Alien Breed ME File

READ.ME is a 6,054-byte ASCII text file. Most line endings are CRLF; the final ending includes LF-only blank lines. It describes the IBM PC edition, specifications, memory requirements, speed settings, and sound troubleshooting.

The text credits Team17 and A.V.M. for the conversion. It reports 256-color VGA graphics, PC beeper/AdLib/Roland/Sound Blaster music, and XMS requirements for sampled effects. These statements establish the local game's platform and explain the resource families; they are historical documentation rather than results of runtime testing.

File format

This is an uncompressed file with no additional game-specific binary wrapper.

Notes

No wrapper, signature, or structured binary header is present. Read the bytes as ASCII; a DOS-compatible single-byte encoding is also appropriate for preserving original text. .ME is simply the second part of the traditional READ.ME filename.

READ.ME is the primary source for this file. Web research did not identify an independent .ME binary format applicable to this collection. It must not be classified from generic extension databases.

The document's historical contact details and system recommendations were not checked for present-day applicability. No executable was launched to verify its reported behavior.
