Starting the Game

To join the Pink Panther in his amazing adventure, do the following:

If your computer’s operating system is Windows 95(TM) with the Explorer interface (default setting)...

...click on the start menu. From there first select "Programs" and then "Wanderlust" similar to what is shown in the picture on top. Selecting "The Pink Panther’s Passport to Peril" will start the game. If your display is not set to the optimal resolution, the program will offer to temporarily switch the display settings for you if possible (see Display Settings in how to change these settings manually).

If your computer’s operating system is Windows 3.1x or Windows 95(TM) with the Program Manager interface...

...double click on the Passport to Peril icon that has been set up in the Passport to Peril group.

When you start the game you will see a cinematic introduction. After you have viewed it once it may be skipped by using the escape key (Esc) when it is playing.

If you are having difficulties starting the game, please check out the Technical Support  section. Otherwise read on  to play the game.


Playing the Game

Your goal is to help the Pink Panther solve the mystery and save the kids of Camp Chilly Wa Wa. Click on characters and objects to move the Pink Panther around and make him interact with other characters. As a secret agent, you must be charming, polite, and unassuming. Leave no stone unturned in your search for clues. Pick up items and use them later in the game.

If you encounter technical problems during the game, please check out the Technical Support  section.


Navigation

Passport to Peril is entirely mouse driven. Both left and right mouse buttons can be used on anything that makes the Pointer ( [image]) highlight. Some keyboard shortcuts have been included to enhance game play. You can use them to review animation and dialog so you don’t miss valuable clues.

Active characters and objects

You can right and left click anything or anyone that causes the cursor to highlight ( [image] ). While an animation sequence is playing nothing else can highlight. If the Pink Panther or any other character is talking, you can’t click on anything else until they finish. But you can hit the space bar to skip forward if you wish (see the Quick Keys section of this manual).

Left Clicking

The left click is the Action button ( [image] ). It animates characters and objects or causes Pink to interact with them. Sometimes Pink will pick up items that you click on and put them in his deep, pink pockets. You can access those items when you click on Pink. It will cause an Inventory Window to pop up (see the Inventory  section of this Help file for more info).

Right Clicking

The right click is the Information button ( [image] ). Right clicking an object causes the Pink Digital Assistant (PDA) to tell you about that object. If there is a photo or writing about it in the PDA, the PDA Icon will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the screen (See the PDA section of this Help file).

Menu Bar

Some other functions, such as saving a game state or getting help, are incorporated into the game’s menu bar. The only difference with a standard menu bar is that the menu hides unless you move the mouse into the uppermost part of the game’s screen.


Cursors and What They Mean

Passport to Peril makes use of a number of different cursors, all easy to use.

	The Pointer When the cursor is over a non-active area of the game this cursor appears. It is the default cursor.
	The Highlighted Pointer When the Pink Pointer rolls over a character or object that will animate when clicked, the Pink Pointer lights up. This is a signal that the character or object may be clicked upon.
	The Use Inventory Cursor This cursor appears after an inventory item is selected with the Pink Pointer. It holds the item until it is used on the appropriate character or object. Use the inventory item on the Pink Panther to place it back in his inventory.
	The Waiting Cursor This wristwatch cursor shows that the game is doing something technical like loading data. This process may not be interrupted. Yawn.
	The Modal Cursor This cursor tells you that you have to wait until the current sequence of events is over. This is usually the case during dialog lines.
	The Exit Arrow Cursors Arrows appear when the Pointer rolls over any area where you can click to exit the current location and go to a new location.
	The PDA cursor When Pink is using the PDA, the cursor changes to a pointer that functions like a normal arrow cursor and activates the PDA.


Inventory Items

This is the essence of playing the game. You have to find and use the inventory items to advance.

The Pink Panther has an inventory where he keeps items for later use in the game. If you click on an item and the Pink Panther puts it in his pocket, it ends up in his inventory.

You can select an item from Pink’s inventory to use on other characters or objects in the game. Simply left click on The Pink Panther and the inventory window will appear. Scroll through the inventory items available by clicking on the pointing hands, then click on the inventory item to select it. Move the item around the screen. A yellow highlight will appear around it if it can be used on a particular character or object. Left click on the character to see the results. If you have chosen the correct character the item will be used and then it will disappear from Pink’s inventory; if not, the item will reappear on the inventory cursor. Click on Pink again to place the item back in inventory, if it can’t be used or you want to save it for later.

The pink pointer won’t highlight on The Pink Panther, and the inventory window won’t open if The Pink Panther has no items in his inventory.

