- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Kiloblaster is a fast-action arcade game reminiscent of Galaxian
- with lots of innovative, high-tech features! This game features digitized
- and ray-traced backgrounds in 256-color VGA which are truly out of this
- world!
-
- In Kiloblaster, you'll also find an incredible musical sound track and
- digitized sound effects if you have a Sound Blaster card. Kiloblaster also
- features some wild sound effects through the tiny speaker in your PC.
-
- Each of the three Kiloblaster volumes features 30 unique levels, for
- a total of -90- stages of arcade excitement! Fasten your seatbelt and
- prepare to be warped into another dimension of game playing!
-

- IMPORTANT ** COMPATIBILITY NOTES
-
- 1. This game requires a lot of free memory -- especially with Sound
- Blaster effects enabled. Please load DOS HIGH (if you have DOS 5.0),
- and remove any TSR's from memory.
-
- 2. Some mutant screen blankers and memory managers may cause trouble
- with Kiloblaster; this can be solved by booting from a DOS disk
- without any TSR's or memory managers.
-
- 3. This game is *not* compatible with STACKER and probably other hard-disk
- compression programs. To get it to work properly, please install it on
- a non-compressed drive.
-
- 4. This game only supports the Sound Blaster and Sound Blaster Pro sound
- cards, not the Adlib.
-
- 5. If you have trouble running this game from Windows or OS/2, try running
- it straight from the DOS prompt.
