Ancients I Version 2.0 * Troubleshooting & Info
==============================================================================
ANCIENTS requires:
* An IBM-compatible computer (286 recommended)
* VGA graphics capability
* Hard disk
* At least 640K of memory
* A mouse and mouse driver (MOUSE.SYS or MOUSE.EXE)
To start Ancients,
1. Change to the drive it is installed to (C:)
2. Change to the directory the game installed to (CD\ANC1)
3. Type BEGIN and press the Enter key.
If you run into any problems when starting Ancients, here are some
suggestions:
1. If the mouse cursor doesn't appear, make sure you have a mouse driver
loaded properly! Ancients is impossible to play without a mouse.
To load your mouse driver, see your computer and mouse manual. This
usually requires a command in your CONFIG.SYS file that
says: "DEVICE=C:\DOS\MOUSE.SYS" or something similar.
NOTE: Some mice may have an interface problem. If you find that your
mouse is not functioning properly, Journey Onward into the game (you can
use the letter 'j'). Hit F5 for setup. Follow instructions and toggle the
mouse sys. Save your config, exit, and rerun the program.
2. Ancients requires at least 550K of available main (conventional)
memory. If you don't have this much memory free, please consult
your DOS manual for instructions on freeing up more memory. Some
suggestions are:
* Create a boot disk and start your system clean. This will prevent
TSR's and memory managers from being loaded and taking up
memory.
* If you're using DOS 6, reboot your computer and press F5 when the
message "Starting MS-DOS" appears, then run Ancients.
* Do not run Ancients from a menu program or from Windows. Only run it
from the DOS prompt.
3. Ancients is a fantasy role-playing adventure game, and you'll need to
explore many lands and fight many monsters along the way. If you're
ever stuck in a game, please read the online help -- it provides plenty
of useful information and instructions to aid in your journey.
Ancients I: The DeathWatch v2.0 is shareware. Feel free to copy and
