::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: :: :: Lucas Arts Entertainment Co. :: :: :: :: presents :: :: :: :: OUTLAWS tm :: :: :: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: README V 6.0 What is Outlaws? Outlaws combines first-person gun slinging action, with stunning cinematic cutscenes, to create an exciting Wild West adventure. You are former marshal James Anderson, on a mission to retrieve your daughter, who has been kidnapped by an evil land baron. Drawn into a conflict that you never wanted, you will be forced to use your wits (as well as your trigger-finger) to save your family. However, it won't be easy. Out to stop you, are the single largest group of evil-doers, misanthropes, criminals, and flat out bad guys to ever gather in the old west. The full version will feature: * Single or multiplayer gameplay over modem, Internet, LAN (Local Area Network) or serial connection. * Highly stylized characters with distinct personalities and weapons. * Original CD-Digital soundtrack and custom-designed sound effects. * 3D Sound emulated & with hardware support to provide realistic sound environments. * Scaleable difficulty for novice to advanced. * Scaleable gameplay for low to high end machines. * Realistic 3D environments incorporating sloped surfaces and rooms-over-rooms. * Simulated "real-world" physics models on both land and in the water. * Translucent smoke and glass effects. * Gameplay involving puzzle solving to tease the mind, and exciting 1st person action-adventure. For the very latest updates and information on OUTLAWS, we highly recommend that you consult the Troubleshooting Guide included with this demo, and check out the LucasArts website at www.lucasArts.com. Also, please note that this demo features one level of the single- player version of OUTLAWS. The full version will support multiplayer gaming.

Once you have done this, move the OUTDEMO.EXE file into this directory. 2. Extract the demo by double-clicking on the OUTDEMO.EXE icon. The demo is self-extracting. 3. You can then launch the demo by double-clicking on the OLDEMO.EXE icon. II) SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 95 required. CPU: Pentium 60 or faster required. MEMORY: 16MB RAM required.

From there, you will have the option to save a game (SAVEGAME), load a previously saved game (LOAD), select CONFIGURATION to adjust volume and brightness, or to exit the game. Additionally, there are various keys that will be used throughout the game. The following is a list of the default functions for the keyboard keys as they are used during the game: MOVEMENT [Up Arrow] Move Forward [Left Arrow] Turn Left [Right Arrow] Turn Right [Down Arrow] Move Down [Left Shift or Right Shift] Move Fast (Hold down when pressing one of the arrow keys to run). [Spacebar] Nudge (used when opening doors etc.) [X] Jump [C] Crouch [Caps Lock] Move Slow [Comma or ALT + Left Arrow] Strafe Left [Period or ALT + Right Arrow] Strafe Right WEAPONS As you progress through the game, you will encounter a variety of different weapons (Although for the demo, only certain weapons are available). To select a weapon, press one of the number keys on your keyboard. The following is a list of the weapons you will encounter, along with their corresponding number key: [1] Fist [2] Pistol [3] Rifle and Toggles Scope [4] Single Barrel Shotgun In the full version of the game, you will gain access to a variety of additional weapons, including: a knife, sawed-off and double-barrel shotguns, and the ultimate in old west defense, the gatling gun. How to use a weapon: [CTRL] Fire Primary [Z] Secondary Weapon Action key. [R] Reload Other Key Functions [Left/Right Brackets] Scroll Through Inventory [ENTER] Select/Use Item [Tab] Active Map [L] Lamp [0 (Zero)] Disarm [= or -] Change Screen Size [G] Drop Item [Page Up or F + Up Arrow] Look Up [Page Down or F + Down Arrow] Look Down [End] Look Back [F] Free Look Many of the keys listed above can be reconfigured by using the custom configuration menu. To change the default functions for the keys, press the [ESC] key during the game, select OPTIONS, and select KEYBOARD. This area will also provide you with additional information on key functions. IV) MOUSE CONTROL If you would like to play Outlaws with both the mouse and the keyboard, we have provided a second set of default keyboard keys that work optimally with a mouse-keyboard combination. To see what the keys are, refer to the Mouse Configuration screen in the game by selecting OPTIONS from the MAIN MENU and then clicking on KEYBOARD (the secondary keys are listed in the right hand column). V) CONFIGURATION MENU: You can access the Options menu by selecting OPTIONS from the main menu, or you can press the "ESC" key at any time during the game, and select CONFIGURATION. The Options screen will give you the ability to make the following adjustments: SCREEN SIZE - Sliding the bar will adjust your screen size. Decreasing the size of the screen may help to enhance the performance of the game. VOLUME - Adjust the volume for the music and sound effects. JOYSTICK - Configure and calibrate your joystick. MOUSE - Configure the mouse. KEYBOARD - Configure the keyboard. OTHER OPTIONS - Toggle a variety of game options including Headwave and Gore. VI) GAMEPLAY ISSUES a) Difficulty Settings Here is a little more information about the three level settings that are available: GOOD: The "Good" setting is designed with the first-time player in mind. The gameplay, power-ups and enemy placement, and damage multiplier are set to teach a new player how to maneuver, sight enemies and use power-up resources, without gratuitously punishing them for making blunders such as stepping into a room packed with enemies. The Good setting is intended to make the game enjoyable, but not particularly challenging. BAD: More often than not, the "Bad" setting will feature more enemies in any given area, then those that would be encountered on the "Good" setting. Occasionally, these enemies will have heightened health, or different power-ups. Bad is intended to be more challenging, but still not extremely difficult. UGLY: "Ugly" is designed to be especially challenging. When the game is set to Ugly, you will only be able to endure one or two shots before you are killed. However, you will also be given increased accuracy when targeting enemies. The enemies, though quite deadly to you, will most often drop in one shot. Health and power-up items are difficult to find, but occasionally rewarding (i.e. more Elixirs than you would generally expect.) In general, Ugly is for the experienced player who enjoys the strategic elements of creeping around and staying hidden (someone who enjoys using their head, as well as their pistol!) VII) CHANGING VIDEO MODES If you are experiencing slow or choppy performance, you may want to try adjusting the video mode for the game. This can be done by using the OLCFG.EXE utility before you start the demo. To run OLCFG: 1. Open the directory where you extracted the OUTLAWS demo (this can be done by using the Explorer or by accessing your system with the MY COMPUTER icon). 2. Once the directory is open, double-click on the OLCFG.EXE icon. This will launch the configuration program. 3. Make your selection from the listed resolution options. If you experienced any difficulties, we recommend trying either the 320 X 240 or 320 X 200 options. 4. Once you have made your choice, click OK to save your selection. The next time you launch the demo, the new resolution should be active. ⌐1997 LucasArts Entertainment Company. All Rights Reserved. Outlaws is a trademark of LucasArts Entertainment Company.
