    RESCUE THE CAPTIVES
    You are the Green Beret, a highly trained combat machine.

    Your mission:
          Infiltrate all 4 enemy Strategic Defense Installations and rescue the captives.

    You are alone and facing immeasurable odds.

    Do you have the skill and stamina to succeed?

    PLAYING THE GAME
    Red alert!

    Using the platforms and ladders advance through the 4 Strategic Defense Installations:
          Missile Base, Harbor, Bridge and Prison Camp.

    Use your knife to attack the enemy defenders who will kick, shoot and bite to stop you.

    Watch your step or you may become a human "Mine Detector".

    Dodge the bullets.

    Avoid running into your enemies.

    GREEN BERET PARAMETERS
    You may want to start Green Beret with the following (optional) parameters:

          -nosound
                enjoy the silence

          -slow
                if you think the game is running too slow on your computer, try this parameter,
                it will reduce the frame rate. If you are playing the game on a 386 machine,
                this is the standard mode

          -fast
                this is the standard mode unless you play the game on a 386 machine, see above. If you feel your 386
                machine is capable, you may try to use the "-fast" parameter. If the game appears to be in
                "slow motion", your 386 machine is not capable of using the "-fast" parameter. You will need to restart
                the game

          example:
                grnbrt.exe -nosound -fast
                this will run the game without sound, in fast mode

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
          386+

          256KB VGA card

          550KB base RAM

          1024KB extended RAM

          2MB hard drive space

          104+ keyboard

          MS-DOS

          optional:
          SoundBlaster compatible soundcard

          Windows 9x

    TROUBLESHOOTING
          question:
                "where is the sound???"

          answer:
                you must set the BLASTER environment variable so Green Beret can detect the settings of your
                soundcard. If you do not have a soundcard, setting the BLASTER environment variable won't help

          example:
                SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6

    NOTES
    The PC version of Green Beret is a remake of the original classic Commodore 64 (C64) game, if you'd like to play
    the original version, download a C64 emulator and the C64 version of the game.

    Sound samples from the original C64 game were recorded by Thomas Bolhuis.

    This game is programmed for MS-DOS and it will run best under MS-DOS. Of course, it will still run in a MS-DOS
    prompt under Windows.
