==HOW DO I START IT?==

Hi there! Thanks for downloading Battle in the Future! To run it, simply run "BitFuture.exe" (you might want to make sure it's
extracted, though). It should be able to run very well on Windows (at least on 7 and onwards). It may not run correctly on very
old versions of Windows and platforms that aren't Windows. If it does run correctly on a platform that I stated was incompatible,
then please let me know.

If you are able to make it run correctly, then I hope you'll enjoy it!
