********************************************* 
* 01. Setting up Horrorween 
********************************************* 

In the supplied package you'll find a config 
tool called ConfigHorror which contains a few 
more or less useful setup options. 

They'll mostly have to do with either graphics, 
speed or both, and of course sound ;-) 
(see speed issues below) 


********************************************* 
* 02. Gameplay 
********************************************* 

The plot of the game is pretty simple, stay 
alive. You'll start out with one level and 
gamemode, which is the Arcade. If you don't 
die too fast, you'll unlock the next features. 

Of course we can't tell you everything ;-) 


********************************************* 
* 03. Controls 
********************************************* 

That's another simple concept, use the 
arrow-keys to move your man on the screen. 
Use the mouse to aim and fire with the left 
mouse button. 

The other buttons/keys which are nice to know 
about are as follows: 

Right Mouse button: Cycle through weapons 
Space bar         : Pause game  (need a break?) 
Suicide           : Escape      (got enough?) 
Emergency Exit    : Alt+F4      (boss around?) 

********************************************* 
* 04. Highscore 
********************************************* 

If you've had a sneak-peak in the config-tool 
already (of course you have) you've seen that 
we've set up an Internet Highscore option. This 
means that you'll download the 10 best scores 
on the level you're playing to see if you're 
amongst the finest slaughters on the net. 

Remember, even if you enable it, it might still 
not work due to timeouts, firewalls, unplugged 
cables (*grin*) and so on. 

You'll always have your own little local 
highscore-list anyways. 

********************************************* 
* 05. Speed issues 
********************************************* 

The game may appear slow on your computer, and 
instead of using the always funny "It's time 
to upgrade your system again, Luke!" you can 
try removing the Mist and Smoothing option on 
the config-tool, which are things that makes 
the game look abit cooler but not game 
dependant. Also change the resolution and 
graphics rendering to see if it makes a 
difference. 


********************************************* 
*  06. Troubleshooting/FAQ/Support 
********************************************* 

From our helpdesk I can hear the following 
phrases being shouted over and over again: 

  "Reboot!" 
  "Have you checked your cable?" 

I don't think we have any Frequently Asked 
Questions or Answered Questions yet, but we'll 
let you know if something appears. 

If the game crashes, please try to turn of the sound 
before anything else. Sound drivers can make more 
problems than any of our creatures can.
