- (1) 3Dfx Accelerator Cards
- --------------------------
-
- This game supports two different versions of Pandemonium: a non-3Dfx
- version and a 3Dfx version.
-
- If you have a 3Dfx card, you should ensure that the SETUP program has a check
- in the box marked "Use my 3Dfx accelerator card".
-
- If you first install the non-3Dfx version of Pandemonium, and subsequently
- install a 3Dfx card, you must re-install Pandemonium in order to run the
- 3Dfx version of the game.
-
-
- (2) Full Install versus Compact Install
- ---------------------------------------
-
- The SETUP program allows you to choose between 'Full' and 'Compact'
- installation. The full install takes up more disk space but loads game levels
- much more quickly when you're playing Pandemonium.

- Playing Pandemonium
- -------------------
-
-
- (1) Game Options
- ----------------
-
- Once you start the game, you can alter certain parameters by pressing the
- ESCAPE key, which activates the game menu. You can:
-
- - adjust sound and music volumes,
- - change keyboard controls,
- - change joystick button controls, or
- - alter performance parameters (non-3Dfx only).
-
-
- (2) Performance: Speed versus Graphic Quality
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Pandemonium performs best on a 3Dfx accelerated machine. On non-3Dfx
- or slower speed machines, Pandemonium does not run as quickly. In order to
- alter the speed of the game, you can:
-
- - choose between full texturing (looks better) and low texturing
- (runs faster), or
- - enable Gouraud shading (looks better) or disable it (runs faster).
-
- Also, the game normally runs slightly faster in 640x400 mode. To do this,
- specify 'Hide Desktop' when the game starts, and select 640x400 from the list
- of possible resolutions.
-
- Note: The 3Dfx version of Pandemonium always runs in 640x480 mode, with
- Gouraud shading enabled and full texturing turned on.

- The Charles Utility
- -------------------
-
- This utility allows you to alter some of the graphics used in Pandemonium.
- For example, if you have a BMP file of the right size, you can replace Nikki's
- face with one of your own!
-
- Future, improved versions of 'Charles' will be available on the Crystal Dynamics
- web page at:
-
- http://www.crystald.com
-
-
- Full instructions on how to use 'Charles', are included in the CHARLES directory
- on the installation CD-ROM in README.TXT.
-
- The Charles utility is named after its first victim. Sorry Charles!