Don’t worry about being right or wrong. Try inventory items on any character that you can, and see the results.


Quick Keys

Passport to Peril is entirely mouse driven, but some keyboard shortcuts have been included to enhance game play. Both left and right mouse buttons can be used on anything that causes the cursor to activate.

Esc: The escape key skips a conversation when the sequence has been played through once. It will let you skip through the introduction or transition sequences and the beginning sequences of any page.

Space bar: The spacebar steps through an animation one action at a time. It’s handy to get you through areas quickly. But be careful, detective, or you may miss something important. You can also use the Right Arrow key.

P: The P key pauses the game. You may also choose to minimize the game using the minimize button. This will also pause the game.

R: The R key replays the last action.

F1: The F1 key brings up game help.

Left arrow: The left arrow goes back one animated action.

Right arrow: The right arrow steps through an animation one action at a time.


Menu Options

A standard Windows menu bar is used for program control, but is not visible during game play. The menu will display when the Pink Pointer (the cursor, for those not familiar with secret agent lingo) is moved up to touch the top of the window. If a menu item is selected, the game will pause. The menu bar will disappear when the cursor is moved back to the game.

Changing the Display Settings

In order to see The Pink Panther’s Passport to Peril display full screen and optimize the game’s performance, you need to change your display settings to 640 by 480 pixels with 256 colors.

In Windows 95...

...the program will offer to switch display settings temporarily for you when you start the game (but only if switching resolution and color depth does not require a reboot). To do this manually, open the Display Control Panel (The control panels shows up in the start menu under "Settings"). Pick the "Settings" tab and set "Color Palette" to 256 colors and "Desktop Area" to 640 x 480. Hit OK.

In Windows 3.1x...

...consult the manual that came with your graphics card on how to change resolution and color depth.


Minimum system configuration

Your spy hardware must be configured to run either Windows 95(TM) or Windows 3.1x with DOS 5.0 or higher.

•	If running Windows 95(TM) you’ll need an IBM compatible computer with at least a 486 DX2 66MHz CPU and 16MB of RAM.

•	If running Windows 3.1x you’ll need an IBM compatible computer with at least a 486 66MHz CPU and 8MB of RAM.

•	Headquarters recommends a Pentium CPU and 16MB of RAM.

Set your surveillance display monitor to 256 colors and 640 x 480 pixels. That way you won’t miss a thing!

Your mouse, and I’m not talking about a cheese-eating fur ball, must be Microsoft or Windows compatible. Being an agent of superior intellectual ability, you probably guessed as much.

A 2X CD-ROM drive is sufficient, but a 4X works even better.

You’ll need a Windows compatible sound card that outputs sound at 8 bit, 22kHz. You never know who might be looking over your shoulder, so to insure the secrecy of your mission you might also try a pair of headphones.

Lastly, you’ll need at least 10 Megabytes of free hard-disk space to install the program.


Technical Support

Note on Technical support: If you have difficulty installing or running Passport to Peril, please read the Technical Support section in this Help file before calling technical support. By checking the items listed, you may be able to solve the difficulty more quickly on your own.

Please do not call the technical support line for hints. Hints can only be found in the hints section of the help drop down menu  on the menu bar and on the Passport to Peril webpage.

The PDA

Get the knowledge

The Pink Digital Assistant (PDA) is a hand-held computer. A combination travel guide, history book, and etiquette manual, the PDA is an in-depth guide to the cultures you and Pink will encounter. The PDA is chockfull of interesting photos and facts. Facts you can use to broaden your understanding of the world, or to impress people at cocktail parties (once you’re old enough to actually attend cocktail parties). How does this wonderful invention from the lab of Von Schmarty work?

Using the PDA

There are several ways of using the PDA. One way of getting it up on the screen is to use the PDA menu.

Clicks with the right mouse button

When something clickable in the game catches your fancy, simply click on it with the right mouse button. This will not actually bring up the PDA’s screen, but prompts an informative phrase on the clicked person, place or thing. If a PDA Icon appears in the bottom left corner of the screen there’s more information about that object in the PDA.

Right clicking within the PDA has no effect on the game.

PDA Icon

When the PDA Icon appears in the corner, click on it with the left mouse button. This will make the PDA appear and display the related information. And don’t worry about getting lost in this wonderful world of information; the game pauses while you browse through the PDA.


