APPLE II AND IBM COMPATIBLE COMPUTER INFORMATION:

Many of our games will work on Apple II and IBM compatible computers. Most of our games will work on an Apple II GS in
the Apple II emulation mode.
If you own an Apple II GS, Apple compatible or IBM compatible computer we suggest that you consult with our Technical
Hotline at (408) 737-6810 any workday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Pacific Time, to see if an SSI game you’re
considering purchasing is compatible with your computer. If we have insufficient data to determine compatibility, you may
wish to purchase the game and test for compatibility yourself. If the game proves to be incompatible, you may return it
within 14 days with your dated receipt and we will refund your money. Or, if you return the game within 30 days, you may
exchange the game for another.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A DEFECTIVE DISK

Each of our games undergoes extensive playtesting prior to its release. Through this process we hope to uncover
and correct any errors in programming. However, due to the complex nature of our simulations, some program er-
rors may go undetected until after publication. In addition to errors in the program, there are occasionally problems
with the disk itself. We experience the industry standard of approximately a 3 to 5% failure rate of duplicated disks.
Before assuming that a disk is defective, make sure to check your disk drive. Up to 95% of the disks returned to us
as defective will run fine on our computer systems. Often the problem is with a disk drive that needs servicing for
alignment, speed, or cleaning.
Should you have a defective disk, please return the disk only (keep all other parts of the game) to our Customer
Support Department, along with a note describing the problem you have encountered. A replacement disk will be
provided upon our receipt of the defective disk.
Should you uncover an error in the program, return both your game disk and any “save game” disks to our Customer
Support Department. Please enclose a description of what was taking place in the game when the error occurred.
Upon correction of the program error, we will return an updated disk to you.
Always make sure to include your name, address, and daytime telephone number with any correspondence. We will
do our best to see that any problems are corrected as soon as possible.
