You will then be presented with a soundcard select screen. Choose the appropriate sound card for your system (or select "Autodetect" to have the program attempt at auto-detecting your soundcard). Simply run SABA.EXE thereafter to play the game in DOS, or double click on the DOS shortcut "SABA-W95" from windows. System Requirements: Super ACiD Block Attack has the ability to run on almost any system. Due to the nature of the music/sound system, a faster computer is needed for channel mixing. If you experience sluggish response from your system, try lowering the mixing rate at the sound-setup screen. Turn off the music as a last resort (it just makes the game a bit dull without the great music. :) No Music: With Music & Full Mixing Rates: 486/33mhz Pentium 90 (Note: Mixing rates vary from sound-card to sound-card. These ratings apply to a Soundblaster 8-bit soundcard. Some soundcards, such as the Gravis Ultrasound, do hardware mixing, and will achieve the same results if not better on a 486/33Mhz machine as compared to a Pentium 120 with a Soundblaster.) A graphics card capable of displaying the screen resolution of 320x240x256 is also required. If your system has trouble achieving this mode, try using a vesa driver (such as UniVBE) to adjust videocard or monitor settings. Super ACiD Block Attack will run under MS-DOS 3.1 or higher, and under Win95 as well. Better performance can be achieved under DOS than Win95. Please use the shortcuts provided when running Super ACiD Block Attack under Win95. Super ACiD Block Attack will NOT run with sound under Windows 3.1, it will crash the system if sound is enabled. Also, sound will not work correctly with a "Windows 95 only" sound card, a DOS compatiable sound card is required. Super ACiD Block Attack will not run correctly in Windows NT. Running The Game: Super ACiD Block Attack is pretty self explanitory. Simply follow the onscreen instructions at the main-selection screen by using the arrow keys and "ENTER" for choosing keyboard-setups, viewing high-scores, viewing credits, and changing music selection. To change the music selection, simply move to the line that displays "Music:", and hit ENTER. The game will then switch to the next song available. The gameplay is simple, rotate and move the falling blocks to fill in entire rows of blocks. When an entire row is filled, the row disappears, the board shifts downward, and you get points! The more rows cleared at once, the more points! The game will increase in speed as the level increases(for each 10 lines), and the points per line will increase also. The default keys for gameplay are: Rotate left: 'A' key Rotate right: 'S' key Move piece left: Left arrow Move piece right: Right arrow Quick drop: Down arrow Thanks,Greets and Misc: E-Mail: japi@dddgames.com afox@dddgames.com HTTP: http://www.dddgames.com Hellos to Paul Mason, Neil Bradley and all other emulator authors, everyone on #trax, #poetry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to include Super ACiD Block Attack in a CD-Rom collection, file archive, public domain catalogue or any other, please contact us!
