- CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN READ ME FILE
- Version 1.01 September 25, 1992
-
- To update your CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN program to version 1.01, follow the
- instructions below:
-
- 1. Copy the two files from the update disk (PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP) into
- the directory where your CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN is stored on your hard
- drive.
-
- 2. Now from the directory where CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN is stored, type
- PATCH at the DOS prompt. This will execute the patch program and make
- the necessary modifications to CRISIS.EXE.
-
- 3. When the patch is complete, type "DIR CRISIS.EXE" and you should see
- the following: CRISIS EXE 507712 8-28-92 9:54am
-
- 4. Finally, run the game by typing CRISIS and you will be running version
- 1.01. CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN has been successfully updated.
-
- (This CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN update is publicly distributable to CRISIS
- IN THE KREMLIN owners. Feel free to make copies of this update for fellow
- CRISIS IN THE KREMLIN players.)
-
-
- The following changes and additions have been made to CRISIS IN THE
- KREMLIN since the manual went to press:
-
- P. 12. The computer checks to make sure you have at least 565,000 bytes
- (552K) of free RAM available to run the game. If you don't, you may
- experience program errors. You can type CHKDSK or MEM at the DOS prompt
- to see how much free RAM you have available.
-
- P. 12. The installation utility requires you to have 16MB of space free on
- the hard disk while the compressed files are being expanded. Once the game
- is installed, the game files take up 12MB on your hard drive.
-
- P. 12. The package actually contains five 1.2MB 5.25" disks or four 1.44MB
- 3.5" disks. There is also a Strategy Grid card to update the grids on
- pp. 53-55.
-
- P. 18. The manual says you can personalize your logbook with a name up to
- 13 letters long. Actually, the longest name you can use is 9 letters long.
-
- P. 19. The manual says you will be called upon to announce your initial
- policies during an inauguration speech immediately after you personalize
- your logbook. As the game now stands, you are not formally asked to review
- your policies until May Day of your FIRST year (although you may choose to
- reset the policies at any time).
-
- P. 23. Another choice has been added to the "Options" submenu:
- "Animations." This toggles some of the animated sequences (such as the
- hand reaching for the crisis phone) on and off. The game will progress a
- little faster with the animation off, and it will use up less of the
- computer's memory.
-
- PP. 53-55. The strategy grids on these pages have been updated. See the
- Strategy Grid card enclosed with this game.
-
- If you want to delete all your saved games from your computer, go to the
- DOS prompt, make sure the computer is in the proper directory, and type
- DEL *.INS. For general advice on deleting files, see your DOS manual.
-
- There are no digitized voice-overs in the game, despite what the box says.
