 This install applies to "Kick Off 3" © 1994 Anco.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad and DIC to be in the path.
 These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires:

 OCS version:
 1 MB ChipMem (+1.8MB for Preload). 

 AGA version:
 2 MB ChipMem (+1.8 MB for Preload).

 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features OCS version:
 ---------------------
 - Full load from HD
 - Load/Save from data disk supported
 - Protection removed (12xchecksums, 4xdisk checks, 1x "Cobra X-Rom encryption")
 - Keyboard routine fixed
 - Automatic creation of data disk (see below)
 - NewIcon and OS3.5 color icons (created by Irek'72, Dr.Zarkov and Exotica)
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')

 Features AGA version:
 ---------------------
 - Full load from HD
 - Load/Save from data disk supported
 - Protection removed (12x checksums, 4x disk checks)
 - Blitter waits added (x6)
 - Access fault in sample player fixed
 - Interrupts fixed
 - Decruncher (ProPack) relocated to fast memory
 - Bplcon0 color bit fixes (x7)
 - Keyboard routine fixed
 - Automatic creation of data disk (see below)
 - Quit option that works with NOVBRMOVE tooltype (default key is 'F10')
 


 Not much to say about this one, I coded the patch back in
 March 2009 but never got around to creating the install package
 because of a problem with the AGA version (1 file is corrupt).
 Thus this patch only supports the ECS version (SPS 191) at the moment,
 AGA support will be added later when I fixed the problem with
 the corrupted file.
  
 Just like the European Challenge version the patch for the ECS
 version needs 1MB Chip mem because the Anco coders were unable
 to code a simple relocation routine, instead, they provided
 2 binaries of the game, one for 1MB Chip machines, 1 for
 machines with fake fast at $c00000. No further comments needed!

 Load/Save is fully supported, if you already have a data
 disk you can use DIC to create an image of it. The
 data disk must be named disk.3.

 The slave will create the data disk if none is found.
 You can disable this feature with the CUSTOM1=1 tooltype.

 Notes about AGA version:
 ------------------------

 With the current situation in the world where it is advised to reduce the
 social contacts to an absolut minimum there suddenly is a lot of free
 time. Which I decided to use for finally finishing the support for the AGA
 version of Kick Off 3 which I left unfinished back in April 2009.
 Yesterday (21.03.2020) I finally restarted the work on the patch, fixed
 a few problems and today I finished it. The game is much better than I
 actually remembered it, quite playable football game. Load/save is supported,
 I have also updated the install script, it now allows to install the save
 disk too.
 
 That's it for this one, stay safe and healthy everyone!
