- QUEST FOR GLORY 5 DEMO
- README FILE
-
- You are standing on the deserted shore. The night stars twinkle above you.
-
- Suddenly, a sailor appears, rowing furiously toward you. Arrows pepper his small
- boat, but he appears unharmed. He leaps from his boat, speaking urgently!
-
-
- He shouts, "What can I do in this demo?"
- You explain, "This demo contains two rooms from the full game. You are dropped off
- on the island of Sifnos. Your mission is to beat the hostile guards, the centaur
- wizard, and the general. You can choose to be a fighter or a wizard. The thief and
- paladin character classes are available only in the full game. There is no option in
- this demo to save, restore, or import your Hero from a previous Quest for Glory game."
-
-
- He thinks about this for a moment, then states, "Where can I find more information
- on how to play the game?"
- You opine, "Once you are on the island, press the ESC key to bring up the game's
- control menu. Click on the MANUAL button and start reading."
-
-
- He quizzes, "Please tell me a few things I should know right away! The guards are
- chasing me!"
- You state, "Press the I key on your keyboard to access your Inventory screen. You
- can drag various items like the healing pills to your tool belt (the black area
- at the bottom of the screen). Press the E key on your keyboard to equip your Hero
- with armor. If you are a wizard, you can press the S key to see various spells you
- can drag to your tool belt. Press ESC to return to the game. Now go get those guards!"
-
-
- He insists, "I'm using Windows. My mouse doesn't work properly! It's difficult to
- click on things. Help me!"
- You reply, "Try turning off the video card's acceleration. In Windows, click on Start,
- Settings, Control Panel, System, Performance, then Graphics. Turn off the Hardware
- Acceleration."
-
-
- He asks, "OK, I defeated EVERYONE in the demo. Now I'm just standing around. What do
- I do now?"
- You answer, "Press the ESC key on your keyboard. Click on the QUIT button. You can
- choose to play the demo again using another character class by clicking RESTART, or you
- can choose to QUIT the game."
-
-
- He thinks about this for a moment, then states, "How do I put away an object
- I'm dragging around the screen?"
- You opine, "Let's say you're dragging the coin around the screen. Click the hand cursor
- on the coin in your "tool belt", that area at the bottom of the screen. Now you'll get
- only the hand cursor. Windows users can also right-click until you just get the hand pointer.
- Mac users can hold down the COMMAND key (the one with the Apple on it) and click the mouse
- button to cycle through the game pointers."
-
-
- A sudden clap of thunder startles both of you. Storm clouds slowly roll in.
- The sailor continues...
-
-
- He questions, "The game runs choppy. What can I do to make it run faster?"
- You answer, "You can do a few things to improve the game's performance. Here's a list:
-
- - Press the ESC key, then click on the CONTROLS button. Set the Detail level to Minimum.
- This will turn off some of the processor intensive special effects, like rippling water.
-
- - Press the Backslash key (\) to run the game in a bordered window, instead of full screen.
- This will help speed up the game.
-
- - Make sure your computer is not running background tasks while you are playing the game.
- If you are running a program in the background, such as a virus checker, this will take
- processing time and memory away from the game, and may slow down the game.
-
- - If you have a Mac with only 32 meg of RAM, make sure you have virtual memory turned on.
- To see if virtual memory is on, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the
- screen, select Control panels, then select Memory. Make sure Virtual Memory is on.
-
-
- Suddenly, the first light of dawn races across the sky. You are reminded of the time,
- and bid the Hero to return to the Quest.
-
- The Hero smiles, leaps back into the boat, and quickly rows out of sight.
-
- You silently wish the Hero good luck.
-
-
-
-
- THE END
-
-
- And now for something completely different...
-

-
- I. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE QFG5 DEMO
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Pentium 166, Win 95, 32 meg RAM, Sound card, 70 meg of available hard drive
- space (not including space reserved by Windows' swap file). You'll also need
- to have Microsoft's DirectX installed. If you have Internet access, you can
- find the latest version of DirectX at www.microsoft.com/directx
-
- Power Mac or iMac, 120 Mhz, System 7.5 or better, 32 meg RAM, 70 meg of
- available hard drive space (not including space reserved by the Mac's virtual
- memory)
-
-
-
- II. GENERAL TECHNICAL ISSUES
- ----------------------------
-
- If the game seems to be running slowly, try any of the following to
- get better game performance:
-
- 1) Check and make sure your computer meets the minimum
- performance standards listed on the game box.
-
- 2) Make sure that you have no other programs running while you
- are playing Dragon Fire. The more memory available, the faster
- the game will run. Some background programs (that run once you
- start up your system, such as a virus checker) take up computer
- time and might cause the game to run choppy.
