*****Tips
Use "m72 imgfight -vert -qf 1" to start Image Fight in vertical display mode
and set quick-fire on button 1.
Set the gamma value larger than 1 for increasing the display contrast.
Try "-res 640x480" if the default 400x300 or 512x384 display mode is not
applicatable on your video system.
Always use "-ppro" for Pentium-pro and Pentium2 and Celeron systems.
