+===== Running the Game =====
+Start the game via the file ''GO.EXE'', the (minimal) config screen will load allowing you to choose either //FM// sound or //MIDI// output.
+//At present I am unaware if the MIDI option is limited to a certain hardware interface, or if it will work with any of the standard Roland MPU MIDI interface cards available for the PC-98 (the PC-98 MPU-II and the Super MPU).//
