-
- 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
