RETRIBUTION: PC-GAMES DEMONSTRATION
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
14/10/1994
Demonstration Versions
──────────────────────
There are two demonstration versions of the game, RET4.EXE and RET8.EXE.
The only difference is the background music. They bothe have the
animations and the speech. The program now runs under DOS4GW 1.92
(newer version) without any problems.
Apart from some minor improvements, this new version has got the
keyboard/mouse error fixed and it also supports Sound-Blaster 16 for
sound effects and for music.
Running The Demonstration
────────────────────────────
The control and sound options are selected through the MS-DOS command
line. There are three types of controls: keyboard, mouse and joystick.
Mouse control is the default. Therefore, typing:
RET?
or
RET? MOUSE
is the same thing. To select joystick or keyboard control type:
RET? JOYSTICK
or
RET? KEYBOARD
Sound Blaster 8 for Sound Effects and Music
────────────────────────────────────────────
To select Sound Blaster 8-bit, you have to identify the card as well
as enter all the card's hardware settings.
eg. RET? SB8 SBPORT=220 SBIRQ=7 SBDMA=1
Alternatively you can let the program try and auto-detect the
Sound Blaster settings by typing (not always reliable):
RET? SB8 SBAUTO
If no other sound card parameters are passed then the 8MB version will
play sound effects as well as music through Sound Blaster 8 bit.
Sound Blaster 16
─────────────────
To use Sound Blaster 16-bit for sound effects type:
eg. RET? SB16 SBAUTO
or RET? SB16 SBPORT=220 SBIRQ=7 SBDMA=1
On RET8.EXE you can also play music through Sound Blaster 16 by typing
the card's midi port address (usually 300 or 330).
eg. RET8 SB16 SB16MIDI=330
So to play both (sound effects and music) type:
RET8 SB16 SBAUTO SB16MIDI=330
General MIDI Music
──────────────────
If you want superior MIDI music for the actual game rather than
Sound Blaster music you must type:
RET8 MIDIPORT=330
You can use Sound Blaster just for sound effects and MIDI for music:
RET8 SB8 SBPORT=220 SBIRQ=7 SBDMA=1 MIDIPORT=330
