File

The File menu has options to Play the game and Exit.  You can also select the way your graphics card will create the graphics (this is known as the graphics driver).  The fastest and recommended setting is 3D HAL, this option will use any 3D Hardware Acceleration your video card might have), MMX is the second best choice if it is available. 

Modes

The Modes menu lets you select the resolution and color depth in which you would like to play the game.  When selecting any of these modes the game will be in full screen mode.

Difficulty

Here you may select the level of challenge you require in the game.  The options are Easy, Normal, and Hard.

Speed

You may select the speed of the game play in this menu. Options are Slow, Normal, Fast, and Insane.  This is another way to change the difficulty of the game.  The speed will change all aspects of the game, including Chomper, Ghost, and Fruit speeds.

Other

There are three options in this menu that you can enable or disable.  On levels with multiple mazes the ghosts can jump mazes just like Chomper can.  If the Shrink Ghosts option is enabled then the ghosts will appear smaller when they are not in the same maze as Chomper is.  When Chomper is on an upper maze this makes it easier to tell what maze the ghost are in.  The Enable Joypad option needs no explanation.  Extended Control Keys enable the ability to use the NumPad, these keys may be easier for you to use if you have a hard time reaching the HOME and END keys to move up and down mazes.  Here is the key mapping for the NumPad: 8 = Up, 5 and 2 = Down, 4 = Left, 6 = Right, 7 = Down one maze, 9 = Up one maze.  The Change Volume option brings up the windows volume control which controls the sound levels for the music and sound effects.  Enable Complex Objects means that Chomper3D mazes and dots look more real, but slow performance on some slower machines, if you have a 3D accelerator or Pentium II 300 or greater, then we recommend enabling complex objects.

Help

The Quick Key Chart option will bring up a window with the most common controls for Chomper3D.
