This version of Dungeon Keeper supports 3D accelerator cards using the
Direct3D standard. To play Dungeon Keeper Direct3D, you will need a supported
graphics card (see list below), and the latest DirectX5 drivers ready
installed. You will also need the original Dungeon Keeper game.

This readme also applies to the Direct3D version of the Deeper Dungeons,
to play this you will need the Deeper Dungeons CD, and the Deeper Dungeons
Direct3D upgrade.

If you do not have a supported graphics card and DirectX5 you should play the
standard version of Dungeon Keeper.

Note to Dungeon Keeper Gold owners : the Dungeon Keeper Gold CD already
contains the Direct3D version and the Deeper Dungeons. You do not need this
upgrade.
