System Requirements:
PPC or 68K Macintosh
3.2 Mb Available Ram
7.2 Mb Hard Disk Space
256 Color Display
640 x 480 (recommended) or higher
Getting Started:
Since you’re reading this you have obviously correctly installed the game. To get into the game, simply double click on the Blaster II™ application. It’s that hard. If you have a high resolution monitor, I would recommend setting the resolution down to 640 x 480 so that it fills the screen. After you open the game, you will see the introduction (Omnisoft presents... etc...). If you wish to skip this intro, press ESC.
Preferences:
To get to the Preferences dialog box, simply click the “Prefs” button in the main menu, or type command and “G”. If you wish to change the preferences during game play you must first pause the game by pressing command and “P”. From inside the dialog box, you are given these options:
Keyboard: Set the control devise to the keyboard.
Mouse/Joystick: Set the control devise to the mouse or Joystick
Sound FX: Turn the sound on and off.
Music: Turn the music on and off.
More Sounds: Gives you the option to use the full set of sounds rather than the reduced set. (this
will cause the game to use slightly more ram)
Load Sounds Into Ram: Will load the sounds into ram so that the game runs faster. (this will cause
the game to use slightly more ram)
Show Keys: Sorry, but you can’t define your own keys in this version of Blaster II. For this reason,
I have made three different key sets, any of which will work. You probably would have set the
controls to one of these anyway.
Trouble Shooting:
Q. When I load the game, it says “Sorry pal, your will need to set your computer to 256 colors (8 Bit)!”. What do I do?
A. To set you computer to 256 color mode, go to the Monitors control panel and select 256. Then open Blaster II™ again.
Q. I press the movement keys, and nothing happens. What’s wrong?
A. Go to the preferences, and check to make sure the “Keyboard” button is selected.
Q. Some graphic doesn't show when it should. For example the info bar at the bottom of the screen is black except for the numbers.
A. Try quitting the game and increasing the memory allocation. To do this, select the game icon, and pick “Get Info” from the File menu. Set the preference size box to a larger number, close this window, relaunch the game.
Q. The music, or some of the sound effects don’t play as they should. Why not?
A. Try quitting the game and increasing the memory allocation. To do this, select the game icon, and pick “Get Info” from the File menu. Set the preference size box to a larger number, close this window, relaunch the game.
