I. Getting Started
------------------
There is no need to run an install program before playing the game.
To start, simply insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Once the
game window has opened, click the Pajama Sam icon.
II. Gameplay Information
------------------------
A. System Requirements
----------------------
Macintosh CD-ROM
System 7.0 or Higher
Minimum 25MHz 68040 or PowerPC
8MB of Ram
640x480, 256 colors
Double-Speed CD-ROM Drive
B. Using the Mouse to Control Pajama Sam
----------------------------------------
Point and click to guide Pajama Sam through the Land of Darkness!
As you move the mouse around the screen, the pointer changes to
reflect the type of action it will perform when clicked.
A clear arrow acts as the standard pointer in the game. When you
see the empty outline, it means that the mouse is not currently
pointing at an object which can be activated.
Pay attention when you see the pointer turn solid. It means that
the object you are pointing at can be picked up, manipulated, or
activated.
A large arrow shows that there is more exploration to be done in
the indicated direction. Just click to send Sam off in the
direction of the arrow. The large pointer also shows the exit from
a puzzle or mini-game.
C. Sam's Inventory
------------------
Sam's inventory is not usually visible, but will spring into view
when the mouse pointer is moved to the bottom of the screen.
Inventory Items are objects which Sam has picked up during his
adventures. To use an item, just click its picture in the
interface. The mouse pointer will change to a small representation
of the item which was chosen. Now, click the pointer on an object
in the current scene to use the two items together.
The Quit button (which appears on the left side of the inventory
bar) provides a quick way to exit the game. Just click, and you
will be presented with a dialog box asking you to confirm whether
you want to stop playing.
D. Keyboard Commands
--------------------
<Spacebar> Pauses the game, and opens the pause dialog box. This
will also make the menu bar visible across the top of
the screen.
<Escape> Fast-forward through the current cutscene. (A cutscene
is one of the game's animated sequences)
<Period> Same as the <Escape> key, but skips only the current
character's line -- not the entire scene.
<Shift><F5> Toggles the game between running full-screen or in a
window.
<Command><Q> Quit the Game
<Command><R> Restart the Game
III. Technical Issues
---------------------
Error: The game was unable to open its preferences file.
--------------------------------------------------------
The preferences file has become corrupted, and will need to be
rebuilt. To do this, open the Hard Drive->System Folder->
Preferences->Humongous Entertainment. Inside this folder you
will find a file called Humongous Prefs. Drag this file to
the trash, then start the game. The CD-ROM will be tested once
more, after which the game should be fine.
Choppy Sound and/or Video
-------------------------
Many times this can be caused by memory settings which are not
optimal for our game. We suggest going into the memory control
panel, and setting things up as follows:
Cache Size: 256k
Virtual Memory: Off (unless your Mac is a PowerPC)
32-bit Addressing (or Modern Memory Management): On
RAM Disk: Off
No Sound
--------
The game's volume may have been muted. Try holding down the command
key, then selecting a volume level from the game menu. This should
cancel mute, if it has been selected.
Error messages which make references to Scripts, Costumes, Code
Blocks, Actors, Globs, Music Read Failures, Illegal Sounds, or
SCUMM
---------------------------------------------------------------
In many cases, these types of errors are the result of a disk
that has become dirty or damaged. The first and easiest thing to
do in this situation is remove the CD-ROM from the drive and
examine the shiny side in the light. Quite frequently CDs become
fingerprinted--especially by little fingers. If the disk does
look fingerprinted, a simple cleaning of the CD-ROM may get the
game running. If the disk appears to be scratched, or if
cleaning does not solve the problem, contact our Technical
Support department.
Other Problems
--------------
If none of the solutions listed above resolve your problem,
an extension conflict may be the culprit. Try going into the
extension manager and turning off all extensions (except ones
which are necessary to operate the CD-ROM). Once you have
restarted the computer, run the game.
As a last resort, you may also want to try reinstalling the Apple
System Software. Some really strange problems may be caused by
corrupted system files, and reinstalling the system software will
take care of these.
