- FULL THROTTLE (TM) DEMO

-
- TO START
- To play Full Throttle simply select it from the "Sampler" demo menu.
-
- OVERVIEW OF THE DEMO
-
- This demo consists of three interactive segments, each representing
- an area and style of gameplay from FULL THROTTLE. In all three
- segments, you control Ben, leader of the Polecats. The controls for
- each section are not all the same, but you'll always be steering
- Ben through different environments, using him to find clues, and
- helping him fight his way past obstacles.
-
- THE KICKSTAND
-
- Ben's been tricked, knocked out, and thrown out with the garbage.
- This makes him mad. He needs to catch up with his gang, but
- someone's taken the keys to his bike. Help Ben make someone pay
- for this.
-
- First, get Ben out of the dumpster. He'll punch the dumpster
- wherever you point the cursor and click, so just hit the right
- place and he'll pop out. Now, walk Ben around. Just point and click
- on the ground and watch him go. Look at the cursor. When it's over
- an interesting object, it either goes "hot" (framed by red brackets)
- or becomes an arrow. The arrows indicate exits. Click with an
- arrow, and Ben will walk that way and enter another area.
- (Double-click with an arrow, and Ben will jump to the new area
- immediately!)
-
- When the cursor is "hot," (for example, when the cursor is over the
- dumpster) click and HOLD DOWN the mouse button. Yikes! What is that
- thing!? It's a flaming tattoo! It's covered with icons. These icons
- represent actions Ben can take on the object you clicked on (the
- dumpster). While the tattoo is on the screen, slide the cursor over
- the boot and let go. Ben should kick the dumpster. Bring up the
- tattoo again, slide the cursor over the eyes, and let go. Ben
- should examine the dumpster. Next, try the hand and the mouth. This
- is how Ben interacts with his environment. Try different actions on
- different objects and see if you can make something interesting
- happen. Use your fists on the front door of the bar. Talk to the
- bartender (use the mouth.) Kick the piano. Try it all, until you
- find Ben's keys.
-
- THE BIKER ROAD DUEL
-
- This part is totally different from that last part. Forget about
- that part. Now you're on the road--The Old Mine road! There are no
- cops here, no rules--just bikers. Bikers who are looking for
- trouble.
-
- Swerve left or right with the mouse. Select a weapon (Ben's fist or
- his tire iron) by clicking the right mouse button. Use the weapon by
- clicking the left mouse button. If at first you don't succeed--punch,
- punch again.
-
- THE CAVEFISH HIDEOUT
-
- The Cavefish are a nasty, antisocial, cult-like gang who live in a
- secret cave off the Old Mine Road. Living underground all their
- lives, the Cavefish are very sensitive to sunlight, and wear special
- opaque goggles that help them navigate the road using the bumps on
- the center line. Ben would normally steer clear of them, but they
- have something he wants--a ramp. He needs a ramp to jump Poyahoga
- gorge, and since they stole it from Ricky Myran, Ben feels justified
- in stealing it back.
-
- When you're off your bike, this area works the same way the
- Kickstand area does. You get the flaming tattoo interface and all
- that. But, when you're ON your bike, you only control WHERE Ben
- drives. When the cursor passes over something Ben can drive to,
- you'll see a big yellow road sign. Click the mouse when you see the
- road sign, and Ben will ride off! Click anywhere else on the screen,
- and Ben gets off his bike and walks. Walking's pretty lame, I know,
- but sometimes you gotta do it.

- Performance Issues
-
- The Full Throttle Demo contains a preview of an exciting new
- addition to this genre of game in the Biker Road Duel section.
- Unfortunately, this part of the demo may appear somewhat slow on
- older computers that do not have accelerated video hardware
- (a VL or PCI Local Bus video card).
-
- Joystick Control
-
- There is currently NO support for joystick control in the demo.
- Please use your mouse to control Ben.
-
- Boot Disk
-
- The Full Throttle Demo runs in Protect Mode. Most computers with
- 8MB of RAM will NOT be able to run the demo immediately after
- exiting Microsoft Windows or with Windows-optimized startup files.
- If you encounter any problems running the demo, please make a boot
- disk. You can make a boot disk by selecting the Make Boot Disk
- option from the Main menu on the Sampler demo CD-ROM. Or by typing
- "bootdisk" from the root directory of your CD-ROM.
