Hey, what do you expect?-)

In V0.9 lists of all cards are integrated, plus description of some of
them (more in V1.0). The current @{"Frequent Asked Questions" link "STCCG:faq.guide/WHOLEFAQ"} by
Decipher is also part of this document and finally also a good share
of the Internet Series @{"Card of the day" link "STCCG:cotd.guide/COTD"} is finished.

I'll hope you enjoy this guide and the game.

@Node REQUIREMENTS "STCCG.guide/Requirements"

        @{u}@{b}Requirements@{ub}@{uu}

STCCG.guide should work on any Amiga that has OS 2.1 or higher and has
the amigaguide.library and a viewer for amigaguide-files (e.g. multiview).
Of course, you could also use a text viewer...

1MB of memory is enough for operation, but more memory is indeed
recommended.
