WHAT'S NEW ON THIS VERSION ?
This new version of Banana Quest has lost a lot of bugs from the previous
version (1.0) plus some nice features added, such as Pause during the game.
Also, the game now informs you of errors, instead of simply locking up
(like in the previous version).

1. INTRODUCTION
In this game, you, as the monkey, must collect all the sacred
bananas that the evil monkey Yeknom has stolen, in 7 stages of
pure fun and excitement. As you find enough bananas, you
progress in the game, going to the next level.
Are you ready ? So, lets play ! It's BANANA TIME!
2. HOW
2.1 TO INSTALL AND RUN
You have probably downloaded this game from some BBS or the gamez section
of the Andre Creations Home Page, and uncompressed it (Otherwise you would
not be reading this file, anyway). Now, your directory structure
should look as following:
GFX\
SOUNDS\
If it doesn't, you forget to uncompress the game with the -d option.
Try uncompressing it again with the -d option.
If it does look like that, you are supposed to have a file called
BANANA.EXE on the same directory of this file. To run the game, just
run it by typing BANANA in the DOS prompt (or the Windows 95 DOS Box).
2.1.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
If you are having problems with this game, check if your hardware
meets the minimum Hardware Requirements:
CPU:386 (486 recommended)
RAM:600k of FREE conventional memory, 2MB XMS
SOUND: Sound Blaster Pro or compatible sound card
VIDEO: VGA
If it does meet and you are still having problems, please contact
the author (see " Contacting The Author"), sending together with
your message a description of the problem and the FULL configuration
of your computer.
If it doesn't meet it, I am really sorry. By the way, its time for
you to upgrade your computer.
2.2 TO PLAY
Playing Banana Quest is really very simple: all you have to do is to
walk from one side to the other of the screen, catching as many bananas
you can. When a number of bananas has already fallen, you'll pass or not
to the next level, depending on how many bananas you got.
You may also pick up some green bonus balls that fall sometimes. They
may give you more speed or increase your score.
This game can be played using the Keyboard or a Joystick. If you
choose Joystick in the Configure menu, a quick Joystick calibration will
happen and you are ready to play.
2.2.1 KEY TABLE
The following keys can be pressed during the game to do the following
actions:
Key Action
Right Moves the monkey right
Left Moves the monkey left
F1 Turn sound off
F2 Turn sound on
J Turns Joystick mode on (note: you must have
calibrated your Joystick before)
K Turns Keyboard mode on
P Pauses the game. Press ENTER to resume playing
Of course, there are some nice cheat keys, but those you must
discover by yourself :).
