- 2.3 Game Play
-
- Use the keys described previously in GAME CONTROLS to maneuver your hero
- through the level, slaying the creatures that get in your way. As you
- explore the cemetary, you will find many different things to push, pull,
- or open. Striking or kicking while near them will cause your character
- to push, pull or open them, often revealing a power-up. Press the strike
- key (Ctrl) when standing directly in front of a power-up to pick it up.
-
- 2.4 Fighting
-
- When a character attacks there can be three results: hit, block, or
- miss.
-
- A hit will happen when you perform an attack at the appropriate range
- and direction from a creature and that creature is not blocking. The
- character attack animation is shown followed by an orange flash. In
- addition the creature will react appropriately; flying back, bleeding,
- or even losing a body part.
-
- A block will happen when a character attacks in range but the foe is
- blocking when the attack is performed. The character attack
- animation is played followed by a blue flash and the defender will not
- take damage.
-
- A miss will happen when a character is not facing a foe or is too far
- away. In these situations the character attack animation will be
- shown but nothing will happen; the monster will not react and there
- will be no flash.
-
- Each attack does a certain amount of damage to enemy creatures. The
- amount of damage is determined by the particular attack performed, the
- type of weapon being used, and possibly any damage-enhancing power-ups
- that are in effect.
-
- Nadia and Ignatius have many special combo moves that can do extreme
- damage, sever limbs, or even strike through a block. Experiment with
- different button sequences and combinations to discover new moves.

- 5.0 HARDWARE ACCELERATION
-
- Nightmare Creatures supports 3D hardware acceleration. The demo will
- automatically detect any supported 3D acceration hardware and will
- configure itself appropriately. Detection and configuration will
- proceed as follows:
-
- 1- The demo looks for a videologic PVR card and will run in PVR native
- mode if found.
-
- 2- if no PVR card is found, the program looks for Direct3D hardware and
- will run in D3D mode if found.
-
- 3- if no D3D hardware is found, the program will run in unaccelerated
- mode.
-
- You can force the mode using a parameter
- Create a shortcut from nc.exe and add the parameters:
-
- -PC : no hardware acceleration.
