Putt Putt Demo
Thank you for taking the time to read this file before running our demo.
This demo has been taken from actual scenes in the game, so it should give
you a good idea about what the game will "feel" like.
This demo runs on PC-compatible machines running DOS 3.1 or higher, with
VGA video systems.
SOUND
The game supports a wide variety of sound cards and add-on devices for speech
and music. The quality of the speech and music can vary significantly
depending on the device you have and your computer. When selecting a sound
configuration, please keep the following things in mind:
A loss of speech quality may result when using the internal PC speaker,
AdLib, Disney Sound Source, or the Covox Speech Thing when running "Putt
Putt Joins the Parade" on a machine with a clock rate of less than 25 mHz.
If this happens, select a sound configuration that does not include music.
CHANGING SOUND CARDS
To change sound cards when playing the CD version, you must run SETUP.EXE
from the CD-ROM. It will prompt you to select a sound card and then write
a PUTTDEMO.INI file to your C drive in a driectory called C:\PUTTDEMO\.
WINDOWS
We don't recommend running "Putt Putt Joins the Parade" under Windows unless
you are using either a Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, Covox Sound Master
II (or other supported cards that use DMA). Any other sound cards or add-on
devices may experience significant sound quality loss if run within Windows.
When running from Windows, make sure you start up the game using our supplied
PIF file. Failure to use the PIF file may result in a loss of music and/or
sound effects.
Windows may not allow "Putt Putt Joins the Parade" access to the selected
sound card if a windows driver for that sound card has been installed.
If this happens, either deinstall the sound card driver or run "Putt Putt"
from outside Windows.
CONTROLS
Like the game, the demo supports keyboard (always active) and joysticks,
but is designed around the mouse The following commands may be useful:
Ctrl-C Quit the game
Ctrl-J Switch to Joystick mode
Ctrl-M Switch to Mouse mode (default)
Enter Same as clicking left mouse button or joystick button 0
arrow keys move cursor
Click where you want Putt-Putt to go, or click on an object to see if it
does anything.
Those of us here at Humongous Entertainment hope you enjoy this demo of our
newest "edutainment" product.
