Installing NORMALITY from CD-ROM

The Install program is made up of a number of separate menus each
with selectable options. The current menu selection appears high
lighted. You can move position by using a mouse if you have one
installed. Clicking a mouse button will select an option, or you can
use the cursor keys on the keypad. Return selects an option.

and Music cards select Exit from the menu and select to save the
configuration from the menu. Your choices will be saved and used
every time you play the game.

Even though you execute the game from your hard drive the game is
played from CD-ROM and you must keep the CD-ROM in the drive at
all times whilst playing NORMALITY.

game. The game checks your system and optimises itself to your

machine’s capabilities.

Normality will run from a PC running Microsoft Windows® 95 and is pre-

set to run in two different modes. Install as normal by double clicking on

INSTALL. Ignore any memory warnings. Then:

1. To run the game concurrently with Windows® 95 simply click the
icon called NORMALW. As this runs the game with Windows® 95
running in the background it is a good idea to have as few
applications running as possible.

2. If you have any problems running under Windows® 95 you can click
on the icon called NORMALD. This will allow you to play the game in
full, exclusive MSDOS mode. In cases where Normality is running
slowly always use the NORMALD icon.

I’ve just spent seven days in the Blue Pen for
whistling an annoying tune and being happy. But it’s
seems there are people out there who feel like me, the

strange note written in ear wax that was pushed

under the door proved that. It seems that not

everyone in Normsville is into monster truck TV

programmes and elevator muzak.

All I’ve got to do now is figure out how to

meet such people, in a place like Neutropolis

that’s not as easy as it sounds.

k to as many people as you can, you may have to

talk to some people at least twice.

pop them in your SSaacckk, you never know when

e all the objects you can.

To find your way round your own room and Neutropolis you’ll need to

use the following Keys and Mouse controls. Using a combi-

nation of both is advised. For example: Use the mouse to

move the pointer around the screen to find useful

objects. Once they’ve been identified and are under the

mouse pointer press the PP key to pick

the item up and put it in

your inventory.
