 '''Hoyle's Official Book of Games: Volume 1''' is the first in the [[Hoyle's Official Book of Games series|Hoyle series]] of licensed computer game simulations of popular non-electronic games.  The first volume featured the multi-player card games Crazy Eights, Old Maid, Hearts, Gin Rummy, Cribbage and Klondike.  Several computer-AI controlled opponent players were based on developers at Sierra, and characters from previous Sierra adventure games.

+===Required data files===
+For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/use_scummvm/game_files.html user documentation].
+WARNING: Unlike other games, SCI games have significant variation in the naming of required files.
+They also can load supplementary files by resource maps, so it is recommended to keep all files in the game data directory from the CD.
+Unless otherwise specified, do '''NOT''' remove any file from the directory, even if it does not appear on the following list, since this will likely cause weird bugs.
+Copy all files to the game directory. Some games need additional work:
+'''''Floppy games with RESOURCE.p01, p02, etc. and/or RESOURCE.a01, a02, etc. files'''''
+* Concatenate all RESOURCE.p0* files to RESOURCE.000 (e.g. <code>copy /b RESOURCE.p0* RESOURCE.000</code> on Windows, or <code>cat RESOURCE.p0* > RESOURCE.000</code> on *nix).
+* Concatenate all RESOURCE.a0* files to RESOURCE.AUD (e.g. <code>copy /b RESOURCE.a0* RESOURCE.AUD</code> on Windows, or <code>cat RESOURCE.a0* > RESOURCE.AUD</code> on *nix).
