Elvira came out in 1990. Because new technology has been developed
you may experience problems with this game on a 386 or 486. We have
tested this game on both these platforms and found that it worked fine
with our configurations. However, you may experience lock-ups or
garbled graphics. Please read the following instructions, they may
solve these problems.
