----------------------------- INTRODUCTION ---------------------------------
Welcome to "BadLands BlackJack", EnQue Software's first game in the "Vegas
at Home Series" for Windows. This is not just another simple BlackJack game
with boring graphics and silly sounds, it's a full simulation complete with
stunning ray-traced graphics and digitized cards and voice. Top that off
with the ability to customize your rules and strategy charts, and instructions
on how to learn to beat the odds, and you have a complete, entertaining, and
instructional BlackJack tutor right at home. If you ever have or ever will
play BlackJack for "real" money, or you simply like to relax and try your
luck, (or skill?), then this game's for you - it can make you a winner!
We recommend a minimum of 4-Meg of memory, a 256-color or higher video card,
and a sound card.
------------------------------- DISCLAIMER ---------------------------------
We hate this legal mumbo-jumbo but we gotta do it!
While we at EnQue strive to provide the highest quality software at very
affordable prices, we cannot account for all user configurations and
actions. Therefore, use of this product constitutes an "assumption of risk".
We make no expressed or implied warrranty of any kind with regard to this
software and documentation. In no event shall the authors or EnQue Software
be liable for incidental or consequential damages in connection with or
arising out of the performance or use of this product. Furthermore, we make
no recommendations that you do or do not gamble for real money, and make no
guarantees or assumptions as to your success or failure.
---------------------------- TROUBLESHOOTING -------------------------------
NOTE: According to Microsoft, Windows is the ideal game environment because
it handles all the details such as graphics card and audio board support;
you write software to a common specification and Windows handles all the
details. While this is true to some extent, we have found that many of these
drivers are buggy - we have gone to unbelievable lengths to work around these
problems but we cannot account for every configuration. (There are tens of
thousands!). Therefore, some of you will have trouble, and in all
likelihood, some of you will not be able to run "BadLands BlackJack". We
apologize in advance for this.
While we are unable to return your calls should you need assistance, we will
be happy to answer questions via E-Mail, BBS, or FAX. Most problems will be
driver related and we may be unable to help you - we cannot test all
possibilities and may refer you to your hardware vendor. However, here are
some guidelines.
-- WINDOWS LOCKS UP
If windows locks up and you see the opening screen, it is most likely due to
a sound card problem. Try the two tests described under "No music" and "No
Sound" below. If these don't work, consult your sound card manual or
supplier. If they do work, you may have to run the game with the command
line paramters -m for no music, or -s for no sound, or -q for
neither. For example, run "C:\BBJ\BBJ -m". From Program Manager, do File,
Run with the above command or change the command line for the icon if
you added it to a group. To do this, hold down the Alt key and double click
on the icon. Change the command line and click on OK. Refer to you Windows
manual for additional help. Here are some more guidelines.
1) Try closing off all other applications.
2) Exit Windows, power your machine down then back up, and try again.
3) Re-install the software.
4) Try changing your video driver as described in your Windows manual and
video card manual.
If it STILL doesn't work, we're out of ideas: sorry!!! Drop us a note
outlining your configuration and problems in as much detail as possible
and we will try to resolve the situation.
-- NO MUSIC
Music is played using windows standard MIDI interface. If you can play
the MIDI file BBJ.MID (in the directory you installed BlackJack) using Media
Player or one of your sound card programs, then they should work in our game.
-- NO DIGITIZED VOICE
Sound is played using windows standard WAV interface. If you can play
the WAV files (in the directory you installed BlackJack) using Media Player
or one of your sound card programs, then they should work in our game.
-- NO GRAPHICS
See above "Windows locks up" section.
---------------------------- ADDITIONAL HELP -------------------------------
Additional help about the game itself, as well as information on ordering
other EnQue games is available once you are running the program. Good
luck and thanks for playing our game - let us know what you think!