Using the P.D.A.
Using the PDA

Once the PDA is on your screen, there are a number of ways to reach the various fact pages. The tool bar at the bottom has four icons. They are from left to right:

PDA Help

The question mark brings you to the PDA help, where you can learn how to use the PDA.

Back

The back arrow takes you to the last PDA fact page you visited, including fact pages, domain pages and the navigator.

Home

The home icon takes you to the domain page for the topic page you are visiting.

Pink’s associates have "set up shop" to tell you about their favorite subjects of the countries visited. These domains are:

•	Boss Man’s Java Café (Arts and Entertainment)

•	Voodoo Man’s Fashion Boutique (Clothing)

•	The Aardvark’s Greasy-Spoon Diner (Food)

•	The Inspector’s Excavations (History)

•	Pugg, Louie, and Dog Father’s Tub (Nature)

•	The Ant’s Space Discotheque (People and Language)

•	The Little Old Lady’s Zeppelin (Places and Maps)

•	Dr. Von Schmarty’s Introspective Mountain (Religion)

Navigator

The Navigator icon brings you to the PDA navigation page.

More

If a Fact Page has more than one screen, a green "More" Button will appear in the top right corner next to the title.  Push that More Button for more information about that fact page.


Using the PDA's Navigator Page
Using the PDA’s Navigator Page

This is a way to get to any domain in a hurry. Use the small arrows to turn the country wheel and the topic wheel to your desired location. Then push the "go" button (up arrow) and WHAMO! you’re in a Domain. Below is an example of a domain page.

Fact Pages

This is the heart and soul of the PDA. Photos and facts galore! Everything you wanted to know about the countries Pink visits, and a whole lot of stuff you didn’t know you wanted to know. Read the text. View the pictures. Broaden your horizons. Copy it word-for-word into your homework assignments. We don’t care. Please note that at the bottom of each fact page is a related topics box.

Related Topics

Clicking the pink paw icon next to a related topic will bring you to another fact page that has information related to the current fact page.

Back to the Game

After meandering through the PDA, you can get back to the game by hitting the "off" switch above Pink’s right thumb.

Introduction

The Pink Panther needs your help! Something has gone horribly wrong at Camp Chilly Wa-Wa, leaving world peace hanging precariously in the balance. Chilly Wa-Wa is no ordinary camp, and the kids there are no ordinary campers. It will take all of your deductive powers to solve this mystery.

Since you’ve chosen to accept this mission...

Remember to pack all your secret spy tools, your hand-held computer and a sweater unless, for some reason, you have fur like your pink partner. You’ll be traveling around the world with the Pink Panther, visiting diverse cities like London, Bombay, Cairo and Beijing, and tromping through the Himalayan Mountains and England’s green and pleasant pastures. But LOOK OUT! Danger lurks around every corner. Or almost every corner. Let’s say every fifth corner. An evil plot is afoot, and the bad guys may be tailing you and we’re not talking about long pink tails either. So keep your eyes and ears open, listen and watch, watch and listen, check your watch before time runs out. Click that mouse as if your life depended on it... because it just might!

This is where the secret agents are separated from the obvious agents. Read through the Help file carefully, commit it to memory, then shred and eat it, so it won’t fall into the wrong hands (You might want to use a light marinara sauce to liven up the taste). There is more info here on how to start game and how to play it.

Parliament Square

In England there’s much work to do

like empty rubbish, find a clue

then trade your prize for printed lies

and deposit them to golden eyes

Sir Baldley won’t move out the way

Until he’s read what gossips say

That’s when you can walk right through

to find a boy who’ll talk to you

Stuck with trash? No, we won’t tease.

Cast your eyes up, inspect the trees!


The Mucky Duck Pub

A busy pub, with jobs for you

like serving drinks and British food

Then you can chat with the comic-loving brat

Who eats and eats but won’t get fat

The golden girls are older than most

And raise their tea cups up to toast

The latest news is what they crave

Deliver it, and watch them rave!

Want to play a game of darts?

Lose the guy whose low on smarts

Offer him the food he’ll wish,

and watch him become a doggie’s dish

Can’t chat with the man of dart board fame?

Try calling him by proper name.

Learn from a cranky uniformed lad

About the man who’ll help you find Nigel’s pad


Country House

Sorry to say there’s just one way in

You’ll need to answer to gain your way in

Once rid of the boy, try costumes galore

until you can enter through the fancy front door


Drawing Room in Country House

Here you’ll need to rifle through

drawers and junk to see what’s new

Look around, take a peek

Make the butler go away and you will find what you seek

Found a secret out of reach?

