Speed
The fastest way to run Giza is Graphics set at Low resolution, Every other line, Normal screen size and Sound: Music off.

Graphics
High resolution, All lines gives the best picture but is the slowest and is not recommended for less than a 68040 machine. The next fastest is High resolution, Every other line. The display will not be as bright. The next speed is Low resolution, All lines. This makes the image a little blockier. The last and fastest resolution is Low resolution, Every other line. Double screen size creates a full screen image. This should only be used on very fast machines.


Controls
To set the keys you would like to use click on the button to the left of the function you would like to change. In Figure 9 below the key that controls forward movement is being changed. When you click on the button it will be outlined in gold. Hit the key you would like to use for that function. The value in the button will change to the key you selected. When you have set all the keys click on the OK button to save your changes.
