My new computer has plenty of memory. Why can't I install or play the game? The Cactus League Professional Basketball and Cactus League College Basketball games are DOS programs. They run perfectly in a DOS window under Windows 3.11, Windows 95, and Windows 98. But, all DOS programs use conventional memory. The most conventional memory any computer has is 640K.

How long does it take to play a game? Many factors have an effect on the speed of computer programs, including microprocessor clock speed, amount of memory, amount of free disk space, operating system and other programs running concurrently. In speed tests that we have run with a Genuine Intel Pentium IITM 350 megahertz processor with Intel MMX TechnologyTM, 128 Mb random access memory and several hundred megabytes of free disk space using Windows 98, you can play an average game in approximately 1/2 second, in instant mode. All systems are different and your time may vary. Generally, the faster the processor, the more memory and the more free disk space, the faster any program will run. Of course, if you wish to coach one, or both teams, the game can be configured to allow you to make the necessary game time decisions and the play-by-play text speed can be configured to be displayed as quickly or slowly as you wish. |
