DOUBLECROSS (tm)
----------------
DoubleCross is a strategy game for two players. The goal is to build a
solid connection between two sides of the playing board. Each player
tries to connect their sides while blocking their opponent's attempts
to do the same.
This program will work with CGA, EGA, Hercules and VGA graphics modes.
When you run the program, you will be presented with a simple list of
display modes supported. Simply press the key corresponding to the
mode of your choice and the game will continue loading. If you do not
know which type you have, try them all until you eliminate those that
your computer cannot support. Remember that the graphics get better
on the EGA and VGA modes.
To start the program, type DBLCROSS at the DOS prompt.
Advanced Information
--------------------
For CGA displays, DoubleCross uses the high-resolution monochrome mode
to better show the board and pieces. The VGA support is true 640x480,
16-color support and shows much greater detail than the EGA mode.
Any MS-compatible mouse is supported but you can also use the keyboard
at the same time. This means that one player can use the mouse and the
other can use the keyboard if you do not like trading the mouse back
and forth after each turn. We have tried this software with the
following mouse manufacturers: Microsoft, Logitech, and Genius.
If you try to run this program with a mode that your computer cannot
support, you will see a blank screen. If this happens, don't panic!
The game probably has loaded so you can press the 'Q' key to quit. If
that doesn't work, you might have to reboot the computer. All of
this should not happen if you correctly identify your computer's
proper display type.
If you get annoyed at seeing the display menu, you can tell the program
from DOS when you run it by adding the letter for the display mode on
the same command line after the program name:
DBLCROSS C - loads in CGA mode
DBLCROSS H - loads in Hercules mode
DBLCROSS E - loads in EGA mode
DBLCROSS V - loads in VGA mode
