REQUIREMENTS
It runs well on computers which can be marked as faster than 386DX/40 + math coprocessor (320x200 resolution) or 486DX2/50 (640x480 resolution). UNIX and X11/SVGAlib are also required. For sound support you need a sound card capable of 8-bit digital sound and at least version 2.9 of the Voxware sound drivers in the Linux kernel or pcsnd pcspeaker driver. For joystick support you need to have the joystick patches compiled into the kernel (or use the newer loadable device driver for joysticks).

PORTABILITY
The program is written in ANSI C and uses the X11 graphics library.

BUGS/LIMITATIONS
Sound and joystick is supported only on Linux.
