With resolutions greater than 640 x 480 the game runs in its own window and can be run in the back- ground. The game can also run with more than 256 colors at the cost of speed. Memory Requirement ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, Capitalism requires a partition of at least 4MB RAM to run and will use up to 8MB RAM for a partition if it is available. This is reflected in the Get Info window available under the File menu in the Finder. We therefore recommend a total of 8MB RAM in the computer to allow Capitalism and the Mac System to run comfortably together. The game will refuse to run if there is not enough memory available for the game to start up properly. If this occurs you should quit any running applications make sure virtual memory is on. The total memory displayed in the About this Macintosh... window in the Finder's apple menu should be 16384k or greater. In the early stages of a game, there is not much game data to store in memory. However, as the game continues, more memory will be used to store game information. At some points if there is not enough physical memory, virtual memory will begin to be used. As a result, the speed of the game may be slowed down. Thus, to have the game run at the best possible performance, you should provide more memory for the game. Generally 5MB-6MB of free memory allows the game to run smoothly in most cases. If you have 8MB of unused RAM available the game will use all of it. QuickTime ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The music in Capitalism requires QuickTime in order to play. The game will play without QuickTime but there will be no music. QuickTime is available free from Apple Computer's web site, http://www.apple.com/. The full version of the game include QuickTime.
