HOW TO GET HERE

There’s only one way to get to the RollerCoaster Tycoon™: Corkscrew Follies.
First, let’s make sure you have what you need to enjoy your visit. After that
are complete directions for reaching the park safely.

Necessary Equipment

Before you can install Corkscrew Follies and start playing, check this list to
make sure that your computer has everything you need:

Important Note

You absolutely must have RollerCoaster Tycoon already installed on your computer.
Corkscrew Follies is an add-on to that game, and cannot run independent of it. If

you have RollerCoaster Tycoon installed and running, then you need not worry
about most of the other requirements. You already have them all, or the game would-
n’t run. The exception is hard drive space; Corkscrew Follies takes up a little extra.

♦ The processor has to be a 90 MHz Pentium or better. For best

performance, we recommend at least a 200 MHz Pentium with MMX.

♦ Your operating system must be Windows

®

95/98 (or newer).

Corkscrew Follies

♦ You must have at least 16 MB (megabytes) of RAM. (If you’re running

Windows®95, it’s a safe bet you have 16 MB or more.) For best
performance, we recommend 32 MB or more.

♦ You must have a 4X speed (or faster) CD-ROM drive.

♦ Since the installation program will copy parts of RollerCoaster Tycoon:

Corkscrew Follies onto your hard disk, you must have some empty storage
space on your hard drive. How much you need depends on how much of
the game you choose to install; the different amounts are calculated for you
by the installation program, and it shows you what you need. The mini-
mum required is 45 MB.

♦ Your computer must be capable of SVGA quality graphics, and your video

card must have at least 1 MB of onboard memory.

♦ There must be a working mouse (or a device that fulfills the same function)

attached to the computer.

♦ You must have DirectX version 5.0 (or higher). If you installed the original

game and it runs, then you must have installed DirectX version 5.0.

♦ To hear the game sounds and music, you must have a working sound card

compatible with both Windows

®

95 and DirectX—and the requisite drivers

installed.

If you think you have all of these, but still have a problem running the game,
please contact MicroProse Customer Support for assistance.

Installation

If you have all of the required equipment, then it’s time to install the game. To
do so, follow these instructions:

Remember

You absolutely must have RollerCoaster Tycoon already installed on your computer
before you can install this game. Corkscrew Follies is an add-on to the original
game, and cannot run without it.

Corkscrew Follies comes in versions for different languages. You should make sure
that you install the same language as you did for the original game.

♦ Turn on your computer.

♦ Open the CD-ROM drive, place the RollerCoaster Tycoon: Corkscrew

Follies CD in it, and close the drive.

♦ Corkscrew Follies is a Windows

®

"AutoPlay" CD-ROM. That means that
just putting the disk in the drive for the first time starts up the installation
program.

If Autoplay Doesn’t Work

If, for whatever reason, the Autoplay feature does not work when you put the CD in
the drive, here’s how to start the installation program yourself:

♦ Double-click your "My Computer" desktop icon.

♦ In the window that opens, double-click your CD-ROM drive (it’s usually the

D drive).

♦ In the list that appears, find a file named setup.exe and double-click it.

The installation program should begin.

♦ Click Install to continue. (If you change your mind at this point, click Exit.)

♦ Note that you cannot change which folder the game will be installed into;

Corkscrew Follies is automatically installed to the same folder where you
installed the original game.

♦ The decision you need to make is what sort of installation you want to do.

Pick one of the options presented:

Minimum installs all of the files required to play the game, but leaves some
of the larger files on the CD. This type of installation strikes a balance
between the needs of game speed (more files copied) versus conserving
hard disk space (less files copied).

Full installs the entire game, including all of the larger files. If you

have the hard disk space to spare, doing a Full installation can make the
game run faster.

♦ Corkscrew Follies will now copy the files you selected to your hard drive

from the CD-ROM.

Once the installation is complete, the game is ready to go.

To start playing now:

♦ Leave the RollerCoaster Tycoon: Corkscrew Follies CD-ROM in the drive.

♦ Click the Play button.

To play later:

♦ Make sure that the RollerCoaster: Tycoon Corkscrew Follies CD-ROM is

in its drive.

♦ Click the Windows Start button, then open the Programs menu, the

Hasbro Interactive sub-menu, the RollerCoaster Tycoon sub-sub-menu,

and then click the RollerCoaster Tycoon option.

OR

♦ When you put the CD in, you can wait for the Autoplay screen to pop up,

then click the Play button.

Have fun!
