IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MICROSOFT ARCADE ******************************************** Welcome to Microsoft Arcade!

Here’s some information to help you install Arcade on your computer, as well as troubleshooting tips for sound and video display.

BEGINNING TO PLAY: Just Point and Click! You can play any of the Arcade games – just double-click the Arcade folder, and then double-click the icon of the game you want to play. Arcade shows a short demo of the game. To start game play, choose New Game from the File menu or press COMMAND-N.

CUSTOMIZING THE GAMES: Create Your Personal Versions To change the keyboard and mouse controls that you use to play each game, choose Player Controls from the Options menu. To customize playing speed and other game variables and create your own personalized versions of the games, choose Customize Game from the Options menu.

COLOR MODES: Troubleshooting Tips You can play Arcade using either 16 or 256 color modes. Arcade will NOT run in Thousands or Millions color modes. To change your color mode, double-click Monitors in your Control Panels and choose either 16 or 256 colors. You can usually find the Control Panels on the Apple menu. If you don’t see Control Panels on the Apple menu, double-click the System folder, double-click the Control Panels folder, and then double-click Monitors.

32-BIT ADDRESSING: Troubleshooting Tips Arcade will not run properly on some Macintosh models if 32-bit addressing is NOT turned on. If you have problems running Arcade on your computer, you will want to make sure that 32-bit addressing is on. Normally, your computer will be setup with this option turned on and this should not cause any problems.

To check if 32-bit addressing is on, double-click the Memory control panel. The option under ‘32-Bit Addressing’ should be turned on. If it is not on, select ‘on’, close the Memory control panel, and restart your computer. You will need to restart before the changes to 32-bit addressing will take effect.
