GUNSHIP DEMO
MicroProse Software has just released an enhanced IBM version of its best-
selling helicopter simulation GUNSHIP. The new release features filled,
solid terrain and targets, added detail and color, and smooth 3-D animation.
A dynamic configuration system adjusts the game automatically to take
advantage of the computer's speed. The faster a machine operates, the
smoother the flight and animation of graphics will be (with a practical limit
of 30 frames per second).
You may run this non-interactive demo if you have:
o IBM-PC/XT/AT/PS2 or 100% compatible (not PCjr)
o at least 256K RAM
o DOS 2.0 or higher
o an EGA (16 color), CGA (4 color), or Tandy (16 color) graphics board
To run the demo:
o Boot your system as normal.
o Insert the demo disk in drive A.
o At the A:> prompt, type "GSDEMO".
o Select the appropriate graphics mode.
o The demo will run continuously.
Options:
o Ctrl-Break will restart the demo from the beginning.
o The "V" key will toggle the sound off & on during the actual flight
portion of the demo. This remains in effect as the demo recycles.
o The "=" key will toggle "accelerated time" mode. This makes the
flight appear twice as fast as real time. For a good time, try
this on an AT or 386!
o ALT-"=" and ALT-"-" can be used to fine tune the frame rate. This
is similar to accelerated time mode, but with much more precision.
o To run from a RAM-disk or hard disk, copy all of the files to that
drive with COPY *.*, make that drive current, and type "GSDEMO".
This demo is copywrited, but not copy-protected. Feel free to give an
unmodified copy of it to anyone you wish.
The IBM version of GUNSHIP is available for $49.95 suggested retail from a
Valued MicroProse Retailer (VMR) near you or direct from us at:
