▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ * HELP! FOR THOSE WITH HERCULES OR TEXT ONLY MONITORS * ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ We frequently get calls from people who are stuck with older PCs - don't ║
║ despair - we have a number of programs that are ideal for these machines. ║
║ Those listed below (in lowercase type) are known to support Hercules mono ║
║ chrome graphics; those with an asterisk will also run on (even) older PCs ║
║ with no graphics capability (ie. text only). Those in BLOCK CAPITALS are ║
║ CGA programs known to work on Hercules screens when a CGA emulator is run ║
║ first. Many other CGA titles in this catalogue will probably also run OK. ║
║ Please refer to next section for more details on CGA emulators. ║
║ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒*** CGA EMULATORS ***▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ║
║ Many CGA programs will run on Hercules monitors if you run a CGA emulator ║
║ first. We have three such programs available (SIMCGA, SIMCGA2, HGCIBM).It ║
║ is really a matter of trial and error, different ones work with different ║
║ programs and some may work faster than others. Please ask, and we'll copy ║
║ them (free of charge) onto one of your disks - space permitting. The most ║
║ useful seems to be HGCIBM - which is normally loaded by typing HGCIBM /E ║
║ from the DOS prompt (HGCIBM /U to uninstall). Many of the other CGA games ║
║ and educational programs in this catalogue will probably run successfully ║
║ using this method (system requirements are shown at the end of every disk ║
║ description). We have only listed below those we have fully tested. ║

TO LOCATE PROGRAMS, MAKE A NOTE OF DISK NUMBER AND USE "CHECKLIST" FROM MENU.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NOTE: Hercules monitors DO NOT support EGA, VGA or sVGA graphics. If you have
"mono-VGA" this will generally be OK for all graphics except sVGA. Although,
obviously some programs (such as colouring books) will not really be usable.