Extend your arm, that’s what I’ll teach

Check around! No, don’t you tire!

Snoop about the place of fire.

Careful not to leave behind

What’s come loose in the meantime


Stonehenge

Blind pesky rascals you despise

By very quickly shining light in shifty eyes

Reflect the morning rays

To set their eyes ablaze.

But first you’ll need to make them look

Try sneaking ‘round like a common crook

Then they’ll drop and cry out too

So you can take what belongs to you


Desert

This crazy man who lives to sell

might finally prove to help you well

he’ll ask for treasures, jewels or money

but the way to his heart is through his tummy


Cairo

Visit vendors on each street

some will greet with jokes or meat

use the meat on a horse’s master

to help you solve the mystery faster

Cairo, Again

Please accept this helpful tip:

Take a moment to coffee sip

Then trade the mug

For a creepy rug

And your reward will be skewered grub

Check back with coffee’s sippers too

They might return that rug to you

Or better yet, make Mouth’s throat wet

By double-checking a vendor’s threat


Nile River Bank

Those waters could eat a panther alive

Don’t waste your time with a local’s jive

Look to friends you know from before

Tempt them with things that they adore

Pass on a parcel you were asked to deliver

Then confide in a pony just whose heart she makes quiver


Farming Village

Better arm yourself real quick

Stop dogs who play such dirty tricks

What’s long, and digs, and rests nearby

Will prove to be your "tool ally"

By tearing into fertile grounds

You can bury pesky hounds

But bait them first with leaves of green

Then watch them dive in the ravine

Next find a bird who’ll finish the job

After gaining a note, survey the whole mob

To find the young Einstein to decode for you

The curious note -- she’s a girl, you know who!


Opera

Is your make-up puffed?

Is your costume on straight?

Then there’s no reason you can’t sing great!

You say you don’t know how to sing?

Find a cat who’s opera’s king!

Don’t go without a proper fight!

Use a sword! Crash a light!

Puff those looks right off their faces!

Send them flying to their places


Home

Dinner’s served but you’re not seated?

Free a friend who hasn’t tweeted

Then sample food, there’s no catch!

Then snoop around for things to snatch.

Be real thorough, that’s the law

Check every cupboard, table, drawer

A hissy cat has got you heated?

Place bait where once a bird was seated!

The little dish there on the table

Will make the clever trapping able

Then say bye-bye,

I don’t mean to meddle

But you’re best off clicking

a thing you peddle


Village

To cross that stream, you’ll need a boat

Use what your head would call its coat

Is he asking for incense? Sticks that smell?

And you don’t think you have ‘em, but you can’t tell?

A sure way to gain them: don’t act coy

Retrieve the bird that belonged to the boy

You’ll need some skin, a vegetable’s will do

Then use them on the bird who’ll coo

Return the tweeter by using the bike

You can bet he’ll be one happy tike

When you return the thing that tweets

You’ll earn the burning incense treats

That’ll win you the hat! A coat for your head.

Look back on the earlier hints that you’ve read.


Thimpu

A frantic archer who is perplexed

Will trade you an item for a miscast hex

Then our work is cut out,

There’ll be much land to harrow

Start by removing the target’s lone arrow

And clean up after a gray-haired neighbor

Who has left behind the daily paper

Then journey on to a nearby town

To make some trades and look around

Thimpu, Again

It’s your turn to shoot? You’ve no arrow or luck?

Make use of the feathered thing that goes "cluck"

It won’t hurt the birdie, won’t scuff up its wing

But it just might help you meet the Bhutanese King!

Meet him you will, the exchange will be pleasant

And he will present you with a valuable present.

Thimpu, the Third Time

Remember what the little lady said?

The name of the building where prayers are led?

Show off your smarts to a hard working monk

And the food in his hand? Why, he’ll throw you a hunk.

But show him respect by dressing correct

Use the item you gained when you first cast a hex


Bhutanese Village

Vie for the cook’s only chicken, indeed!

To gain it, give her something to read

Then try the open window of a smiling young lady

Who’ll propose an exchange you might find a bit shady

Give her what she wants, and you’ll do just fine

Take what you’ve got to the archery line

Bhutanese Village, Again

Someone needs the King’s gift more than you’d ever

It’s that smiling window woman, and she’ll return the favor

Take what she gives you to the statue so gold

And remember what it was that the milkmaid told

You’ll gain a clue, that should rev up your motor

The tip will help you find the missing royal rotor

But don’t leave without chatting to a lady who’s little

Her information will help you progress in this riddle

Bhutanese Village the third time:

Use that dough on places sunny or shady

Still no luck? Try it on the old lady!


