        Congratulations on your purchase of Blue Sky Entertainment,
Inc's Welcome To The Future (WTTF).  In this file you will find tips
on installing, playing, and optimizing your adventure of discovery,
art, and music...
        To installation, double click the INSTALL.EXE.
The installer will evaluate your system's attributes and choose the
most appropriate installation for your particular system.  For those
of you who want to push performance to the maximum, here are a few
suggestions that you might wish to consider...

TWO THINGS YOU WILL HAVE TO DO!

        1.  Open the CONTROL PANELS, goto MULTIMEDIA PROPERTIES, then to
the ADVANCED page.  Look under MEDIA CONTROL DEVICES, open WAVE AUDIO DEVICE,
click SETTINGS and set the slider to 9.

        2.  Double click on the speaker on the task bar to bring up a mixer
controller for volume of the different types of sounds your system will play.
If the music or sound effects are sonically unbalanced adjust the levels of the
playback here.  Specifically the MIDI or FM Synth. volume is too low.

THINGS TO CHECK
        1)  RAM - To run smoothly, the WTTF application needs 4000k
of RAM in "thousands of colors" (16bit), or "256 colors" (8bit).
To reduce your system's RAM requirements, you should look in your
control panels and remove all unnecessary drivers.
        2)  Color Depth - The WTTF application can be played at
3 different color depth levels, depending on your system and monitor
capabilities.  WTTF looks best at True Color (24bit), however most
systems do not have the processing power to handle this.  The Thousands
of Colors (16bit) monitor settings is recommended for most systems.
If you have a slower system and performance is slow, set the monitor to
256 (8bit) color.  The problem with setting the monitor to 256 colors,
is that the app does not look as crisp.  To check your system's monitor
capabilities, open the Monitor control panel.
        3)  CDROM Speed - You need at least a double speed CDROM drive
to play WTTF.  The faster the drive, the faster the game play will be.
WTTF is optimized to run on speeds up to 600k/sec (quad-speed drives).
Single speed CDROM drives are definitely too slow and will not work.
        4)  Disk Fragmentation - Under normal use the files on your
internal hard disk will become more and more fragmented, reducing your
system's overall performance.  Because WTTF requires fast communication
between your internal hard disk and the WTTF application, such
fragmentation can hinder it's performance.  Before your install WTTF
we highly suggest that you defragment and optimize your internal hard
disk so that all of the data copied there will remain unfragmented and
thus, easily accessed.  In order to optimize your internal hard drive you
need a utility such as Norton Speed Diskи or use defrag under DOS.
        5)  Internal Hard Drive - The WTTF installer requires 30 + megs
of space on your internal hard drive.  The installer will create a folder
called BLUESKY, which contains the WTTF application and numerous data
files which the application will use during game play.
        6)  QuickTime 2.0 - WTTF requires the QuickTime 2.0 system
extension to run properly.  This has been provided on the WTTF CDROM.
The installer will install QuickTime for you and take care of any older
versions.
        7)  Sound Output - WTTF is the first CDROM to use 16-bit
Surround Sound Audio.  In order to utilize the Surround Sound feature
you need to route the stereo sound outputs of your computer through a
home theater surround decoder and through a set of surround speakers.
If you don't have a home theater decoder, you can still obtain superior
sound quality by routing your computers speaker output through your home
stereo or other amplified speakers.  In more limited situations we suggest
the use of headphones over the built in speaker.  WTTF's audio soundtrack
is pretty kickin' so keep the volume down if the boss is around.
        8)  System Requirements - WTTF is optimized for use on a 486
or Pentium with at least 8 megs of RAM, Windows 3.1 or later, an internal
hard drive with 30 + megs free, a double speed CDROM drive, and a color
monitor.  We suggest having 12 megs or RAM or more when using Windows for
workgroups or Windows 95.  Attempting to run WTTF on a less powerful
computer could bring unpredictable results.
        9)  Save & Restore - To save your game at any time, press the
"S" key.  To restore a previously saved game; select the "Restore" option
in the main WTTF start screen, locate the saved game you desire, and
explore...
        10)  Challenge and Explore Modes - In the WTTF "Help" section you
will find a mode screen which enables you to select between two levels of
difficulty.  The "Challenge" mode is the normal mode of game play and
requires that the player collect "keys" in order to access different
areas of the WTTF environment.  The "Explore" mode allows access to every
area by giving the player all of the keys at the beginning.  We suggest
that you try the "Challenge" mode first, and refer to the "Explore" mode
as a guide if you reach a point where you can progress no further.  The
"Explore" mode also allows easy access to areas that you may wish to
re-visit without having to play through the whole game.
        11)  Quit - Press "Alt-F4 or Alt-Q " to quit at any time.
Quitting the game gives you the option to save first.
        12)  Gameplay - It begins on a mountaintop...  look around you
and find the keys.  They appear as signs which lie strewn about the
mountain. Your direction is guided by hovering a infinity sign. It will
point the way (if there is a way...).  Go underground through secret
passages.  Open the side of mountains to find hidden chambers.  Discover
the doors and  unlock their symbols.  Gather all of the golden symbols,
find the pharaoh's cave, and you will be prepared to take the final
voyage...
        13)  Saved Games - On the WTTF CD you will find a folder of
saved games.  These are provided for those of you who find yourself
utterly lost. There is a lot to see in WTTF, and these saved versions
will enable you to see areas you might not discover (try exploring
first, you'll find that the journey is part of the experience).  We at
Blue Sky want you to see everything, so if you reach total frustration,
check out some saved versions and relax.  See the "Help" section for
tips on navigating the environments.

Troubleshooting
        1)  There is no audio playing - Check the audio connections from
your computer to external speakers
- Check your sound control panel and
be sure the volume is turned up
- If you are using a sound card, be sure
that you have installed it correctly and make sure that you have the
correct software drivers installed.
        2)  Colors look strange or screen is black for long periods of
time
- Check your monitors control panel and be sure that the color
depth is set properly.
        3)  Application doesn't launch
- Make sure the WTTF CD is in the
CD ROM Drive - Make sure Quicktime 2.0 is installed in your system's
hard drive
- Make sure you are using a 486 or Pentium
- Make sure that you
are using a double-speed CDROM drive or faster.
        4)  Video or Audio Playback is sluggish or skips - Make sure that
your system has enough RAM
- Try reducing the bit depth of the audio
using your sound control panel
- You can find more hints in the help
section of the WTTF application.
