III INTRODUCTION TO THE GAME ============================ 1) Introduction To The Story Line: Ed is a friendly extraterrestrial being and a member of a scientific expedition exploring the galaxy, which returns to its planet after a long mission. Unfortunately, on his way past Earth, Ed drops a can containing a foreign substance brought back from the expedition. Upon contact with the Earth's atmosphere, the strange substance has some disastrous effects. Mountains rise up, oceans appear and disappear. Plants, animals and human beings undergo bizarre metamorphoses. Not only did the can hurt the Earth, but it landed close to Grögh, a drunken, old-fashioned brute with no future. Ed is tried for his carelessness, and is condemned to repair his blunder. He is sent to Earth to retrieve the can before it provokes new disasters. Ed has just landed on Earth when he realizes that a tremendous transformation has already taken place and that Grögh is now in possession of the can that gives him total control over the World! 2) Structure Of The Game Tonic trouble is an action adventure game based on the exploration of 11 different levels + 1 bonus level. The goal of the game is very clear thanks to the introduction sequence: Ed must find the evil Grögh's tower and retrieve the can with magic powers that he dropped on the earth. IV HOW TO PLAY THE GAME ======================= 1) Controlling Ed ----------------- Principle: Four keys on a keyboard (or buttons on a gamepad) and the directional arrows on a keyboard (cross arrows or control stick on a gamepad) are used for all control of Ed and Super Ed. The keys are named: "Jump", "Fire", "Run", and "Action". By default the settings are: > "Jump": A > "Fire": Space Bar > "Run": left shift > "Action": left control How To Control Ed: Note: All powers are not available at the beginning of the game. Getting them is part of the game's challenge. > Walk: directional arrows. > Run: "run" (left shift) + directional arrows. > Jump: "jump" (A). > Hit: "fire" (Space Bar). > Swim: "action" (left control) + directional arrows. > Start flying: "jump" (A). (once in the air). > Controls while flying: directional arrows (like a flight simulator). > Pogo stick mode: "jump" + "action" (A+left control). > Exit pogo stick mode: "jump" (A). > Enter the blowpipe mode: "action" (left control). > First person wiew in blowpipe mode: "A" > Shoot with the blowpipe: "fire". > Exit blowpipe mode: "action" (left control). > Interact with an object: stand next to it and push "action". Note: For French keyboards, the A key is replaced by Q. 4) Camera Control: ------------------ Use the numeric keyboard arrows to choose the viewing angle: Camera angle 5 Rotate the camera to the left 4 Rotate the camera to the right 6 Place the camera behind Ed 2 To see the action through Ed's eyes, and look around .. 0 + the directional arrows V TROUBLE SHOOTING ================== Playing on a P166 non MMX: -------------------------- >If you play on a P166 non MMX, you will have better performance by lowering the video settings (Option/Control/Video) Keyboard Controls: ------------------ > You must enable the numeric keypad in order to control the camera as described in section 4. > Some keys can not be chosen for controlling Ed since they are needed for the interface. These keys are: Tab, Escape, Enter, all Function keys (F1...), all keys of the numeric keypad, ^, [, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause, Caps Lock, Enter. > Control + Alt + Delete is not functional when Tonic runs. This is due to the use of DirectX 5. Sound: ------ > Sound Driver Busy: If your sound driver is busy when you launch Tonic Trouble you will be asked if you either want to free the sound driver (by closing the application that is using it) or play Tonic Trouble without sound. Loading Time: ------------- > The install progression bar may not always be accurate since loading time depends on your system performance. So don't be afraid if the bar is complete and you still need to wait a few seconds to access the level.
