Because piece selections in COLOR CROSS require nimble mouse dexterity, you may want to reduce your mouse's acceleration and sensitivity settings before playing. CLX.EXE is the only essential file, and it will run from either a floppy disk or hard drive. The file CLXSMPL.CXC may be opened from within the game as an example of an initial board. REGISTER.DOC is the program registration form; it may be opened and printed using any text editor. When CLX.EXE is started, the user enters a character based shell with two menus: 츴ile� and 츶ame�. The menu items under 츴ile� enable you to open a board file, save a game in progress, or exit the program. Under the 츶ame� menu, selecting the item 츿lay� begins a new game or returns to the one in progress, and selecting the item 츷elp� provides a detailed set of directions and registration/copyright information. Note: If you run COLOR CROSS from MS Windows 3.x and find that you lose your mouse cursor, you must add a statement to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to load the MOUSE.COM driver from your Windows directory. For a directory named WINDOWS on drive C, the statement would be: c:\windows\mouse.com Comment out any other mouse drivers in AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS and reboot your computer. For more details, see your Windows manual. Although it has no direct analog I know of, COLOR CROSS is a kind of abstract board game. Like most abstract games, there is only a small set of properties involving piece selections, motions, and interactions to learn; but you must know them in order to play. In conjunction with reading the directions carefully, I suggest demonstrating the properties for yourself by running through situations on the game board, which is fully editable. Generally, someone who already knows the game can teach you very quickly. A few of the game properties such as the number of pieces on the board, the initial board configuration, and the number of pieces moved during a turn have been left open. See the section RECOMMENDED PLAY in the 츷elp� window, which outlines a recommended play scheme. COLOR CROSS is the first in a trilogy of two-player strategy games together with BATTLE CHARGE and TUNNEL WAR (currently unfinished). If you enjoy COLOR CROSS, you can not lose trying the others.
