameters correspond to those of the sound adapter.
- 2. If you selected the correct parameters, your sound adapter is probably
- conflicting with another device within the system.
-
- Material conflicts are generally due to different devices using the same
- resources. These conflicting devices can hinder the system or cause it to
- crash and even cause you to "Cold-Boot" the system.
-
- There are mainly only 3 types of resource conflicts:
- - I/O or Input/Output port
- - IRQ or Interrupt ReQuest
- - DMA or Direct Memory Access channels
- To resolve material conflicts such as these you'll need to refer to the
- sound adapter manual and follow the instructions listed in it in order to
- change the hardware/software configuration parameters.

-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Q: How can I play the game by using a joy-stick?
-
- A: Launch the SETUP program. Choose the option 'SELECT CONTROLLER' and
- select joy-stick. If the game allows 2 player mode, player 1 must use
- the first joy-stick and player the second. Therefore if you only have a
- single joy-stick only player 1 may use it to play. In order to use 2
- joy-sticks, you must either have an adapter which allows you to connect 2
- joy-sticks simultaneously, or a double 'Y' cable.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Q: [ ] DOS [X] Windows 3.1 [X] Windows 95
- I have a joy-stick but the SETUP program can't detect it.
-
- A: [ ] DOS [X] Windows 3.1 [X] Windows 95

- detection. The hard ware detection phase can take a few moments.
- Normally, the detection should find the joy-stick port and install
- the appropriate driver. If Windows finds the joy-stick port then the
- following points no longer are of any concern. Simply let the
- 'Wizard' complete the process and answer any questions appropriately.
-
- If (and only if) Windows doesn't find any new hardware:

- Q: [ ] DOS [X] Windows 3.1 [X] Windows 95
- When I launch the game I get a message that states that the graphics
- device isn't in the recommended 256 color mode. What does this mean?
-
- A: [ ] DOS [X] Windows 3.1 [X] Windows 95
- The game is supposed to function in 256 color graphics mode. If you use
- other mode, the display may be considerably slower. In order to obtain
- the most fluid animation possible, it is recommended that the graphics
- device be set to display 256 colors.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- When I launch the game I get a message that states that the graphics
- device isn't in VESA compatible. What does this mean?
-
- A: [X] DOS [ ] Windows 3.1 [ ] Windows 95
- The game uses a high resolution graphics mode which requires a VESA
- compatible display adapter. If your graphics adapter isn't VESA
- compatible, the high resolution graphics in the game won't display
- properly. There are 2 remaining possibilities which will enable you to
- view the high resolution graphics present in the game:
-
- 1. You already have a SUPER VGA adapter, however, it isn't VESA
- compatible... in which case you must find a VESA emulation program.
-
- 2. You have a VGA adapter, the only way to view high resolution graphics
- is to purchase a SUPER VGA adapter.
