I saw that too, and I think it stinks. It lists those "minimum 
requirements" on a label that says "WINDOWS 3.1 CD-ROM" in large bold
print. Doesn't mention DOS at all on that label. Naturally one would
suppose the requirements are for playing under Windows. Open the box --
SURPRISE!!!!

I think that fellow "Ken" -- who seems to speak for Sierra -- ought to
apologize for this, and make sure it NEVER happens again. This is one
of those times I wish I were an attorney -- people should have recourse
against that kind of bull. If it were up to me it would sting more than
a little!
