most games
developed today target high-end PC's with expensive 3D video cards.
- F8 Bowls was designed specifically to require a minimal PC platform,
and will play on a 486 or pentium 1, with any standard Video card.
- F8 Bowls will run in DOS, Windows 3.1, 3.11, Win95, or WIndows 98, NT.
- F8-Bowls will also run on High-End PCs, Windows 2000, or Windows XP,
however, to play the game, it will need a TRUE DOS envirnment to run.
Note: If you are using a high end PC/Operating System, PLEASE view the "(readme).txt"
after downloading on KNOWN BUGS & COMPATIBILITY with Windows 2000/XP setups
What happens after Version 2.42 ?
After Version 2.42...
I have changed programming languages...
QBASIC had too many restrictions and limitations to allow me
to make the Game in the way I really think it should be played.
Version 3.0 is being completly re-written in a Windows environment
programming language, as this allows for much better graphics, sound,
and compatibility with higher end Windows operating systems,
such as WIN 2000 and
XP.
Version 3.0 will most likely be have Two main versions...
The first, a smaller freeware (demolike) Group tested version
with less detail and complexity...
The other, will most likely be called F8-Lawn bowls 3 (Pro edition)
packed with extra
details and gaming options. This commercial release, will most likely require
a small payment, to help re-claim the costs of the Programming Software (compiler)
and the years of internet access bills , need for the support of this evolving,
F8 - project.
