+
+***********************************************************************
+
+Intel Pentium 200 MMX PC (or 100% compatible CPU)
+DirectX supported 3D Accelerator Card
+DirectX v.6 (Included on Installation CD)
+32Mb RAM (64Mb recommended)
+64Mb free Hard Drive
+Windows 95
+
+
+The ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo is a work in-progress. Thus it is not
+fully optimized and configured for lower spec machines. These issues
+will be corrected for the full retail version, giving the end user
+control over engine and special effect variables ensuring smooth
+gameplay over a wide variety of CPUs, accelerator cards and RAM.
+
+Due to the complexity of the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR models, users with
+32Mb of RAM may experience some memory paging, especially when exiting
+the game and returning to Windows. These problems will be fixed for the
+release version of the game.
+
+
+KNOWN ISSUE WITH SOUNDBLASTER LIVE! CARDS:
+
+Currently with SoundBlaster Live! cards, the EAX environmental
+extensions are applied to all the audio being played from the CD.
+While this does not necessarily interfere with the game; to stop
+it from happening, follow these steps:
+
+1. Access your Creative AudioHQ, usually found in
+
+ Start Menu --> Programs --> Creative--> Soundblaster Live! --> AudioHQ
+
+2. Access the 'Environmental Audio' control applet
+
+3. Click on the 'Options' tab within the Environmental Audio window.
+
+4. Check the 'Always Save Changes Automatically' preference box.
+
+5. Click the 'Source' tab.
+
+6. Select the CD Digital source and set the Reverb & Chorus amounts
+ to 0%. Leave the Original Sound source at 100%.
+
+7. Do the same with the CD Audio source. (Reverb & Chorus at 0%)
+
+8. Click on 'Close' and you will be prompted to input a name for your
+ new settings. We suggest 'No CD effects' or similar.
+
+9. You are now ready to play ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR with normal CD
+ music. This issue should be resolved for the full release of the game.
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ 2. DEMO OBJECTIVES
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+Playing as an Alien, you start in an Atmosphere Processor secured
+by Colonial Marines. You must escape to the planet's surface to alert
+the Hive. You must proceed with speed and stealth, and use guile to
+disable and destroy those forces which you cannot attack head-on.
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ 3. INSTALLATION
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR requires DirectX 6. This can be found within the
+game's installation directory and you will be prompted to install it if
+it is not on your system when you install the Demo.
+
+To install the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo, double click on Setup.exe
+Follow the onscreen instructions.
+
+ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR dynamically streams FMV from your machine's
+local hard-drive. This playback is greatly enhanced if the FMV files
+are installed on a defragmented directory. We STRONGLY recommend
+de-fragging your hard drive before installing ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR.
+
+To de-fragment your drive, either use the Windows95 accessory
+'Disk Defragmenter' or any other 3rd party defragmentation utility.
+
+Although the ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR Demo will work with other
+applications running in the background, for the best results it is
+recommended that you run the game as a stand-alone application
+(with no other applications running).
+
+As well as avoiding possible conflicts from other applications, this
+will also help prevent Windows from accessing the hard drive Virtual
+Memory swap file, and affecting the speed and sound effects of the
+game.
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ 4. GAME CONTROLS
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR supports all DirectX compatible controllers. You
+must install and set up these controllers before entering the game.

+menu screen or from the in-game menus.

+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ 5. ALIEN ABILITIES
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+HEALTH
+
+Health is displayed as the numerals in the top right of your screen.
+When you are damaged, your screen will flash yellow from the sides.
+Your health can be replenished by feeding on other lifeforms - see
+JAW ATTACK in the ALIEN WEAPONS section.
+
+ARMOR
+
+The strength of the Alien's exoskeleton is displayed as the numerals
+directly under HEALTH. As with HEALTH, damage to the exoskeleton can
+be repaired by feeding on other lifeforms.
+
+VISION MODES
+
+The Alien has the ability to 'see' the world through two modes:
+HUNTING and NAVIGATION. In HUNTING mode the Alien's senses are
+attuned to searching for prey, whereas in NAVIGATION mode the
+senses are concentrated on defining the surrounding environment.
+
+MOVEMENT & CLIMBING
+
+The Alien has the ability to move on any surface. Simply hold down
+the 'Crouch/Climb' key whilst moving. When climbing, releasing the
+key will release the Alien's grip and drop it to the floor. Using
+the 'Jump' key while climbing will cause the Alien to pounce in the
+direction it is looking.
+
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+ 6. ALIEN WEAPONS
+
+***********************************************************************
+
+CLAWS
+
+Tapping or holding the 'Claw Attack' button triggers a flurry of
+swipes and slashes. In the right circumstances the 'Claw Attack'
+button can also trigger the secondary jaws.
+
+JAW
+
+The secondary jaws can be used to feed on other lifeforms, thus
+replenishing HEALTH and ARMOR. Jaw attacks require a certain amount
+of skill to achieve. When a target's head is close enough and in the
+centre of the screen (the 'sweet-spot') the Alien's inner jaws will
+become visible to indicate that a jaw attack is possible. Pressing
+the 'Claw Attack' key will then launch the jaw attack.
+
+N.B. Jaw attacking corpses provides less of a health/armor bonus than
+live prey - assuming that the corpse still has a head. Try practicing
+on unarmed personnel!
+
+TAIL
+
+Tapping 'Tail Attack' causes a quick, low power, jab, whereas holding
+down the 'Tail Attack' button readies the tail for a more powerful
+strike. The tail will automatically target any prey in front of the
+Alien.
