System Requirements

    Although Tigershark will run on any Windows 95 Pentium-based
    system, the minimum recommended configuration is a 66MHz Pentium
    CPU, 16 megabytes of RAM, and a 4x speed CD-ROM drive.  A 16-bit
    DirectSound-compliant sound card and a joystick are optional.

    Required:
        Windows 95
        Intel Pentium 66Mhz 
        16 MB of RAM
        4x CD-ROM Drive
        1 MB Video Card
        DirectSound Compatible Sound Card

        (All hardware must be 100% DirectX compatible)

    Recommended:
        Intel MMX Processor
        3Dfx Voodoo Graphics Based 3D Accelerator Card
        16-bit DirectSound Compatible Sound Card
        4 axis 4 button Joystick


Installation

    Insert the Tigershark CD-ROM into the CD drive of your PC. The
    Tigershark splash screen will AutoRun and give you the option
    of installing Tigershark or exiting.  Click Install.  You will
    be given the option of installing DirectX 3.0a.  If you're not
    sure whether or not you have DirectX 3.0a or later, choose to
    install it.  If you do not install DirectX 3.0a at this time
    and experience problems later, remove Tigershark, re-install
    and install DirectX 3.0a from this prompt.

    Depending on the DirectX 3.0a installation, you may be instructed
    to reboot once the installation is complete.

    Before Launching Tigershark for the first time, you must use
    the configuration button to open the configuration menu.  Review
    the setting and click "Ok" when ready to proceed.


Launching Tigershark

    Note, you MUST have the Tigershark CD-ROM in the CD drive to
    play the game. 

    Tigershark is started by clicking the Launch button from the
    Splash screen, which is AutoRun when the CD is inserted, or
    when the CD-ROM drive icon is double clicked (see the "My Computer"
    folder on your desktop).


General Tips

   *Tigershark is a Windows 95 application.  Be sure that your audio
    card, joystick, and any other hardware are correctly installed
    and configured for use under Windows 95.

   *Tigershark's performance is greatly affected by your DirectX
    drivers.  In extreme cases, incomplete or buggy DirectX drivers
    will cause Tigershark to crash.  We recommend obtaining the latest
    drivers for your audio and video hardware from either Microsoft
    or the hardware manufacturers.  The TigerShark package includes
    DirectX 3.0a, the latest available at the time of publication.

   *Tigershark uses the AutoRun feature of Windows 95 to automatically
    start the title screen when the CD-ROM is inserted.  If you have
    disabled this feature, run TITLE.EXE from the root directory of
    the CD-ROM.

Quick Start

    From the Tigershark main menu, select "Start New Mission" and
    press [Enter].  This brings up the difficulty menu.  Use the
    [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] keys to select a difficulty (see below),
    and hit [Enter] to start Mission 1.

        Training        The Training Ground is a special sealed test
                        area used for developing mastery of the
                        Tigershark systems against a variety of targets. 

        Milk Run        The Tigershark has increased armor and weapon
                        loads, there is no systems damage, and nearby
                        explosions do no collateral damage. While this
                        is the easiest play setting, it only allows
                        access to the first six levels of the game.

        Rock 'N Roll    The Tigershark has standard armor and weapon
                        loads. Propulsion, Weapons, and Sensor internal
                        systems are vulnerable to critical damage, but
                        will regenerate over time, and nearby explosions
                        do collateral damage to the ship.

        Good Luck!      The Tigershark has standard armor and weapon
                        loads.  Propulsion, Weapons, and Sensor
                        internal systems are vulnerable to critical
                        damage, and do not regenerate unless repaired
                        by a power-up. Nearby explosions do collateral
                        damage to the ship.

    After viewing the mission briefing, you will be launched into
    the first mission area. Press [A]+[Z] to come to a stop to give
    yourself time to get your bearings.

    Note the Message Display is directing you to your first objective:
    "Destroy Russian Sonar 1."

    Locate the Sonar display (concentric circles).  Note the small
    arrow on the outer edge of the display. This will always point to
    the currently selected objective, in this case, a subsurface sonar
    installation.

    Press [Tab] to switch to a first person view. To return to the
    third person view, press [Tab] twice more.

    Accelerate by pressing [A].  Dive below the surface by pressing
    [Up Arrow] to nose the ship down into the water. Steer your way
    toward the sonar installation.  If you are attacked by enemy
    fighters, you can use the [Left Ctrl] to fire your PPR at them.
    To use your torpedoes, press the [X]  when the enemy is visible
    in your viewscreen to lock on.  Once an enemy is locked, a status
    box appears around it. This box will be green for an undamaged
    enemy and will go yellow then red as damage accumulates. As soon
    as you see the box surround the enemy, press the [Spacebar] to
    launch a homing torpedo. You may switch torpedo types by pressing
    the [C] key.

    Once you have destroyed the sonar station, watch the message
    display for further orders.  You will be instructed to destroy
    two geothermal taps and to reset a third.  You may be given
    additional mission objectives during play, so pay attention to
    incoming messages.

    When you have achieved all of the mission objectives, you must
    return to the Subcarrier Olympus for pickup.


Troubleshooting

    Problem
        Audio pops and skips during cinematics and/or game play.

    Solution
        Your sound card may not be supported by DirectSound.  Try
        to obtain a DirectSound driver from the sound card
        manufacturer or mute the digital audio from the TigerShark
        configuration menu.


    Problem
        TigerShark does not run on Windows NT 4.0.

    Solution
        TigerShark uses DirectInput 3.0, which at time of publication,
        was not available on Windows NT 4.0.  When DirectInput 3.0
        becomes available for Windows NT 4.0, TigerShark will work.


    Problem
        The game's cinematics appear choppy or jerky.

    Solution
        (1) Make sure you have the latest audio and video drivers
            for your system
        (2) In the configuration menu under Video, select the "Large
            Read-Ahead" option
        (3) Under Audio, reduce audio quality


    Problem
        The game's frame rate is too slow.

    Solution
        (1) Make sure you have the latest audio and video drivers
            for your system
        (2) In the configuration menu under Audio, reduce audio quality
        (3) While playing, press the '-' key on the numeric pad to
            dynamically shrink the window size.  The '+' key enlarges
            the window.
