- 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.
