                        =========+++++++++++===========              

         System Requirements:

         IBM and 100% Compatibles (Minimum 512K RAM required)

                               Mouse Information

           Here is the mouse version of "The Magic Candle II". It does not
         support EGA or Tandy 16-color graphics! Check the game manual for
         information on how to control the mouse.

                            Sound Card Information:

          The MC2INST program automatically detects machine hardware but 
         some Sound Blaster and Adlib compatible cards may show as 'no 
         sound board'. You will be allowed to override that and choose the 
         board that your card is compatible to. The program does not 
         automatically detect a Roland sound card, but will allow you to 
         choose Roland for music (you can also choose Adlib or Sound 
         Blaster for sound effects if you have that board also installed). 

          Optionally, Sound Blaster owners may wish to try both Adlib and 
         Sound Blaster settings for sound effects and then choose the one 
         that you like best.

                                IBM DEMO NOTE:

           As a special feature, players playing the IBM Playable Demo 
         may transfer all their save games from the demo into this game by 
         installing this complete version into the same directory in which the
         Demo is currently installed on the hard drive (do not delete your 
         existing files in that directory). 

                           SPECIAL GAME INFORMATION:

           During the course of your hero's adventures in 'Magic Candle II', 
         your characters will have a chance to learn special "songs" that will
         enable them to both entertain the party as well as magically effect
         certain monsters. It is up to the characters to find out which songs 
         exist, who can teach that song (to those with musical ability), what 
         instrument is used to play the song, and what special effects (if any) 
         that song will produce when played. A song which produces special
         effects will sound like just another tune unless played in the 
         correct situation.

          As described in the game manual, hero profile E starts the game
         with several musical instruments as well as several songs known.
         To learn which songs known can produce magical effects, he must
         still uncover clues throughout his adventures or by experimentation.

         HINT: Using the Lyre when encountering slimes will play the song 
               "Mage's Joy" and lull the slimes to sleep.

        Information on "MAGIC CANDLE II" Install Program (MC2INST.EXE)

         If the install program has problems scanning your hardware, an 
        option has been added to allow you to skip this function. Due to 
        the fact that no hardware was scanned all the questions will 
        default and when you select options it will tell you that you do 
        not have that particular hardware. However, you can override 
        the default options and enter the correct settings for your machine.
