                Ice & Fire installation troubleshooting tips

Q1: Why doesn't the Ice & Fire CD icon appear on the Desktop after
inserting the CD into the CD-ROM drive?

Q2: While copying the 'Ice & Fire' folder onto the hard drive, a message
appears stating a reading error.

A:  It could either be because of your CD-ROM drive or your Ice & Fire CD
may be damaged. Try cleaning your CD drive and be sure that your Ice & Fire
CD is clean and has no scratches or any sign of damage.

Q3:  What do I do if I don't have enough space on my hard drive?

A:  You may run the 'I & F' application off the CD, but you will not be
able to save any settings and the game loading will be very slow. You may
also turn on Virtual Memory or turn off any unnecessary extensions. See Q2
under Frequent Questions.

Place the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Open 'Ice&Fire CD'
volume. Drag 'Ice&Fire' folder onto your hard drive.

To run Ice & Fire, double click on the IF icon in the copied 
'Ice&Fire' folder.

                                     Frequent Questions

Q1: How do I bypass the fly-through and get to the mazes?

A: The fly-through is very challenging and some first time usersmay wish to
bypass it.  Because of this you can push the 'esc' key at any time to get
to the next maze.  You can only do this, however, for mazes 1-5, not mazes
5-8 (those you have to find on your own!).  Also, to understand the
fly-through, study the way the lines meet  each other.  Sharp turns and
obtuse angles usually don't connect, whereas smooth curves usually do.

Q2:  Why is the maze part of the game slow on my computer?

A1: Make sure you have turned on Virtual memory if you have less than 8 MB
of free RAM. Go to the Apple Menu and scroll down to Control Panels.  Under
Control Panels go to Memory.  Under Virtual Memory click 'on' and make sure
you have at least 16 MB of Virtual Memory.  Then restart your computer.
Once you are done playing Ice & Fire, be sure to turn off Virtual Memory
and restart your machine.

A2: Try turning off unnecessary extensions.  Extensions you MUST have to
run Ice & Fire are:  Apple CD-ROM/ QuickTime/ QuickTime PowerPlug/ Memory/
Mouse/Sound Displays/QuickTime Musical Instruments.

A3: Check your keyboard rate. MacOS controls the speed of your keyboard.
Go to the Keyboard Control Panel and set:
      - 'Key Repeat Rate' to Fast
      - 'Delay Until Repeat' to Short

A4: Try to change the action window size by using the 'Z' key. We have
three resolutions in the game: Small, Medium and Full Screen. Using the
smallest window should improve the game speed.

A5: If the game is still too slow, try turning off the music. This will
speed up the game.

Q3:  Why is the Fly-through part of the game slow with occasional
interruptions and delays?

A:  Check the above answers.  Also, if you have a slow CD-ROM drive, it may
be time to consider an upgrade. Another reason may be that your drive isn't
reading the CD properly. If this happens the drive will stop and try to
reread the information again and again. This will cause delays and stops.
Try cleaning the CD and your CD-ROM drive.

Q4:  Why is my Joystick (or MouseStick) not operating correctly with Ice & Fire?

A:  Your Joystick (or MouseStick) must be calibrated before playing the
game. Use the software that comes with your Joystick to calibrate it first.
After that, you should have no problems playing Ice & Fire with your
joystick.

Q5:  Why do I sometimes see error messages during the game?

A:  It could either be because of your CD-ROM drive or your Ice & Fire CD
may be damaged. If your CD doesn't read the game CD properly, you may get
an error stating that it could not find a file. Try cleaning your CD drive,
and be sure that your Ice & Fire CD is  clean and has no scratches or any
sign of damage.

                       Game Play

An attack by an alien race forces the commander of Asteroid
IF-1 to freeze everything on the asteroid- humans aliens, secrets! 
Now you have been selected as the frozen survivors only hope...

In Ice & Fire you are able to decide the course of action - fast 
paced shoot them up or a more methodical game of exploration 
and elimination.  The game consists of two parts.  In the first 
part, the fly-through, you can explore the mystical terrain of the 
asteroid.

                       CONTROLS in the maze

A - ice blaster shot
S - fire blaster shot
Ctrl-A - ice missile/burst
Ctrl-S - fire missile/burst
Ctrl-<Arrow-Up> - jump
Ctrl-<Arrow-Left>- shift to the left
Ctrl-<Arrow-Right>- shift to the right

the pocket

The mouse controls work only in the maze.  To move forward, 
place the mouse above the center crosshairs and press the left 
button.  This will move you forward.  Likewise, placing the 
mouse below the cross hairs moves you in reverse.  The farther 
away from the center crosshairs, the faster you move.  To move 
left or right, move the mouse to the left or right side of the 
screen (while pressing mouse button).

                                          Final Notes

Ice & Fire currently runs for PowerMac under MacOS 7.0
and higher and QuickTime 2.0. You can run it for Mac Quadra, but it
isn't recommended for appropriate game experience.

Virtual i-O users will note that currently, Ice&Fire does not support the
Virtual i-O headsets.  At release time, the Virtual i-O system did not run
with MacOS.  This is currently being developed, and will be released at a
later time.  Please call Virtual i-O customer support at 1-800-646-3759 for
more information on upgrades, or visit the Zombie website at
http://www.zombie.com or the Virtual i-O website at info@vio.com.

Also it runs under Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
Also Ice & Fire will be released for Sony Playstation
in Spring of 1996.

Enjoy Playing, Have fun.
