JOYSTICK SETUP WITH BANZAI BUG
For Joystick control, you must have at least a 2-axis, 2 button
joystick (a 2-axis, 3-button joystick is optimal). Joystick controls
can be customized by using the Options/Control Type/Customize Joystick
Buttons menu.
If you enter the Options/Control Type section of the game and the only
device available is Keyboard this means your system is not recognizing
your joystick. If you are experiencing problems with your joystick, we
suggest you do the following:
1) Consult the documentation that came with the joystick.
2) Re-calibrate the joystick in the Control Panel/Joystick section of
Windows 95.
3) Make sure the game is set to 'Joystick Only' or 'Keyboard and Joystick'
in the Banzai Bug Options/Control Type menu.
SPECIFIC JOYSTICK ISSUES
Microsoft Sidewinder Pro 3D
If you are using the MS Sidewinder Pro joystick, be sure to go to the
Control Panel/Joystick section of Windows 95 and calibrate it before
playing the game. Also, when calibrating the joystick, make sure the
Rudder option is checked.
* Before you install the SideWinder 3D Pro software, check the Control
Panel to make sure it includes a joystick icon. If not, your game
port may not be functioning properly. Refer to your Microsoft Windows 95
documentation for help adding or configuring your game port.
III. GAMPLAY
Once you have Banzai Bug and DirectX installed correctly go to the
Start menu and select Run. Type in "C:\TEMP\BANZAI\EXE\Demo2.exe"
(where TEMP is the directory you extracted to) to start the game.
Select New to start a new game or Load to load a saved game. Once
the first level starts your mission is to find food without getting
killed by the robobugs.
IV. GAME OPTIONS AND SETTINGS
SAVING AND RELOADING YOUR GAME
Banzai Bug saves your game automatically after each level, using the
name you give it during startup. To resume a saved game, select "Load"
when you start the program again and select the file from the standard
"load file" box that appears.
ADVANCED OPTIONS MENU
3D Accelerator Hardware - Banzai works only on certain 3D cards. If you
have a 3D accelerator card and the Yes option is available use it.
If not, leave it set to no.
Force Rendering in System Memory - Choose yes if your system has 32 or
more Megs of RAM to speed up your game.
Shading Quality (High or Low) - Low Shading makes the game run faster.
High Shading makes things stand out more.
Textures (All, Some, None) - No textures will run fastest, but the game
won't look as nice. All textures (what the game starts with) looks best,
but runs slowest.
DISPLAY OPTIONS
Banzai Bug can be shown on your screen in different ways:
Windowed Full Screen
High Resolution High Resolution
Letterboxed Letterboxed
Low Resolution Low Resolution
Small (Fastest) Small (Fastest)
In addition, the game can be viewed in 64K colors (High Color) or 256
colors (Full Screen mode only).
Windowed Mode displays the game in a standard window on your desktop,
with the menu shown at all times. Note that this mode is not available
if the program is set to a different color palette than your desktop.
Full Screen mode lets the game use your whole screen. The 256 color
display (as opposed to the 64K "High Color" display) is only available
in this mode.
High Resolution displays the game in a large box. It shows the greatest
amount of detail, but runs slower.
Letterbox shows the game in a long strip in the middle of your screen.
It is somewhat faster than the High Resolution mode.
Low Resolution shows the game in a large box, but with less detail.
It runs fastest of the large display options.
Small shows the game in a smaller box on your screen, instead of using
most of the screen. It is the fastest mode.
High Color shows the game with rich colors. Note that the program will
run in High Color even when your desktop is set to 256 colors, but only
in Full Screen mode.
256 Color uses a more limited palette. Available in Full Screen mode,
it is used when High Color is deselected.
