---------------
The minimum specifications for running Championship Surfer are:

1.7 Last Minute Details
-----------------------
You are able to start the game multiple times. This is not recommended because of the possibility of the game crashing because of low system resources.
When you start a multiplayer game you cannot use the mouse to select. Selection must be done with the keyboard or a controller.
While in game setting up the Championship Surfer controller you will notice that the game says you can program 8 buttons. You can only setup the 4 that are on the controller and the other buttons are there for controllers with more then 4 buttons.
