MindRover is a 3D strategy/programming game. This is a brand new genre that
incompasses the depth of play found in strategy games with a new concept in
player control. You get to program the intelligence of robotic vehicles.

The backstory is that you are a researcher on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. In
your free time you re-program the rovers to race around the hallways, battle
it out with mini lasers and rocket launchers, and find their way through
mazes.

Once you have chosen the challenge, you equip your vehicle (hovercraft,
wheeled or treaded) with various sensors, movement components, and weapons.
Then you program the behavior of your vehicle in a graphical interface where
you wire the components together and set their properties. Then let it go in
the arena and watch how it does! You can't control them while they are in
competition - but you can stop the competition and tweak your vehicle until
you do like its behavior.

The competitions take place in a 3D world in and around the space station.

CD Audio got the boot, rest is here.

Unzip, run INSTALL or unACE manually, run REGSETUP.EXE if done manually.
Run MindRover.exe to play the game.

If any prob of the game whining for a DLL file, unzip DLL.ZIP into your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, or where ever you have Windows installed.

Notes about the game:
We had some probs with the original CD of this game, so we wanted to provide
some tech support for this game.

This game is default at 640x480. To run at a higher resolution (800x600 or
1024x768), you must import res800x600.reg or res1024x768.reg into your
registry, which is located in the root directory of the game. Just double
click on the file through Windows Explorer or type regsetup <regname>.reg
at the dos prompt.

This game is also VERY picky on drivers and OpenGL. You must have OpenGL
v1.07 or above to run this game. Go to http://www.glsetup.com to get the
latest OpenGL installed. You also will need the latest video drivers that
supports OpenGL for your video card.

Also if you keep getting probs about OpenGL, run new3dfx.bat, old3dfx.bat
or standard.bat, depending on your OpenGL driver.
