                              README FILE      

  This is a beta Demo of TekWar the Game.  As with any beta, there are 
  bound to be a few problems as the game is still not finished. Before you 
  get started there are a few things you need to know. Although the 
  graphics in TEKWAR are stunning, unless you have a high end machine, 
  we recommend playing in 320 x 200 mode.
  Type "RUN" to play the game and see the Shatner intro and ending.
  Type "TEKD1" to play the game without the sequences.
  Type "TEKD1 nogore" or "RUN nogore" if you do not want blood and guts. 
  Use the setup.exe utility to adjust game settings, set up audio/video,
  read this file, adjust controls, etc..
  ESC will cut short the Shatner sequences.
  ESC brings up the main menu when in the game.
  The F1 key brings up the help menu when in the game.  
  Refer to the setup.exe utility for all the key meanings/assignments.
  When you select  Joystick On in the setup utility, the demo begins in 
  joystick calibration mode. 
  F11 key toggles joystick centering on/off. With joystick centering on, move
  the joystick to its limits on the four axes. That is, move it all the
  way up, all the way down, all the way left, all the way right. Then press
  F11 to toggle off joystick centering.
  All the game controls are currently being reworked and are not in their 
  final form. The game may be a little choppy in places due to map design 
  issues as well as our not having optimized the code yet for speed, but we 
  hope to have all that ironed out for the finished game.  Please bear with 
  us and give us feedback on what you like and do not like so we can give 
  you what you want in the final game.
  To save download time, we have not included the full 3D rendered intro, 
  or the full motion video briefings and debriefings by William Shatner that
  will be in the final version.  
  For the game, we will have a bunch of new weapons and 
  gadgets to play with, a lot more of Greater Los Angeles to explore and 
  six more TekLords to deal with.  
  We have added a new functionality to the mouse.  
  In addition to the usual forward, back, 
  turning, and holding the right mouse button (RMB) down to walk 
  straight ahead, by holding the RMB down and moving the mouse in the 
  opposite direction, you switch which direction you go when you hold 
  the button down.  i.e. you start with it set to walk forward when the 
  RMB is pushed, if you then pull the mouse back while holding down the 
  RMB, you now go in reverse when the RMB is held down.  Now you 
  can get out of trouble as easily as you got into it and retreat while still 
  being able to fire.  The default sensitivity of how far the mouse needs to 
  be moved  to change the default direction is set to 100.  After playing 
  for a while if you  would like to customize it to accommodate your 
  personal style, press  [F10] and move the mouse forward or back to 
  increase or decrease the setting,  The lower the number the less you 
  have to move the mouse , the  larger, the further to switch.  When you 
  have set the sensitivity set to your desired level, hit [F10] again to save 
  and exit the adjustment mode. 
  Wea are developing a more creative "AI" for the characters in TekWar.
  First of all, the Tekgoons do 
  not just walk stupidly toward you shooting and ignoring your shots.  
  They may guard a location, chase   you or maybe even stalk you.  In 
  combat, do not be surprised if they dodge and duck and take advantage 
  of cover.  If you notice a door is open and you knew it was closed, 
  watch out, you may be being stalked!  On the hard setting, it only takes 
  a few hits to put you out, so save often.  You start out with two 
  weapons and can find another.  The first is the Kralov CEG 15 Stunner 
  and the second is the C & W Model 2040.  The third weapon you can 
  find is the Shrike DBK.  It is a very powerful energy weapon, but until 
  you find the ACCUTRAK for it, you may find it a little  inaccurate.      
  Remeber that you lose points for killing civillians.
