From where can it be run?

The game can be run directly from floppy disks, but is better installed to a hard disk.

Copy Protection

The original game comes with a map, which acts as the copy protection mechanism. When the game starts you will be asked to enter a specific location.

There are cracks out there that circumvent this.

How to Setup

There is no setup or configuration program for Centurion.

To run the game after installation, simply run centurio.exe.
The game automatically detects if you have an Ad Lib sound card and will use that, otherwise it will play sound via the PC speaker. If you have a Roland sound device, type:

centurio roland
