Spades v3.0 by Spaceways
Notes:
You must have a 286 or better IBM-type computer
and a VGA card to play this game. You must have all the files listed
in FILES.LST. If you do not have these things, the game will not run.
If you find the game will not run, and you already meet all these
conditions, try starting it by typing "Go2". This loads a universal
VESA driver, and unloads it when the program is finished. If both of
these fail, or if you know that your video card only has 256k of
memory, start the game by typing "Go3". This loads the standard VGA
version of the game <you'll need this for PS1's, some of the Cirrus VLB
boards, and most 286 systems>.
We keep updates as available on America Online and Exec-PC and
our home BBS, listed below, and zip files we have uploaded to those
services will be complete. We fervently hope that people who download
our programs will pass them along to other BBSes, and that they will
pass along the complete package, but naturally we cannot control what
happens when the programs leave our hands. If you download this game
from a local BBS and it doesn't have all its bits, please let your sysop
know, but don't bitch and moan too hard, because sysops have a rough
and thankless existence. Our complete line of games can be downloaded
from Entropy Tango BBS at 512-451-3512. (See why we know about the
life of a sysop?) After all this, if you have everything the game
needs and it still refuses to run, give our tech-line a call
between noon and 9 PM Central Current Time, at 512-451-8308.
P.S. Don't forget to REGISTER!!!