Bombay

So much to do! So little time!

Hurry or you’ll fall behind.

Charm snakes and win a flowery prize,

Then offer it to the man with closed eyes

Misplaced the snake? Check a village close by

Look in the place that will prove the least dry

Then visit a lad with a zeal for seasons

And gain a pinch of his powder for no good reason

You won’t know why now, but it could help you out later

When invited to dinner and you’re asked to cater

A ticklish man is selling ripe fruit

Use a feather to make him giggle and hoot

No feather you say? Try sampling the spices

The yellow holds future-telling devices


Indian Village

Can’t chat with folks, and now in a furor?

Is your cat-like breath both clean and pure?

When in Rome do as the Romans do -- right?

In India, tree branches keep choppers white

Next go feed a starving potter

To gain a pot that’s right for water

For when the well’s tied bucket is too short for you

Is when the potter’s homemade clay one will do

Milk that cow, and it’s you they’ll thank

Use the pot from whence the cow drank

Then help the family’s mom with dinner

You’ve got to eat! You’ll just get thinner.

Check your pockets for food supplies,

Then try a barrel for rice.

But still you’ll need some cooking water

Ask your friend potter, he’s nice!


Varanasi

This holy place commands respect

Still there are dots left to connect

Those stick-tossing boys, will part with their wood

Try tossing the branch to the place where you should

Talk to a small boy to learn some traditions

Then talk to a priest from respectful positions

Can’t find a priest? Knock on each temple door.

It’s well worth your while so please do try to endure

Ready to leave, but looking for flowers?

Then back to a market that hosts magic powers

The yellowish thing with glasses, who flies

Can help you win a marigold prize

Then back to the holy Ganges, know why?

To take care of your favor for the goddess of the sky.


Outback:
Outback

Snatch a bear’s favorite food from up in the tallest of shrubs

He’ll discard a poking stick just right for spearing some grubs

Outback again

Then use the fat friend

On that stick and he’ll mend

Now a digeridoo is in sight!


Aboriginal Village:
Aboriginal Village

Then use the fat friend

On that stick and he’ll mend

Now a digeridoo is in sight!


Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day One:
Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day One

Off to the right, there rests a hut

Click for Von Schmarty, if you’re in a rut

When he’s packed in a sucking machine that’s cool

You’ll need to find a useful tool

Check the places where planes hang out

For an item to help you wrench open the spout

Then click the machine to shake out your friend

Then on to another puzzle again

It’s fun to move the game along

Put stray items back where they belong

Then poke around, have fun explore!

For soon you’ll have a crucial chore

Can’t get rid of dogs, who disrupt and torment?

Try using a shoe that Von Schmarty’d invent

Then finish the job with a board that flies

To give those dogs a stinging surprise

Find yourself locked out from a place you must tread?

Use that code that you were given to get into the shed!

Later...

You’ve got a long wood fishing pole, you’ve got a chilly lake

Matching the two, will help you to convince a reading boy it’s time for a break

Looking for the boy from England who thinks camp is a drag?

Trying searching in the cabin that flies the British flag!

Ready for a trip to England, but can’t get off the ground?

Ask yourself a simple few, the answer will be found.

Did you stop to see a friend, whose hair is white as snow?

Von Schmarty asked you to see him first, you know

Are you boarding on the correct jet, whose course is set for Britain?

Yes, follow these here printed tips we’ve taken time and written!


Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day Two:
Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day Two

Back so soon from your journey, sure, you’re never tardy

Your best bet now is to show what you’ve found to Von Schmarty

Stuck somewhere, you can’t get out, you don’t know what to say?

Try calling up your friend who’s Schmart on your PDA.

Can’t track down the little boy who’s all the way from China?

Here’s a few helpful hints that just might help remind ya:

You’ll find the boy whose name is Yung tucked up in a cabin

He’s hiding under a springy place so, poke around then grab him!

Then back to the place where all planes hang,

I shouldn’t have to remind ya

To board the one plane with colors that say

"This aircraft is headed to China!"


Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day Three

Your friend Von Schmarty is neck deep today

To stop rain set sights on the jammed dial-a-day

Check in the shed, for a crow made of steel

Then apply to the rock that’s made bad weather real

Check on that Dog Dad, he’s up to no good

Keep both eyes open like a proper spy would

Check by the lake for a clue that’s indented

Then share the good news with the man who invented

Follow your gut, and the clues surely trail ya

Right towards the jet that’s soon bound for Australia


Camp Chilly Wa Wa Day Four

Now back to work, the point is quite clear

The Dog Father needs catching, his downfall is near!

