How to Play
Runner v1.0

How to Play:

You have run out of fuel and are stranded

on a strange planet and must negotiate your way

through a variety of levels to escape to the planet

surface.

The only way to transverse from level to

level is to trigger all of the red control lights [image] to

a green [image] [ON] condition.

Turning on a control light may gain you a

telepod [image].  As you progress in levels the telepods

become scarcer.

You must also collect the neutrino fuel

canister [image] to escape the level.

The enemy runner, [image] meanwhile will

attempt to thwart your efforts, by turning control lights

 back off and by trying to catch you.

You may use any telepods [image] you collect

to teleport the enemy runner away from you. But,

you may only use one telepod at a time.

Drop them in the path of the enemy runner and, when

he runs into it, he will teleport to another location.

Once you have successfully turned on all

of the control lights [image]  and collected the neutrino fuel

canister  [image]  ;

Run for the doorway [image] to escape to the next level.

You must use the supplied joystick driver

and select "Calibrate Joystick..." from the

joystick driver installed.  See your Windows

documentation for a description of how to

install an updated driver.*

*Note: The supplied joystick driver requires that you

select "Calibrate Joystick..." each time Windows is

restarted. It is only necessary to press the OK button

and not to go through the entire calibration routine,

however. This procedure reads in the stored calibration

settings and is required because of the inability to elicit  the

initialization routines that the control panel  applet performs

from Microsoft.


Music and Sound
Runner v1.0

Music and Sound:

Using Music and Sound capabilities in the

program requires that you possess a Windows

compatible sound board and have installed the

manufacturer's supplied drivers to support Windows

WAVE and MIDI.

If you can play WAVE and MIDI files outside of the game,

using the Windows Sound Recorder applet, the game will

play music and produce sounds correctly.

If you can hear the sounds, but the music will not play,

check to be sure you have installed all of the required

drivers using the Control Panel Drivers applet.

Below is an example of the drivers required when using

the Creative Labs Sound Blaster.

The third line shows the Driver for Joystick provided with this program

and is installed as an "Unlisted or Updated Driver" after pressing the Add..

button.
