- This archive contains files to allow users of the DOS version of "Pro Pinball
- - The Web" to run a native Windows 95 version. Please note that you will need
- the DOS version of the game, and Microsoft's DirectX (preferably version 2,
- version 1 will only allow you to use 640x480 modes) already installed on your
- computer, neither of which are contained in this archive. The best place to
- obtain a copy of DirectX is to find a magazine cover CD with a Windows 95 game
- / demo that requires DirectX, and install that. The retail version of "Pro
- Pinball - The Web" will contain DirectX, but has been left out of this archive
- to save space (nearly 3 Megabytes compressed).
-
- Extract the files "PLAY.EXE", "WGAME.EXE" and "MENU.EXE" into the same
- directory as the DOS version of the game. To run the game, make sure you
- have the game CD in your drive, then click on the "PLAY.EXE" icon from the
- Windows Explorer. If you want, you can create a shortcut icon to run the game
- by locating the DOS game folder using the Windows Explorer, click and hold the
- left button whilst the mouse is over the PLAY.EXE icon, and then drag it
- either onto your desktop, or to the "Start" button. If you already have a
- games folder, you could open this and drag it there instead.
-
- The keys have been changed from the DOS version, and the changes are
- noted below. You can redefine these keys by clicking on the
- "options..." button on the PLAY program, but you cannot define them to
- use the same keys as the DOS version as there appears to be no standard way
- of reading the shift keys seperately under Windows 95 that will work on
- all systems. The defaults were chosen to be in a similar layout on
- international keyboards.
-
- <F> Left Flipper
- <J> Right Flipper
- <G> Nudge from left
- <H> Nudge from right
- Other keys should be as per DOS version
