Version differences
- The following versions are known to exist[1]
Version 1.0
When looking through CGII.EXE, it contains the strings "Version 1.0" and "12/26/90". This version does not support Adlib sound. The box for this version said "Adlib upgrade available", this was an upgrade that could be ordered from Epyx for $10.
Version 1.2.1
When looking through GCII.EXE, it contains the strings "Version 1.2.1" and "4/3/91". This version has Adlib support.
Essential improvements
Bypass video selection
By default the game will ask on each start which video mode you want to use. This is not mentioned in the games manual, but this can be circumvented by appending a letter representing the video mode to CGII.EXE. For instance CGII V will bypass the video selection screen and start the game in VGA mode.

Notes
- ↑ File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data.
- ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1418350/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1418350) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
