靈컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Dead Weight 1993 Presents � � Pirates! Gold the Captain's Broadsheet � 聃컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� THE TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT FOR IBM AND COMPATIBLE COMPUTERS CONTENTS Your Pirates! Gold game should contain a manual, six 3 1'2" disks, and this Captain's Broadsheet. HOW TO USE THE BROADSHEET The Captain's Broadsheet is divided into two parts: the first part is the "Technical Supplement;" it describes how Pirates! Gold is loaded and run on your machine. The second part, "Playing Pirates! Gold," describes how to play the game on your machine. ALL PLAYERS SHOULD READ THE "TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT" BEFORE LOADING PIRATES! GOLD We have attempted to make the installation and running of this game as "user friendly" as possible, requiring little or no work from you; however, given the wide multitude of machines, peripherals and software in operation, this software might conflict with certain systems or configurations of systems. Fortunately, this is rare, and it is usually quite easy to fix. The second section, "Playing Pirates! Gold" describes the "interface" for the game -- that is, how the game's controls work. Read this while you are reading "Book I" of the Instruction Manual. PART I: TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT REQUIRED EQUIPMENT COMPUTER This program requires an IBM 386, 16MHz, or better, or a computer 100% compatible with one of these models. The computer must use an 80386 microprocessor or better. DISPLAY This program requires a color monitor with an IBM VGA or SVGA graphics system. If you are using a compatible graphics card or monitor, it must be 100% compatible with the above. CONTROLS This program can be run entirely from keyboard, though we highly recommend that you employ a mouse. DISK DRIVES Pirates! Gold must be loaded onto a hard disk. It requires around 18-20 MBs of free space. DOS You must have IBM PC-DOS or Microsoft MS-DOS, version 3.1 or higher.
