Game Developers Magazine
Created by Phil Inch
What is it?
This computer-based "magazine" is aimed at anyone with any interest
at all in developing games, animation, music, or in fact any form of
entertainment software for IBM and compatible computers.
This magazine can be run from floppy disk, space permitting, or from
your hard disk. It can exist in any directory, however as this is a
regular publication, keeping each issue in a seperate directory is
highly recommended.
If installing on a hard disk, the following directory structure is
suggested:
\MAGAZINE - base level directory, empty for now
\00000001 - issue 1 files
\00000002 - issue 2 files
.. etc ..
To view the magazine, change to the drive and/or directory in which
you have installed the files, and execute the batch file 'RUNME'.
Hardware Requirements:
From GDM 5 onwards, VGA and a mouse are required. For best results,
a 512k VGA or SVGA card or better are required. For sound effects,
a Sound Blaster or compatible card is required. A fast machine
is also recommended.
It is also recommended that you run GDM 5 onwards from a hard disk.
(It will run from floppy, but the performance is poor).
Issues 1 to 4 should execute faultlessly on just about any machine in
existence. Please let me know if you have any problems. Programs
bundled with the magazine may have specific hardware requirements
and these will be mentioned within the magazine and/or documentation
contained in those programs.
Distribution Information:
This product is public domain, meaning you can distribute the files
as much as you like. Software "bundled" with the magazine may not be
public domain and you are advised to check the documentation which
comes with this software.
Registered users will receive personalised copies of GDM which contain
their name and other bonus goodies not available in the shareware
release. Full details inside GDM. Please do not distribute registered
copies of GDM!
Shareware distributors are allowed to charge for this magazine, but
only an amount which reasonably covers the costs of duplication.
No charge should be made for the magazine itself. Bulletin boards
are encouraged to offer this magazine for public download.
