This CD-ROM disc compilation and various other items are Copyright, 1993, 1994 Aztech New Media Corp. Thank you for purchasing Aztech's "Super Shareware Games" Collection. This mini-collection is a sampling of some of the very best shareware games available today. All the games on this CD-ROM, except Blake Stone, run directly from the CD-ROM, although you will not be able to save games or save reconfigure options (you can't change the contents of a CD-ROM). Blake Stone must be copied to your hard drive because it determines the configuration of your machine as it installs itself. *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** A menu interface is provided to make your game selections effortless. To access the menu, simply log on to your CD-ROM drive (eg D:) and type GO. Then make your selection with the mouse or keyboard. *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** NeoSoft Corp. (Bend, Oregon) graciously consented to permit Aztech to use their unregistered QuikMenu program. It is an elegant, simple and complete menuing system that was designed for a networking environment. We have set up all the games into submenus to make your selections effortless. Please remember, QuikMenu is shareware and if you use it for other than the pre-determined menuing function of this CD-ROM, you must register QuikMenu with NeoSoft. You will find all the pertinent details in the QuikMenu directory. The QUIKMENJ directory contains Aztech's game menu. The games may be run from the DOS prompt, without using the QuikMenu program, by changing to the directory of the game that interests you and then just type RUNME. It is important to note that the price for this CD-ROM covers only the the medium, research, assembly, production, packaging, and distribution costs. The actual intellectual properties (that is, the programs) require separate payment to the author(s) if you are going to use them. These programs are "shareware." They are not free unless specifically identified as such. Some games want to write a configuration file or a high score file to disk. Since it is not possible to write information to a CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) any changes you make to the a game's configuration will have to be done each time you play the game. To overcome this, you will have to copy the game to your hard disk or to a floppy. A few of the games may not have a "Quit" or "Exit" command - why? We may never know. Sometimes the exit command is identified in the documentation - but who reads documentation? First try the ESC (Escape) key. Then try holding down the Ctrl (Control) key and pressing, one after the other, Q, W, E, A, S, D, Z, X, C. Try the same with the Alt key. Failing all these, try the "BREAK" key or holding down the CTL and/or ALT keys and then pressing "BREAK." The preceding represent just about every conceivable exit command. When nothing else works, use the reboot function. Hold down the Ctrl (Control) and Alt keys at the same time and then press Del (Delete). ========================================================================== We sincerely hope you enjoy this disc.