Gather your clues then confront him you must

You’ll need everyone to complete the big bust

Capture this doggy with words? No, you’ll need more!

So gather all evidence from beneath the wood floor

Then click on what sails but isn’t a ship

It waves in the air sometimes wiggles and flips

Make sure that a clue isn’t blowing in the breeze

Without it, beware, that your case won’t proceed with ease

Check near or in planes for a damning news feature

The clipping will help you convict the Dog creature

Behind nailed up boards is a clue that you need

You’ll need a tool to secure the good deed

Where are the tools? Oh, you’re smart as a fox!

You’ve got it! That’s right! In that trusty tool box.

Once you have all these items, go bust the bad seed

It should work out fine if these clues you did read

So you’ve pulled out your goods, and you’ve pointed the finger?

Now they’re mad? Well of course! Quick then, run! Don’t you linger.

Afraid of the dark, you say you can’t see

Use a glowing robo-head. Though it is creepy.

Screw the head in the socket, and light you will shed

Whoever thought you’d make use of a head!

Now arm yourself quick with real suck power

Then those twisted pups you can quickly devour

Plug in the sucker, and it surges with strength

Your next problem now just may be its length

Extend the cord well with what hangs on the wall

Then tear out the door to capture them all!

Can’t find the crooks? Not the kids? Not one body?

Check the funny old steam pipe on the hut of Von Schmarty!

Missing dogs still? Did you check in the water?

If you haven’t my friend, then I tell ya, you oughta!

Catch the one who proved two-faced

By searching under the staircase.

To find the kids suck with all your might

Inhale most everything in sight

The lake, the treetops, cabins too

You’ll find the lot, and then YOU’RE THROUGH!!!

1. Is it possible to run this program from DOS?

No, it must be installed and run from within Microsoft Windows 3.1x or Windows 95(TM).


2. The display is distorted, especially during animated sequences.

Check your video display driver. The display driver is a special type of software that Windows uses to tell your video card how to show graphics. You may need to get an updated version from the manufacturer, which usually can be obtained at no charge. Contact either the manufacturer of your computer system or of your video card to find out how to obtain the update.


3. The sound from the game isn't playing properly or can't be heard at all.
3. The sound from the game isn’t playing properly or can’t be heard at all.

First, check to make sure your output device (speakers or headphone) is properly connected. If it is, check to see if you can play other Windows system sounds; this can be easily done by playing waveform audio files (files with the .WAV extension) from Windows’ Sound Control Panel.

In the event you cannot hear the sound play, check to make sure your audio card’s drivers are installed properly; under Windows 3.1x, the low-level drivers must be loaded from DOS before Windows can load the high level drivers on startup. Ultimately, it may be necessary to re-install the card’s drivers; check with the manufacturer of your computer or of the audio card for information on how this can be done. Alternatively, as with video cards, it may be necessary to update the audio card’s drivers; contact the manufacturer of either the computer or the audio card for an update.


4. An error message appears immediately when the game is launched.

Even though you may have already run the installation program for the game, the CD-ROM disc still must be kept in the drive in order to play the game. Please make sure the CD is correctly inserted in the drive before launching the game.


5. Error messages appear occasionally during game play.

Since the program still needs to refer to files on the CD even after it has been installed, it is possible the program could be trying to access the disc, but it is not in the CD-ROM drive. Make sure the disc is always in the drive whenever you have the game running. Also, it may be possible that the disc is already in the drive, but it is not properly sitting in the drive. Try ejecting the disc and reseating it in either your caddy or the drive tray, then reinserting the disc and resuming the program.


6. Is there a version of this game available on floppy diskettes?

No, it is only available on CD-ROM. You would need more than 400 floppies to fit the game’s data on.


7. Difficulty moving the pointer across the screen or the screen becomes distorted whenever the pointer is moved.
7. I have difficulty moving the pointer across the screen or the screen becomes distorted whenever the pointer is moved.

When movement of the pointer becomes difficult, it may be because the pointing device you are using (e.g., mouse, trackball, trackpad, etc.) needs to be cleaned. Check with the manufacturer of the device for recommended cleaning methods. Also, you may need to adjust either the speed or sensitivity of your pointing device. This can usually be done by either running a special utility program that was installed with your device driver or through a Control Panel -- check the user manual for your pointing device for the preferred method. In the event the screen’s display is distorted whenever the pointer is moved ("mouse trails"), it may be necessary to upgrade either your video display driver and/or your pointing device driver. Check with the respective manufacturer for the availability of updated drivers.


