* MICROPROSE 3-D GOLF * ------------------------ TECHNICAL SUPPLEMENT CONTENTS Your Microprose Golf package (?) should contain a manual, this Technical Supplement, 3 disks, a club selectiton guide, course maps and a registration card. REQUIRED COMPUTER & DISPLAY: This simulation requires EQUIPMENT either a Commodore Amiga with a minimum of 1 megabyte of RAM or an Atari ST of 512k of RAM, and a colour monitor. CONTROLS: The simulation can be run enirely from the keyboard or with a joystick, but a mouse is strongly recommended for playing the game. OPERATING DIFFICULTIES AND LOADING PROBLEMS! -------------------------------------------- In the vast majority of cases a loading problem is not of faulty software, but either an incorrect procedure or a hadware fault. Please ensure that the loading instructions have been correctly executed. The most common hardware failures are due to a misalignment of the heads in the disk drive. Such faults may be detected by loading the game on another computer. Alternatively, a virus may have transferred into your hardware from another piece of software. Pirated copies of games are an incredibly common source of viruses. It always pays to own orginal software. (a virus killer is a cheaper solution -RBL) In the unlikely event of a software fault, please return the complete package, with receipt to the place of purchase. Microprose regret that goods can't be replaced unless bought from the company directly. If you have any difficulty whilst loading MICROPROSE GOLF, or need help in geting the simulation to run.

PROTECTION We regret that organised (FairLight) and casual pircay forces us to use manual protection.
