3D graphical adventure game, with unique items, over 40 monsters and over 30 kinds of spells.

Dragon Bane Version 1.13

(c) 1998 Palm Creations

Thank you for trying out Dragon Bane, by Palm Creations!

EXPLANATION OF DEMO VERSION:

This demo is fully playable, except that only the first three levels

are accessible until you purchase a license. After purchasing the

license, you will be able to unlock this demo into the full version,

and continue playing any saved games from where you left off.

To purchase the full version, visit PilotGear H.Q. at:

http://www.pilotgear.com

and search for Dragon Bane

When registering at PilotGear, you will be asked to provide your

Pilot Username and your Registration Code -- both of which can be found

by pressing License from the Dragon Bane menu.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Dragon Bane consists of four files that must all be installed before

you can play. The files included with the Dragon Bane distribution

are:

* DrgBComm.pdb

* DrgBAdv1.pdb

* DrgBMaps.pdb

* DrgBane.prc

Save game files:

There are six save game slots. Each save game you create will create

a new pdb file (for example DrgBSav0.pdb) that will automatically be

copied to your desktop computer each time you hotsync. This way, you

can backup and restore save games on your computer in case you lose or

overwrite them on your Pilot.

Upgrading Dragon Bane:

If you are upgrading Dragon Bane from a previously installed version,

_do not_ delete any Dragon Bane files on your PalmPilot before installing

the new version. This way, all your save game slots, and your

license key, if you have entered it, will remain intact.

related questions.

other general questions.

information regarding solving puzzles, or other game play elements.

established, and occasionally will monitor an online Dragon Bane

forum. See the Palm Creations webpage for details.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:

Should any minor enhancements be necessary, Palm Creations may make

unannounced free upgrades available on the Palm Creations website. In

the unlikely event that a major fix is required, the new version and an

announcement will be posted to various online PalmPilot software

archives as well.

The Dragon Bane engine was designed with expandability in mind. Look

for other Dragon Bane-type adventures in the future. Palm Creations may

also release free level-creation tools as well. Until we make such

announcements, we will not provide any information on future Dragon

Bane-related products or development tools. We would, however, be

willing to cooperate with anyone interested in constructing Dragon

Bane maps, faqs, websites, translations, web mirrors, or other

information.
