- NOTES
-
- Prince of Destruction includes a quality soundtrack to add to the
- game's ambiance. If you dislike this kind of ambiance, you may press
- the "M" key during gameplay to turn the soundtrack on/off.
-
- You need to add a SoundBlaster driver to your system to hear sounds in
- Prince of Destruction:
- 1) Open the control panel item in the main group
- 2) Double-click drivers
- 3) If you don't see "Creative Labs Soundblaster 1.0," "Creative Labs
- Soundblaster 1.5," or something similar, select "Add"
- 4) Choose "Creative Labs Soundblaster 1.0" or "Creative Labs Soundblaster 1.5"
- and select "Ok"
- 5) You may be asked to insert your soundblaster disk, and you will have to
- restart windows, but this should make the sounds work. If it doesn't,
- try reinstalling the soundblaster drivers.
-
- Under Windows, MARS uses the WinG graphics library from Microsoft, which allows
- it to support 640x480 in 256 colors, but still run on low end machines. It uses
- the MCI interface for sound effects, meaning it should be compatible with any
- sound card - assuming that proper drivers are installed. Network support
- for multiple players is supported through the NetBIOS interface.
-
- The Windows version of MARS uses 99% of the same source code base as the
- Macintosh version of MARS.
-
- Both the Windows and Macintosh versions of MARS use exactly the same data
- files and it automatically copes with byte-ordering issues, meaning that
- any scenario developed for MARS runs on all MARS-capable machines.
- The Windows version of MARS was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 1.5.
