[. . . ] INSTALLATION To install the game, insert the "Install" CD ROM, wait for the Setup program to begin, and follow the instructions on the screen to install the game. If you have autorun notification disabled (ie. nothing happens), simply double-click on the My Computer icon, the CD ROM drive, and finally "AUTO. EXE". During the installation, you will have the option (by choosing "Full" installation type), of installing all the game level data on your hard disk. [. . . ] Whole colonies infest Oddworld's underworld. SLOGS They bark, eat live flesh, are definitely not good with children, but they're a Slig's best friend. SLOGGIES Cuter than their grown-up cousins, but just as vicious. FLYING SLIGS Half-mad Slig flyboys. CRAWLING SLIGS Everybody has to start someplace. 25 CRITICAL HINT: To turn into a door or a well while you run, press 26 when you're next to where you want to turn! ABE'S MOVES WALK SNEAK Alt + RUN Shift + or HOIST THROW CHANT 0 Z or or JUMP Space RUN/JUMP Shift + or + Space SLAP 5 SYMPATHY 7 FART X CROUCH 27 ROLL + or ENTER MINE CAR 28 Abe is an amazingly versatile little blue guy. Nothing bad will happen to you on the first couple screens of the game, so take a couple minutes to play with the controls and learn all the things Abe can do. MINE CAR: To enter the mine car, stand in front of it and press . To exit the mine car, or to make it drop from a track (and smash whatever is below it . . . that's a hint, buddy), press (Ctrl). FARTS: Abe can fart at any time by pressing X. You can use farts to annoy Mudokons (making them take a single step away from you . . . You can also possess farts and do nasty things after drinking from a SoulStormTM brew machine. SLIGS, FLYING SLIGS, PARAMITES, GLUKKONS, SCRABS: You can possess 'em all. . . and they all have their own control schemes!Figuring out how to use them is half the fun, so we won't spill it here. Just remember that they can all talk (and that the last hint we're giving away for free!) While there's plenty of game play on the first level, many of the screens are tutorial areas spotlighting important game mechanics. Read the scrolling LED messages in the background for instructions on how to perform moves. 29 30 CRITICAL HINT: To jump while you run, press "Space" while you run! GAME SPEAK Abe does more than run, jump, roll, and flip around like a fish. Even if you can't talk, you'll have to learn how to make Abe talk if you want to play the game. The "GameSpeakTM" option available from the start-up screen is an excellent place to learn about Abe's amazing speech abilities. Here's a diagram of Abe's GameSpeakTM, in case you need it in the middle of a game. GameSpeakTM Hints: You can talk to just about anything, but Sligs and other Mudokons will be most receptive. TM Learning what to say to who is part of the game's challenge, so we won't spoil it for you, but here are a couple pointers: * Say "Hello" to initiate conversation with a Mudokon. * Say "All ya!" to alert all Mudokons at once. * Learning to use "Follow Me" and "Wait" is pivotal to solving many puzzles. * Some of the words (especially the rude sounds) are just plain fun to make. Use GameSpeakTM to personalize the way you play the game. * Experiment! 31 IMPORTANT: You can pick up rocks, bones, grenades, and meat by squatting next to them 32 EMOTIONS The Mudokons aren't just targets, you know (although they are fun to shoot). They're real creatures with emotions of their own. In your travels, you'll run into plenty of moody Mudokons. SICK MUDOKONS are drunk from SoulStorm Brew.
