If the game runs too slowly on your system, we have incorporated
several detail options that will help increase the speed of the game.
You may decrease and increase the game's screen resolution by pressing
the - and + keys. The smaller (lower) the screen resolution, the better
the game speed. You may also decrease and increase the graphical detail
level by pressing the [ and ] keys. Again, the lower the detail level,
the faster the game.
