Welcome to the "Promised Land" and "Big Log" CD ROMs. There are a few
points addressed in the manual we would like to reiterate before you
install and play:
RAM
Both discs require an absolute minimum of 5.5MB available RAM, above and
beyond that required by your system software. This means they will play
on an 8MB machine if your system overhead is less than 2.5 MB. Too many
fonts, extensions, and other utilities will deny play. To compensate,
eliminate as many of these options as you can until you are beneath the
2.5MB level, or ideally, get more RAM. This later action will improve your
experience with "Promised Land" and all other software.
QUICKTIME
We have included a copy of QuickTime 2.1 (For Macintosh) and QuickTime
2.02 (For Windows) on our disc. If you do not have QuickTime on your
machine, or if you have version that is older than those mentioned above,
you will need to install the enclosed version of QuickTime to play our
games. Please read the manual for instructions. If you do have the same
version or a newer version of QuickTime, you should not have to install the
versions on our disc. After installing Quicktime for Windows on a Windows
95 machine, be sure to add the file
"MSVHDW95.QTC" to the folder where the Quicktime components are
stored, normally your "Windows\System" folder. Failure to do so could
result in reduced performance.
16 BIT COLOR "Our software was designed to play in 16-bit graphics mode.
While it may play in 8-bit, 256 colors mode IT WILL LOOK FUZZY. If you
currently have an 8-bit (256 colors) system, you should definitely upgrade
to 16-bit ("Thousands of Colors") or 32-bit (aka 24-bit, "Millions of
Colors")
The video and animation in our game were designed to play across a very
wide spectrum of machines and platforms. On the Windows side, our
absolute minimum configuration is a 486/33 with a double-speed drive.
On the Macintosh side, our absolute minimum configuration is a 68030
series Macintosh with a double-speed drive.Playback of video and
animation on these machines may be slow or slightly out-of-synch. The
more powerful the machine, and the faster the CD ROM drive, the better
the performance you will likely realize.
FULL-SCREEN VIDEO
We have enabled some of our videos and animation's to play full-screen. To
do so, go to the "Inventory" utility (the "X" in the upper left-hand screen),
click on the "Key" icon, click on the monitor icon until you have a full-
screen, click on the green check, then click on the "Return" arrow icon. If
you wish to make the opening animation full-screen, go through this
process immediately upon completion of the opening credits (when the "X"
first appears). Please note that the "Big Log" disc does not have this
function. Please note, however, that bringing these movies to full-screen
will cut both their speed and resolution in half. You may return to half-
screen mode by again clicking on the monitor until the half-screen state
is shown and then clicking on the check mark.
SECRET MUSIC VIDEOS
EMI Records has included three music videos on the "Big Log" disc: "I Am
I," "Disconnected," and "Bridge." You will find them hidden among the
other 23 videos embedded throughout "Big Log."
SAVE GAME
When using the "Save Game" function (by selecting the "Key" icon from
the "Inventory" screen), please take very careful notice of the letters you
enter. It is easy to mistake the letter "l" (L) for the number "1" (one),
and the letter "O" for the number "0" (zero). See Manual for further
instructions.
MAP NAVIGATION
We have included a system of rapid navigation. When you click upon the
"X" in the upper left-hand screen, you jump to the inventory screen. There
you will find on the right images of each of the five Artist Worlds plus the
Forest. Clicking upon the image of the forest in the lower right will
"jump" you to this location. Clicking upon any of the five images of the
Artist Worlds will reveal four locations within each of these worlds.
They are initially black and white, meaning they are unavailable to you.
As you explore each of these worlds, the images on the Inventory screen
will turn to color, meaning they are now available to you as shortcuts. As
they turn to color, click on these images to "jump" to these locations.