8. An "Out of Memory" error message appears whenever the game is launched.

This error message may occasionally appear if you are running the game in Windows 3.1x (you probably won’t see this error message in Windows 95). If you already know you have enough memory installed in your computer system in order to play the game, make sure that you are not running any other programs in the background when you try to run the game. Sometimes, programs launch automatically on Windows startup -- many of these programs are merely system enhancements which are not necessary to run either Windows or the game itself. To check to see if this is the case, press Control - Escape to bring up the Windows Task List. If there are any items on the list other than Program Manager, highlight each one individually by clicking on it, then click on the End Task button to close the program. Do not End Task on Program Manager itself as this is needed for Windows to run.

(If you need to try this in Windows 95, press Control - Alt - Delete to bring up the Close Program window and similarly highlight each item and click End Task to close the program. Do not click the Shut Down button; doing so will exit Windows altogether. Do not End Task on either Explorer or Systray as these are special operating system programs needed to run Windows 95).

Another reason for this error to appear is that your Windows 3.1x system has enough "total" memory, but not enough "low" or "DOS" memory. Explanation: no matter how much RAM you add to your computer, there is never more than 640KB of "low" or "DOS" memory. Every program launched in Windows 3.1x needs at least a bit of this memory. If you get this error frequently, you may want to investigate how much lower memory is available before you start Windows and how much is available once it is started. If you are running DOS 6.x, use the memmaker utility to get this information. Windows 95 does not generally have this problem.


9. Can the game be run in resolutions other than 640 x 480 or in color depths other than 256?

Yes, but this is not recommended. The resolution of 640 x 480 with 256 colors is the minimum for Super VGA and is the standard around which the game was designed; if the program cannot switch your system to 640 x 480 on launch (it will ask for permission to do so), then it will try to run in a window centered on your screen -- however, the "playability" of the game is much better if you set your display to this resolution before launching. Similarly, the program will work if you are running more or less than 256 colors; however, if you are running less, the quality of the display will be poor and if you are running more, the system’s performance will suffer as the game will run much more slowly.

To find out more about display driver, read the section on changing your computer’s resolution. In Windows 95, the game will attempt to do this automatically, pending your approval.


10. There is an Online menu title in the menu bar; do I need a modem in order to play this game?

No, a modem is optional. If you have a modem and a Web browser, you may use it from within the game to visit Wanderlust Interactive’s homepage on the World Wide Web. Also, it can take you to Web pages that provide hints about playing the game or a location where you may enter your name once you’ve won the game.

If you are having problems with this part of the game, be sure to read the section on the web links.

Online Links

How the online links work

The program uses whatever Internet browser you have installed to call up the Wanderlust pages. The only way it can find out about the browser is by looking at what program is associated with the file extension .htm. So, if you are able to double click on any file named with the extension .htm and launch your browser, our program should also be able to launch your browser.

When you select an online link through the online menu, our program launches your browser with a file that is on your hard-disk. You may now click on any of the links to connect to our site. It is up to your browser to establish an Internet connection, and then it is up to your Internet service provider to make the connection to our site.

Check List

•	Do you have an Internet connection? To make use of the Internet online links, you must have an Internet connection. See next section.

•	Do you have a browser installed? You must have a browser, such as Netscape Navigator(TM) or Microsoft Internet Explorer(TM), installed and working on your computer. It must work on its own first, before it will work with The Pink Panther’s Passport to Peril.

•	Is your browser associated with *.htm and *.html files? If you have a browser, make sure that is associated with .htm files. Contact your browser’s manufacturer to find out how to enable this.

Do you access the Internet through an online service, such as AOL or Prodigy?

Sometimes online services do not allow a user to log on to the Internet automatically from a browser. The Pink Panther’s Passport to Peril program requires that your computer be able to log on to the Internet from the browser. The Passport to Peril links may not work directly from the game if you are using an online service’s proprietary browser.

If automatic spawning of your browser does not work, but you have a working Internet connection and a web-browser, you can still access the links manually by doing the following.

1) Log onto your online service or Internet provider.

2) Start up your web-browser.

