 This install applies to "Oil Imperium/Black Gold" © 1990 reLINE/Electronic Zoo.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
 These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.

 The installed program requires 1 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem.
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").

 The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 an appropriate message.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
 "util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.

 Features:
 ---------
 The game has some timing problems on fast machines. I hope I have mostly fixed
 them, if not you have to live with that.
 The original german and english version and the Quartex/MTG cracks are
 supported by this install.

 version 1.1 (05.02.08) done by Wepl:

 - one wait loop slowed down to match original speed better (done at
   Amiga meeting East in Halle 2017, greetings to all :)
