- more of the following commands after the word ANOTHER (insert a
- space between each command).
-
- V = VGA graphics card

- e.g. if you wish to use VGA and SoundBlaster type ANOTHER V S and

-
-
- MUSIC/SOUND
-
- Another World features digitised music and sound effects on 4
- channels, which takes up a considerable amount of memory. If you
- have a slow PC this may result in slower graphical animation. We
- would advise the following to enable you to get maximum enjoyment
- from the product:
-
- only use a joystick if you can't manage without.
-
- do not use EMM (EMM386, 2EMM etc.) memory manager. Some
- versions of these memory managers take up much memory and
- slow the game down.
-
- if the game is slow, use option 2 (type ANOTHER 2); the
- sound effects will be medium quality but the game will run
- faster.
-
- if all else fails to speed up the game enough use the N
- option (type ANOTHER N)
-
-
- JOYSTICK
-
- If the joystick control is not sensitive enough for you, you can
- caliberate it by using option C (type ANOTHER C).
-
-
- KEYBOARD CONTROLS
-
- Use the cursor keys on the numeric keypad to move the main
- character.
-
- Fire button is any of the following:
-
- Space Bar.
- Enter on the main keyboard.
- Enter on the numeric keypad.
- 5 between 4 and 6 on the numeric keypad.
-
- Press C at any time during the game to access the code entry
- screen. Codes will be given to you at the time of the character's
- death. Entering a code will start you at the relevant start point,
- rather than having to start at the beginning every time you play.
-
- To switch the sound on or off press S. However do not expect this
- to work if you have chosen the N (no sound) option.
-
- To pause the game press P. To resume play press any key.
-
- To exit the game back to DOS press ALT - X
