   Some third party (other than Microsoft) EMS Memory managers have been found

to REBOOT your computer when you try to run the game.  To correct the problem

either remove the line "DEVICE = EMM386..." from your config.sys file and

REBOOT your PC (if you do not use any program that requires EMS memory)  or

create a BOOT disk (see the game user's manual on how to create a BOOT disk).<BR>

   If you set the Collision detection to OFF, some games may not work properly

like 'protect from asteroid' which will not work at all (the base never gets

destroyed by the incoming asteroids).  Other games may look funny (moving

spaceships may pass through planets, buildings).<BR>

<BR>
