DEMO OBJECTIVES - -*********************************************************************** - -As the Marine, you are the last surviving member of your squad. Your -mission was to explore and investigate the Atmosphere Processor, then -destroy it. You were to remain as guard inside the APC... until your -squad were brutally massacred by forces unknown.

INSTALLATION - -*********************************************************************** - -ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR requires DirectX 6.

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.

MARINE EQUIPMENT - -*********************************************************************** - -HEALTH - -Health is displayed as green numerals in the top right of your screen. -When you are damaged, your screen will flash red from the sides. Your -health can be replenished from healthpacks your comrades have dropped -in various levels of the Atmosphere Processor. - - -ARMOR - -Armor protects you from both acid blood and other forms of damage. It -is displayed beneath the health numerals as a percentage. You may don -extra armor if you find it. - - -IMAGE INTENSIFIER - -All Colonial Marines are equipped with image intensification optics. -Once activated your vision is augmented for low light conditions, thus -allowing you to see even in pitch darkness. You may use the Intensifier -at will, although it does temporarily burn-out if you are near a strong -light source (such as your weapon firing). - - -FLARES - -You come equipped with small phosphorus flares that you may throw to -light your way. These will stick to any surface and provide a strong -yet temporary light, as well as a deal of smoke. Flares and your -Image Intensifier naturally do not mix well. - - -*********************************************************************** - - 6. MARINE WEAPONS - -*********************************************************************** - -PULSERIFLE (slot 1) - -A Colonial Marine's standard weapon, combining a powerful assault rifle -with an under and over grenade launcher. It carries 99 rounds in the -magazine - watch for reloads! The number of grenades it can carry are -limited - look for your companion's old pulserifles for reloads. -The PulseRifle is less accurate if you are moving whilst firing. - - -SMARTGUN (slot 2) - -A mobile Colonial Marine's most powerful weapon, the SmartGun is a -masterpiece of technology. Mounted on a gyroscopic harness, it literally -aims itself, targeting the centre of mass. It is linked to the marine's -Head Up Display - once it has acquired a target the recticle turns red -and begins to track. To fully use a SmartGun, the operator must watch -where the gun wishes to move and lead it manually - this drastically -decreases aiming time. Smartguns are less useful against smaller, more -agile targets. The smartgun is belt-fed from a large magazine mounted -on the harness, so rarely runs out of ammunition. Care should be taken -as the armour piercing bullets from the SmartGun will deal with most -targets in an explosive manner - short bursts will be sufficient to -deal with almost any foe. - - -FLAMETHROWER (Slot 3) - -The Flamethrower is specifically designed as a close-combat weapon for -the clearing of areas. It is somewhat inaccurate, but the jet of napalm -will eventually kill anything it ignites. Keep the jet trained on a -target to inflict more direct damage. -The flamethrower runs out of fuel in a very short space of time - short -controlled bursts are the most economical method of firing. - -WARNING! The napalm fired from the flamethrower is dangerous - do NOT -run forwards whilst firing (walking is OK) else you will set yourself -on fire. Additionally, it is possible that the napalm will 'bounce' off -a surface and back onto the user. However, nothing is more effective -than the flamethrower when exterminating vermin. - - -*********************************************************************** - - 7.