3) Point your browser to the following addresses (also called URLs):

•	Passport to Peril page: http://www.wanderlust.com/peril

•	Wanderlust technical support: http://www.wanderlust.com/peril/support.htm

•	Winner’s page: http://www.wanderlust.com/peril/topagents.htm

•	Wanderlust home page: http://www.wanderlust.com

When I use the online link choices, it starts my browser with a page, but then cannot connect to any of the links on this page.

You have a problem with your Internet connection. Please contact your Internet service provider for help.


Optimizing Performance

If the "The Pink Panther’s Passport to Peril" is not performing properly, there are several things you might want to check to correct this problem:

•	As with any new multimedia program, please make sure you are running all of the latest drivers for your CD-ROM drive, your sound card and especially your video card. These can be obtained (usually for free) from either the manufacturer of your computer or the manufacturer of these devices. Please call their technical support number for any further assistance. In particular you should make sure that -- if you are running Windows 95 -- your CD-ROM is not running in MS DOS Compatibility Mode

•	If you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups under DOS 6.2, you might want to make sure that DOS’s SMARTDRV disk caching utility launches after the Microsoft CD-ROM Extension (MSCDEX) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file; this will improve the performance of your CD-ROM applications in general by caching them into memory. Also, you may want to increase the size of the SMARTDRV cache. For more information on this, please consult your DOS user manual or type HELP SMARTDRV from DOS.

•	For optimum performance your monitor should be set to 256 colors.


MS-DOS Compatibility Mode in Windows 95(TM)

Problems such as poor playback of  either the audio or animation may be due to Windows 95 being forced to use older 16-bit drivers for a device (e.g., video card, audio card or CD - ROM drive) because it does not have a 32 - bit driver.  This can be checked by right - clicking My Computer on the Desktop, selecting Properties from the menu and clicking the Performance tab; if the File System says 32 - bit, then the Windows 95 compatible drivers are installed — however, if it reads 16 - bit, then the system is using the older 16 - bit drivers.  Please check with the manufacturers of your audio card, video card and/or CD - ROM drive for updated Windows 95 drivers; if they do not have them, it is possible Microsoft may have subsequently released updated drivers, so please check with their technical support.


Technical Details

This section is meant for the technically savvy user who wants to know exactly what is going on.

Installation

On Windows 95, the installer will install the DirectSound sub-system as distributed with DirectX2. DirectDraw, DirectPlay or Direct3D are not installed. If DirectSound is installed for the first time, a re-boot becomes necessary. Should DirectSound fail to install, the game falls back to normal WaveOut.

On Windows 3.1x, the installer will install Win32s and WinG. These two sub-systems are vital to the application and failure to install these means that the game cannot execute. We are not installing the OLE libraries as part of the Win32s installation.

The installer will create a log file in the system directory called pptpinst.log which shows in detail what is being installed.

Un-installation

The Un-Installer will remove all the files specific to the game, but it will leave any of the three potentially installed sub-systems (WinG, Win32s or DirectSound) installed.

Windows NT

We do not support NT as a platform, even though the game should run just fine. You will -- however -- need at least Version 4.0 of Windows NT.


Known Incompatibilities

1.	Diamond Viper Pro video cards:  users of this card may notice color problems, especially in Windows 3.1x; this will happen in 8 - bit (256 colors) and 24 - bit (millions of colors) mode, regardless of the resolution.  Although we normally recommend running the program in 256 colors, our testing has shown the program to display better in 16 - bit mode (64,000 colors).

2.	Changing resolution while the game is running:  It is generally recommended users do not try to switch resolutions once the game is launched as this may introduce various problems in the game's display.

3.	Sound Card Problems:  certain sound cards running under Windows 3.1x (e.g., MediaVision and some Turtle Beach, but there might be others) may require running in "SoundBlaster - Compatible" mode in order to be recognized by our program or to play sounds properly; depending on the driver used, this may either be set in the low - level drivers which load from DOS or from a utility installed in Windows.  Users experiencing problems like this may need to set their driver for this mode in order to run the game; please check either your sound card's user manual or contact their technical support for instructions on doing this.

Saved Games

We have included a folder of saved games on the disk in case you need to jump quickly to another area of the game. The files are there in case of a problem. Use at your own Peril. To ensure that your game play is guilt-free, do not open these files except for emergencies. The saved game folder is called d:/install/saves. You’ll find it filled with saved game files that can jump you to the beginning of any section of the game. It is a hidden folder, so you will have to type the above command line under "Find" in the "Start" feature in Windows 95(TM). For Windows 3.1x(TM), open "Program Manager" and type the command line in the "Run" feature under "File."
