DEEP FORTRESS (TM)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are an elite helicopter pilot chosen by the high command officials
to infiltrate an underground fortress, rescue all of captured high command
officers, and exterminate the evil terrorist. The fortress contains seven
tightly guarded bunkers. Each bunker contains shield generators for the
next bunker. You'll have to destroy all shield generators in each of the
bunker and survive the self-destruct explosion. Each bunker is guarded by
enemy aircrafts, vehicles, weapons, and mind-boggling security systems.
To win the game, you must rescue the captured high command officials,
destroy all seven bunkers, and kill the evil terrorist.

RUNNING DEEP FORTRESS UNDER WINDOWS 95

*** NOTE: DEEP FORTRESS may be too SLOW when running under Windows 95
on your computer.
A. RUNNING DEEP FORTRESS FROM WINDOWS EXPLORER
- Locate the file DEEPFORT.EXE using Windows Explorer and double-click it.
Though this may work but the best way is to make a Deep Fortress icon

or desktop then click on NEW shortcut.
2. Click on the BROWSE button then locate and select the file DEEPFORT.EXE.
Double-click on the DEEP FORTRESS shortcut icon on your desktop to play.
C. TWEAKING THE ICON PROPERTY
(you may skip this step if you are running with a PENTIUM or above)
1. Right-click on the DEEP FORTRESS shortcut and choose Properties. Now
click on the Program tab and check the "Close on exit" box.
2. Go to the Screen tab and check on "Full-screen" under Usage.
3. Finally, go to the Misc. tab and slide the Idle sensitive bar to Low.
Click OK.
D. MAKING DEEP FORTRESS SHORTCUT TO RUN IN MS-DOS MODE
(use this step if you are having trouble running this game using the

2. Now right-click on the DEEP FORTRESS shortcut and choose Properties.

boxes. The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT should already have a few entries.
4. Click on the Configuration button and select only those entries that you
think are appropriate since the more you select the less conventional
memory will be available. Leave the EMS box checked. Unchecked the mouse
box since you don't need a mouse for this game and etc. Click OK when done.
5. You may need to add lines manually for your sound card. These lines
should be in your old CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files or in files
