Games PC ODDWORLD-ABE S EXODDUS User Manual

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. This will smooth screen transitions in the game, and is
recommended if you have the space (about 150MB more than the
“Typical” installation).
You will also have the option of installing Microsoft Direct X 6, which
is required to run the program. Only decline this option if you are
sure you have Direct X 6 installed on your computer already. If it’s
already installed, it won’t hurt anything to install it again. If you are
prompted during the Direct X installation about whether or not to
replace a file, you should choose the file with the latest date, unless
you know you need to use the older file. If you install Direct X, you
will be required to restart your computer at the end of the installation.
To start the game after installation, either double-click on the Abe’s
Exoddus icon in the Program Group created, or click on the Start
button, select Programs, then Abe’s Exoddus, then the Abe’s Exoddus
icon. There are also icons (Faster Abe’s Exoddus, Fastest Abe’s Exoddus)
for performance enhanced (but worse looking) versions of the game.
Select the Read Me icon for more specific info about these, as well as
for instructions on how to install the Oddworld Desktop Theme.
Before the game starts, you will be prompted to insert the “Play” CD
ROM. Once the game is installed, this will be the only CD ROM you
will need to play the game.

If you see some fancy movies followed by Abe's head saying
"hello," you've passed the test and loaded the game. From
this screen you have all sorts of options.
If you want to dive straight into the game, select "Begin."
"GameSpeak™" introduces you to Abe’s critical speech abilities.
It’s cool to watch his face when you make him talk. Check it out.
Several characters besides Abe can talk, too, and you can check
them out here as well.
"Load" lets you select a saved game.
"Options" lets you see how your keyboard or
controller is configured, and gives you some minor
control over the sound. The sound options let you
select between stereo and mono sound.
Just before the game starts, you can check out a
keen "Backstory" movie that will bring you up to
date on Abe's story so far.
HINT: If you scare away a bird portal, just leave screen…when you return, the birds will be back.

LOADING AND SAVING
Oddworld:
Abe's Exoddus is a
tough game. Even with
infinite lives, it’s going to take a
long time to play through the
game, particularly if you’re trying to
rescue all the Mudokons. Fortunately,
you can save your game.
Saving a game is easy. Press "Esc" while
playing to bring up the Options menu.
Select "Save," and press "Enter". A unique
name for the current screen will be
displayed, and you can either change the
name or leave it as it is.
If you’re in a hurry and you want
something less permanent, choose
“Quiksave™”from the Options
menu (or press F6 from a game
screen). Then, if you die,
Abe will re-start where
you saved.
Be careful,
though, because
Quiksaving in the wrong
place can leave Abe stranded!
If that happens, choose “Restart
Path” off the Options screen.
To restore a saved game, select "Load"
from the Options screen. Choose the saved
game you desire to load from the list of
names using the up and down arrows and
press “Enter”. To restore a Quiksave
TM
, choose
“Load QuiksaveTM” from the Load screen
(or press F7 from a game screen).
Finally, if you paint yourself into a corner,
use the "Restart Path" option on the
Options screen to restore the immediate
neighborhood to its original
condition. This can come in
handy if you've QuikSaved
™
yourself in the House
of Pain.
