- REALSOUND INFORMATION
-
- RealSound is a patent-pending technological breakthrough that allows your
- MS DOS computer to play high quality digitized sounds such as speech, music
- and sound effects without adding any hardware. All the sounds in this game
- are produced with RealSound. The quality of the sound you hear is dependent
- on several factors:
-
- 1. SPEAKER SIZE AND PLACEMENT- MS DOS computer manufacturers have always felt
- that high quality digitized sound was impossible, and therefore have never paid
- much attention to the speaker. The volume and quality of the sound will be
- affected by the location and size of the speaker and by the speaker enclosure.
-
- 2. CPU SPEED- Computers with clock speeds greater than 6 MHZ (such as turbo)
- will tend to have slightly higher quality sound than slower machines.
-
- When sound is playing, a fixed portion of the CPU time is being used to
- manipulate the speaker. On slower machines (80286 with 6MHZ clock or slower),
- a slow down may occur when sound is playing and large blocks of graphics are
- being moved around on screen. To help compensate for this problem, the
- program tests the speed of the computer and if necessary, deletes or delays
- selected portions of animations while sound is playing. In some situations
- the program may delete certain sounds to avoid a conflict with graphics.
