	Device Drivers for Gamepads and Joysticks
		Device Drivers are special code packages that are used to
		allow a hardware device to interface with the Windows
		95/98 operating system of your computer.  

		The device drivers for your gamepad or joystick usually
		ships with the hardware. Windows 95 also includes some
		default device drivers that might work with your game
		controller, and you can also go to most of the game
		controller manufacturers' websites to get updated and
		patched versions of their device drivers.

	your Gamepad or Joystick.

		7. If your Controller is listed, and the status is "OK"
		   then you are ready to test and calibrate. (See the
		   section on Calibrating and Testing A Gamepad or
		   Joystick).
		8. If your joystick of gamepad controller is NOT on the
		   list, you will have to add it.

V. Sound
==========================================
	Within the game, the sound balancing between soundFXs and the
	CD music have internal adjustments (Sound from the Options Menu).
 
	If the soundFXs are not loud enough when set to maximum within
	the game, it means the CD and WAV volume settings for your
	Windows	sound support system need to be adjusted. At the Windows
	Sound Device Volume Controls Dialog Window, tune the WAV volume
	up to increase the range for Animaniacs' SoundFXs, and turn the
	CD volume down to lower the Animaniacs' Music range.
 
	A good balance setting at the Windows control area will result
	in an excellent voice/soundfxs mix when playing the game.

	following information available when you contact us:
	- The brand name of  your computer
	- The type of CPU and its operating speed
	  (e.g. Pentium-166mhz)
	- The operating system and version
	  (e.g.. Windows 95)
	- The amount of RAM in your computer
	- The brand name and model of sound card in your computer
	- The brand name and model of video card in your computer
	- Speed of CD-ROM Drive
	- The amount of video memory (VRAM) in your computer


VIII. Multi-Player Internet
==========================================

	Connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
	You must sign up at the "the Zone" website to initiate 
	internet play.  Go to www.zone.com where you will 
	receive a login and password.

	If you already have a login for "the Zone" it will take you
	to the 'Animaniacs' room.  There you can either choose to 
	be a host or join a game that has not been started yet.  
	Through an interface screen, the players will 
	determine the number of participants.  (Color shields will
	represent each player on other player's screens during
	play) 

	Once all players are ready to play the host controls when 
	the game play begins by clicking on the "launch" button.   
	Play will begin when all players have clicked "play"

	Two to four players may compete in a game in which
	they race through a level fighting villains and
	navigating obstacles while collecting as many film cans
	as possible. You can choose from five special Internet
  	levels. Each player's score is based on how fast the
	player can complete the level and the number of film
	cans collected. Each film can subtracts from the player's
	time (three seconds per can). For example, if Player 1
	completes the level in 100 seconds and collects 30 film
	cans, then the adjusted time is 10 seconds. If Player 2
	completes the level in 125 seconds and collects 40 cans,
	then the adjusted time is 5 seconds.  In that scenario,
	Player 2 wins (even though it took him/her a little
	longer in real time to complete the level).
  
	Players will play the alternating siblings that are 
	dedicated to the specific level.

	Since all of the objects and villains are on the 
	player's own surface, players cannot take objects 
	away from competitor's field.  The player's characters 
	cannot interact with each other. This image of opponents
	will only display when the player is within screen 
	range view. This way players can view other player's 
	strategy and style of play and monitor their progress. 
	Competitors that fall behind or get far ahead will 
	not be within screen view.

	A final board will display the player ranking and 
	score and time.

	   appear. To host a game, click the host icon and wait for
	   other players to join. Use the chat feature to recruit
	   other players. When all players are logged on and ready to
	   go, click Launch to begin.

	Note:  If you are hosting a game and decide to quit, the
	first player who joined your game will become the host. 

	10. You can also join a game hosted by another player. Move
	    your mouse over a table and click Join to add your name
	    to the game, and wait for the host to launch it. Next to
	    each player's name is a latency indicator.  The latency
	    indicator shows how fast your current connection is to
	    each player. If you are joining a game, it is recommended
	    that you connect to a host with a green latency indicator.
