You can simply drag and drop the file SPLANET.BAT over the DOSBox icon to start playing. Experienced DOSBox users may choose other methods of startup. The software was configured and tested to work with the official DOSBox build v0.74-3 available from www.dosbox.com. It may or may not work with any other third-party DOSBox distributions that are available. For playing instructions and other information, please refer to the readme.txt file found in the SPDEMO directory. ============================================================================== * Note on changing the screen resolution * Scorched Planet can run in two resolution modes: 320x200 and 640x400. Using the low resolution mode might improve performance at the cost of lower image detail. The demo as provided here is configured to run in the default low resolution. To change to 640x400, open the file SPLANET.INI that is located in the SPDEMO directory in any text editor and find the following line: settings= 1 2 1 0 3 95 127 0 0 5 320 Change this to: settings= 1 2 1 0 3 95 127 0 0 5 640 Then save and close SPLANET.INI. The game will now run in high resolution. It is recommended to set DOSBox to emulate maximum CPU cycles for this mode. ============================================================================== * Game related websites * Developer website (access via the Wayback Machine): http://www.csl.com/studios/scorched.htm Publisher website (access via the Wayback Machine): http://www.vie.co.uk/products/scorched/scorfram.htm Scorched Planet Hints & Tips (access via the Wayback Machine): http://www.csl.com/studios/hints.htm NOTE: Some sites are only available as copies made by the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/ ============================================================================== * Disclaimer * THE GAME DATA IN THIS ARCHIVE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
