INTRODUCTION

Dear Player,
Thank you for choosing Jack Orlando Director’s Cut. This game

has been more than two years in the making, an adventure which
we're really proud of - high-resolution graphics with 65,000
colors, smooth scrolling, flowing animation, many active
characters, lavish dialog and above all, a gripping and extensive
plot.

Experienced art cartoonists designed every scene, using the air­brush technique to scan, touch-up, and blend in the hand-drawn
foreground animation. Every individual animated image was done
by hand, then colored by computer.

To give our film the music it deserved, we got one of the best;
Harold Faltermayer, whose soundtracks for Beverly Hills Cop and
Top Gun, to name just a few, brought him fame the world over.
So get ready for detailed graphics, a high quality soundtrack and
dramatic action combined to give you a unique game experience.

Have a great time!

Your Jack Orlando Team

THE STORY

1933 will go down in the history books as the year America
passed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution - Prohibition is
over. To the delight of millions, alcohol can now flow freely across
this thirsty land. Two days before the official proclamation
announcing this historic change, clubs and bars across the land
are stocking up on quality whiskey. Even Jack Orlando, private
investigator and well-known bootlegger enemy is drawn to the
golden liquid. Jack, however, is not sharing in the excitement
accompanying the new law, for his life has become a monotonous
journey, marked these days mostly by cheap whiskey and late
nights in dive bars and run-down neighborhoods. Until one night…
Jack Orlando - a cinematic adventure is the story of a scruffy but
shrewd private investigator, called Jack Orlando who becomes
involuntarily involved in a mysterious case of murder. He has
only 48 hours time to slip the noose and to find the real offender.
And as if this was not enough, he quite unexpectedly finds himself
caught up in a web of intrigue...

Who is the guilty party? How can he get rid of the suspicion
pointing at him?

Shady figures, crafty gangsters, explosive situations and tricky
riddles characterize the game from the beginning to the end.

YOU are JACK ORLANDO and YOU determine the protagonist's

destiny ...

INSTALLATION

Jack Orlando Director's Cut is based on DirectX 8.0 technology ­that means the game will only run if you have installed DirectX 8.0
or higher.

To install DirectX 8.0 put the Jack Orlando Director's Cut CD -ROM
in your drive. If you have activated the Autorun function of your
CD drive, a menu will appear. Select "INSTALL DIRECTX 8.0" to
install the DirectX driver.
If your Autorun function is disabled open your Windows-Explorer,
select your CD-ROM drive and double click on the file
AUTORUN.EXE. A menu will open. Click now on the button
“INSTALL DIRECT X”

Note: After installing DirectX it is necessary to restart the system,
otherwise the game will not run.

You can now install the game. Put the Jack Orlando Director's Cut
CD-ROM in your drive. Select the option "INSTALL GAME" from the
Autorun menu.

If the AUTORUN function of your CD drive is deactivated open the
Windows Explorer, select your CD-ROM drive and double click on
AUTORUN.EXE.

During the installation, you may choose from the following
options:

Minimum Installation
Full installation

Minimum installation requires at least 200 MB free hard disk
space, the full installation 700 MB. To achieve maximum
performance full installation is recommended.

After the game is installed, you can start it from the Autorun menu
which looks like this:

You can also start the game over the Program Manager. First,
ensure that the correct CD-ROM is in your drive and then click on
START ð PROGRAMS ð JACK ORLANDO ð JACK ORLANDO.

In this menu you can choose if you want to play in a window or in
the full screen mode. Just activate the checkbox "RUN IN
WINDOW" and the game will start in window mode, otherwise the
game starts in full screen mode.

You also have the possibility to choose the normal or the easy
mode. The normal mode is set as default. If you want to play the
simpler version just mark the box " EASY VERSION".

UNINSTALL

To uninstall the game, click on START ð Programs ð Jack
Orlando ð Uninstall game.

Now follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTE: Only the game components will be uninstalled. The saved

games will not be removed. If you want to delete them, open the
Windows Explorer and select the Jack Orlando directory
(C:\Program Files\ Jack Orlando). Now you can delete the Jack
Orlando directory.

GETTING STARTED

When you start the game following screen will appear allowing you
to decide between:

INTRODUCTION: shows you a video telling you the story of Jack
Orlando – a renowned Private Detective in a town somewhere in
America of the Thirties.

NEW GAME: starts your adventure and every time a new game.
LOAD GAME: calls up games you've saved in the past. If you're

playing Jack Orlando for the first time, or if you haven't any saved
games, then of course this has no function as yet.
QUIT GAME: exits the game and returns to windows desktop.

THE SCENE OF CRIME

The game starts in an alley, where Jack has been knocked
unconscious - THE SCENE OF THE CRIME. Next to Jack lies a dead
man, Major Pete Reynolds. A passing citizen sees the two men and
informs the police.

Depending on the mode you selected at the beginning of the
game (easy or normal) the arriving cops will take Jack to the
police station or will let him go to prove his innocence.

INVENTORY

During the game Jack can collect different things: some are
necessary some are useless. Jack puts them in his coat. You, the
player, can open Jack's inventory at anytime. Press the F1 key
and Jack's trench coat will appear on the screen. If you picked up
something you can also press the right mouse button to open the
inventory.

You have here the possibility to combine items. Just take an
object and put it over an another. If this combination is possible
you will see a popup how Jack is combining the two things with
each other.
