CONTINUOUS DEMONSTRATION. Just before selecting the screen format press 
Alt R. (i.e. type MENU and press return. Hold down 'Alt' and press 'R', 
then press one of 'A' through 'K' then press RETURN.) You can pause the 
demonstration by pressing Alt R again.


COMPATIBILITY. The adventure interpreter on this disc also works with
our previous games. For Knight Orc, Gnome Ranger and Time & Magik, copy 
your original, delete AINT.EXE and replace MENU.EXE, MENU.TXT and 
PALETTE.PIC by the new ones. For Lancelot and Ingrid's Back! copy your 
original, delete AINT.EXE and replace MENU.EXE and MENU.TXT by the new 
ones. (This allows previous games to be upgraded for screen modes not 
available when those games were released.)

HARD DISCS. Scapeghost is supplied on floppy disc, but we are pretty 
confident that it should work on other disc drives too. (No promises! 
This is a free extra feature, so it's not a bug if the game won't work 
on your peculiar disc drive.) Just copy the game, file-by-file, into one 
directory.


DISPLAY MODES. Because PCs and PC clones are a varied bunch, Scapeghost
presents a menu of eleven display modes. The following advice should 
help you decide which to use. Please read it from the top:
* If your PC only has the Monochrome Display Adaptor (MDA), use mode (A).
* If your PC has VGA  graphics use mode (J).
* If your PC has MCGA graphics use mode (K).
* If you are using a TV and just want 40 column text, use mode (B).
* If your PC has EGA graphics, use the EGA mode (G). EGA colour graphics 
  are not supported by early MSDOS versions.
* If your PC has EGA graphics with a CGA display, use mode (H) or (I).
* If your PC has CGA colour graphics, use mode (D) or (E). 
* If your PC has MGA graphics, or it supports CGA graphics that you want 
  to use for b&w, use the MGA mode (F).
* Otherwise, use mode (C), 80 column text.
* Some modes may not work on less compatible PC clones because the 
  graphics board is accessed directly. If you have problems, try each
  mode in turn, rebooting between 'attempts'.


GRAPHICS. Many products only support one of the PC graphic modes; e.g 
providing pictures if your PC has EGA graphics, but otherwise providing 
a text-only game. But Scapeghost displays pictures in five major 
graphic modes: VGA, MCGA, EGA, CGA and MGA. 

Obviously, there is not enough room on disc for five complete sets of 
graphics, so they are stored as compressed EGA pictures. If a picture 
is displayed in CGA mode, it is expanded to use the bigger CGA pixels, 
and its colours are converted to the CGA palette. If it is displayed in 
MGA mode, the picture's colours are replaced by shaded areas of 
black-and-white. 

When you are using colour CGA graphics, press TAB (the key may look like 
an arrow hitting a wall) to switch between picture and text. When the 
picture is displayed, press cursor keys to slide the visible area around; 
TAB, returns to the text. This display mode uses the 'Low-Resolution 
Colour Graphics Mode' (160x100 pixels) which is not implemented on some 
CGA clones.


COPYRIGHT. Please remember that Level 9 games are protected by copyright 
and take a long time to produce, so only make one copy, for your own use, 
to keep only as long as you have the original game.

Happy Adventuring!
