FUN SEEKER'S GUIDE TO EASTERN MADERA COUNTY (FSG):


 The Fun Seeker's Guide was written and programmed by
 Doug Oldfield, a programmer who's name you might have
 noticed in the credits of Space Quests 3 and 4 - as well
 as several other Sierra products. Generally a very busy guy, he
 apparently had a little too much time on his hands a few years
 back and was inspired to create this little gem which offers a
 unique perspective on one of the more interesting attractions -
 if not THE most interesting - in our humble Sierra foothill
 community. Anyone who has ever visited us here in Oakhurst or have
 driven along highway 41 on their way to Yosemite will probably
 recognize the subject of this program.

 This is easily run from this CD with no configuration necessary.
 Just type FUN from the \FSG directory.

 If you wish to run it from your hard drive, copy all files from
 the \FSG directory to an appropriate directory on your hard drive.
 Then log on to that drive and directory and type FUN.


TECHNICAL NOTES

 SOUND CARDS

   Sorry, the Microsoft Sound System is not supported.


 MEMORY

   Some of the games require a pretty good chunk of memory to run properly.
   We recommend that you not run while attached to a network, especially
   from within Windows.


 SOUND CARDS

   Because many of the sound cards sold today weren't developed
   when the original products were made, not all sound cards will work
   with the games on the Space Quest Collection CD.



 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 ON THE CARE AND HANDLING
 OF DIGITAL ANTIQUES


 Dear Customer;

 This is a collection of software spanning the first 10 years
 of the Space Quest series, the pinnacle of adventure games.
 This anthology not only presents the compiled tales of the
 Space Quest saga, but also provides an example of the
 evolution of computer entertainment software over the last
 decade..

 As you review early works of the Space Quest series, please
 remember that you are looking at what might be described as
 "digital antiques" from the early days of personal
 computing. Innovations such as mice and music cards, which
 are widely used today were not yet available in the early
 and mid 1980's.Thus early Space Quest games will not
 support them.  We hope that you will enjoy them in the same
 nostalgic spirit as you would a classic black and white
 movie. While they may lack some modern day technological
 flair, we think you'll agree that they do have a unique
 quality all their own.
 
 It is also important to note that the Windows operating
 system was not in homes during the 80's. While we have
 attempted to adjust our software so that it may be accessed
 within Windows, some of the early games simply cannot run in
 Windows on some computer system configurations.  If you are
 experiencing trouble with any adventure game while running
 within the windows environment, we recommend that you exit
 Windows and instead access the adventure game from MS-DOS.
 
 We sincerely hope you enjoy the enchanted land of Daventry
 and beyond as you explore the Space Quest collection.
 
 Sincerely.

 Enjoy!
