- This game provides great entertainment for the whole family.
- Suggested age for game play is from 8 years all the way up to the
- adventuresome adult! We wanted to provide a game that everyone would

- other games carry. Rather, it is a wonderfully relaxing way to enjoy
- yourself for an incredibly low price without having to worry about what
- the younger ones are getting into.

-
- *** STORYLINE OF LONE EAGLE
-
- LONE EAGLE - COLOMBIAN ENCOUNTER is a sophisticated, new generation,
- shareware adventure game different from anything else in the field. The
- adventure starts when you learn your friend and partner has been
- killed by cutthroat South American pirates. You sail to the same area to
- investigate and soon find yourself entangled with modern-day pirates.
- Combined with humor and adventure, a struggle for survival begins.
- The world you will explore comes to life due to the incredible
- graphics and the "VIRTUAL SCENERY" where there are constant real life
- movements of backgrounds and sounds. The scenes include sailing,
- fishing, diving, and colorful characters.
-
- **************************************************************************
- *** REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY THIS GAME
-
- - Minimum 386 16Mhz Computer < Recommended 25Mhz 486 >
- - Extended Memory Manager (ie. EMM386) required for sound effects
- - 9 Megabytes of Hard Drive Space for shareware version
- - 512K Free Conventional Memory
- - 128K XMS Expanded Memory for Sound Cards (Optional)
- - DOS 5.0 or Higher
- - Files=20 or Higher in your Config.sys
- - LONE EAGLE will not run under windows or with QEMM.
-
- *** PROBLEMS RUNNING LONE EAGLE
-
- If you experience mouse problems running LONE EAGLE it is
- probably because your mouse driver and mouse are not compatible
- with each other and are sending non-standard signals to your
- computer. The easiest solution is to be sure to install compatible
- mouse driver and mouse equipment.
-
- If you are experiencing problems running Lone Eagle, the easiest
- way to eliminate them is to make a "BOOT DISK" for your computer. A
- batch program has been created to help you create a bootable floppy.
- Just insert an empty floppy disk into your "A" drive and type
- "MAKEBOOT" from the directory where your game is installed.
-
- (NOTE: This batch program will attempt to format the floppy you
- inserted! Make sure there is no data on the disk that you want to keep!
- After that it will put the appropriate files on the floppy so that you
- can play the game. It will also help to free up memory needed to play
- LONE EAGLE. Once the disk has been completed, instructions will tell you
- about adding a mouse driver to the disk. Then you will be instructed to
- leave the disk in the "A" drive and reboot your machine.)
-
- If you still experience lockups or stalls while using the LONE EAGLE
- BOOT DISK, you simply do not have enough extended memory available
- for the special sound effects. You can easily fix this by turning
- off the sound, but you will miss much of the special effects.
-
- The sound is turned off from the button menu that appears at the top
- of the game while in play. Once the sound is off you can use the auto-
- restore button to recycle through the introduction scenes if you had
- difficulties viewing the introduction due to the sounds.
-
- THE TOLL FREE NUMBER ABOVE IS FOR ORDERING ONLY.
