If you also have Corkscrew Follies installed, Loopy Landscapes will still install.

♦ 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).

♦ 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:

Loopy Landscapes 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 minimum 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.

HOW TO GET HERE

There’s only one way to get to the RollerCoaster Tycoon™: Loopy Landscapes

™

. 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 Loopy Landscapes 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. Loopy Landscapes 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 wouldn’t run. The exception is hard drive space; Loopy Landscapes takes up a little extra.

Follies installed, not to worry, Loopy Landscapes will still install. Loopy Landscapes 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: Loopy

Landscapes CD in it, and close the drive.

♦ Loopy Landscapes is a Windows

“Autoplay” CD-ROM. That means that just putting the disc 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.

♦ 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 origi-

nal 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. Loopy Landscapes is an add-on to the original game, and cannot run without it. If you have Corkscrew

To start playing now:

♦ Leave the RollerCoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes CD-ROM

in the drive.

♦ Click the Play button.

To play later:

♦ Make sure that the RollerCoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes 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.

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

then click the Play button. Have fun!

♦ 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;

Loopy Landscapes 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.

♦ Loopy Landscapes 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.
