A WORD ABOUT COMPATIBILITY:
Battle Wrath was developed and tested on as wide a variety of PCs as
possible. We were unable to prepare our game for every operating
environment that might be encountered. File compressers, networks,
accelerators and other hardware or software devices might affect the
performance of Battle Wrath. If you encounter difficulties using
Battle Wrath, disable any such devices to be sure that they are not
affecting perfomance.
VESA SVGA:
This game works only with computers that conform to the VESA SVGA
standard. If your computer does not automatically support this
standard, you may need to run a VESA TSR (Terminate Stay Resident)
driver supplied by your graphics card manufacturer.
These TSRs are available free of charge on most BBSs, including
Compuserve, America On Line, Genie, Internet, and a host of others.
In addition, the dealer that sold you the hardware should have
access to the drivers. Should you not have access to these sources,
the following section lists the numbers of some common video board
manufacturers.

UNIVBE:
UniVBE is a VESA display driver that works on most video cards.
As an alternative to contacting the previously mentioned companies,
UniVBE can be downloaded from most major BBSs.
PG MODE (C):
PG Mode is a method of scaling down the violence in Battle Wrath.
When PG Mode is off, the game shows full gore - Heads and limbs can
be severed and blood will flow. With PG Mode on, no severs can take
place and blood is replaced with 'hit' stars.
Cerebral Gaming Systems recognizes that the level of violence in
Battle Wrath may detract from the enjoyment of the game for some
people. When the game is first installed a password can be entered
to prevent underage players from misusing the game. If you downloaded
this game from a bulletin board, the password would be the ENTER key.
To change the password at any time, simply type "PASSWORD" while in
the Battle Wrath directory.
Whenever a player attempts to turn PG Mode off, the game prompts the
user for the password. If the entered value is not correct the game
remains in PG Mode - heads and arms remain firmly attached and no
blood flows.
DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD! Cerebral Gaming Systems can NOT retrieve
this password for you should you lose or forget it. Write it down
somewhere safe.
