1.1     Hardware Requirements

	POWER DOLLS is a DOS CD-ROM game. IT IS NOT A WINDOWS GAME! It is
	programmed to work best under MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, however you
	can run POWER DOLLS under Windows 95. See Section 1.6.

	If you are a Windows 3.1 user, do not try to run Power Dolls from
	the Program Manager or Window's DOS prompt. Exit Windows completely.

	You need the following in order to play POWER DOLLS.

	Minimum:        Intel 386DX CPU with 4MB RAM
			Double-speed CD-ROM
			VGA video card 
			MS-compatible mouse 
			5 MB free disk space (without voices)
			MS-DOS 5.0, EMS memory enabled

	Recommended:    Intel 486 CPU with 4MB RAM
			Double-speed CD-ROM
			VGA video card 
			MS-compatible mouse 
			SoundBlaster(tm) compatible sound card 
			23 MB free disk space (with voices) 
			MS-DOS 5.0, EMS memory enabled


1.2     Installation

	Windows Users Note!  You can install POWER DOLLS by selecting
	FILE RUN from the Program Manager menu then typing D:SETUP.EXE
	(where D is your CD-ROM drive letter) but don't try to run the
	game under Windows (Exception: Win95 users, see section 1.6)

	The installation program will not create program groups or icons.

	POWER DOLLS requires 500 KB free conventional memory with
	EMS enabled. Type "PD M" instead of "PD" to play if you
	don't have enough free conventional memory but performance
	may be erratic.

	Sound Setup. Use the default sound card settings when possible.
	These settings will work with most sound cards.

	Check your card's settings by typing "SET" at the DOS prompt.
	A value string like the one below will appear.

			BLASTER=A220 D1 I5 T4

	Note the A(ddress), D(MA) and I(RQ) values. Then type "INSTALL"
	from your Power Dolls directory on your hard disk to configure
	the game with the same settings as your sound card.


1.3     Technical Notes

	VOLUME CONTROL

	Raise and lower the BGM (background music) volume by pressing
	the UP(key 8) or DOWN(key 2) arrow keys on your keyboard/keypad.

	Turn the BGM ON/OFF by pressing the SHIFT+CTRL keys at the same time.
	
	Turn the Voices (if installed) ON/OFF by pressing the V key one time.
	
	Turn the SFX (sound effects) ON/OFF by pressing the X key one time.


	BYPASS INTRODUCTION/QUICK EXIT

	Exit the game at any time by pressing the SHIFT+ESC keys together.
	WARNING! This will erase your current game.
	BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR GAME before using this hot-key sequence!

	You can also skip the game introduction by right-clicking the mouse.


1.4     Compatibility Issues

	1. CD-ROM. Game will hang if you remove the CD-ROM from the drive.

	2. SOUND. The manual incorrectly states the soundtrack is MIDI and
		  Roland(tm) compatible. The soundtrack can only playback
		  on SoundBlaster(tm)-compatible cards.

		  NOTE: Win95 users can enjoy the MIDI tracks on the CD-ROM
			by using their standard Media Player.

	3. Video. We designed and tested the game to work with standard
		  VGA cards. If you encounter video problems, try playing
		  the game with a different video card to see if that
		  particular card is the source of your video problem.

1.6     Windows 95 Users

	If you're an intermediate/advanced Win95 user, the instructions
	below should be enough to guide you through the installation.

	WE DO NOT PROVIDE FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT for Win95 problems.

	The following advice is provided "as is" and Megatech is in no way
	responsible if you muck up your Win95 setup.

	Win95 Installation

		Place the POWER DOLLS CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
		Click on START in your taskbar then select RUN.

		Type D:SETUP.EXE (where D is your CD-ROM drive).
		Leave the default settings (most PC sound cards are
		configured to Address 220, DMA 1 and IRQ 5).

		Press F1 to install to your hard disk.

	Win95 Desktop Shortcut

		After installing the game, create a Shortcut.

		Right-click on any empty area on your desktop then left-click
		NEW SHORTCUT.

		Type the (default) command "C:\GAMES\PD\PD.BAT" or select
		BROWSE and find PD.BAT on your hard disk.

		Name the shortcut "POWER DOLLS" or anything you like.

		Next select an icon and click FINISH.

		Your new Shortcut will appear on your desktop!
		Right-click on the shortcut then left-click on PROPERTIES.

		At the Properties Window, left-click the PROGRAM Tab then
		left-click the ADVANCED button.

		Remove the check marks in the boxes to the left of:
		   "Prevent MS-DOS based Programs from detecting Windows"
		   "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary"

		Click OK. You're done!

		PS. Check out the icon we created for your Shortcut.
		    At the Properties Window, click CHANGE ICON then
		    click BROWSE and open the file PD2.ICO in your
		    PD directory.


	FINAL NOTE: A shortcut only instructs Win95 on what environment
		    to launch a program under, so be sure your sound
		    card and cd-rom drive are configured correctly!


1.7     Upgrades & Misc.

	Thank you for buying Power Dolls. We think you'll enjoy the game
	play and the cool Anime graphics unique to Megatech games.

	If you bought our past games, you may be wondering if this game
	has a sexy upgrade. Sorry to disappoint you. There is no upgrade.

	Don't worry though. We're hard at work on several new sexy games!
