INSTALLATION
------------
If you downloaded this file from a BBS, you don't need to run Install. If you
purchased an evaluation disk from a shareware vendor or the story, follow these
directions. To install Arcy 2, place the diskette into the A drive and
type A:, or into the B drive and type B:. When the A> or B> prompt appears on
the screen, type INSTALL. Follow the directions to install the software.
To begin the game type ARCY2.
Note to Windows Users
---------------------
Arcy 2 will run as a DOS application, spawned under Windows, but you may
encounter sound card conflicts. The best solution if you run into conflicts
is to completely exit from Windows before starting Arcy 2. Clicking on the
DOS prompt is NOT exiting Windows. You must actually close your Windows
session.
Arcy 2 and Sound Blaster 16
---------------------------
The Sound Blaster 16 sound card causes special problems, especially in 486 DX2
systems. If the game locks up, try running it without digitized sound effects.
Another option is to include the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET SB-SET FM:9,9
This command may also make the music louder if it is too soft on your SB 16.
Making a clean boot disk
------------------------
If you encounter problems running Arcy 2 there may be a conflict between it
and a program resident in memory. Here's a way to avoid the conflict.
Place a blank, unformatted diskette into drive A of your computer. Then type
FORMAT A:/S/U
and press enter. When the computer is finished formatting the disk and
copying the system files to it, press the RESET button on your computer or the
ALT-CTRL-DEL keys at the same time. After your computer has rebooted, go to
the Arcy 2 directory and play the game. If it runs, there is a conflict
between a resident program loaded by your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file.
Whenever you want to play Arcy 2, simply reboot your computer with the boot
disk you have created.
Playing Arcy 2
--------------
To begin a new game, from the main menu choose the top selection. In this
shareware version you can only play volume 1; volumes 2 and 3 may be played
from the registered trilogy version. Your goal in Arcy 2 is to manuever your
character to get all the keys to open the door on each level. Some of the
levels are quite easy. Others are quite hard. If you can't figure out how
to play, press F1 for help.
