1) GENERAL INFORMATION

			A) A Message from George Lucas, Creative Director of Lucas Learning
						Ltd.

						Many years ago as a filmmaker, I developed an interest in interactive
						technologies.  As I began to work with them, I realized that they had
						great potential for opening up new kinds of learning experiences for
						young people.  They offered an alternative to some of the traditional
						approaches to education that did not work for me as a youth.  As a result,
						for over 15 years I've been committed to finding ways to capture kids'
						natural interest in learning and engage them more actively and
						productively in the learning process.  Lucas Learning reflects my own
						passion for learning as it creates products like this one.  The Gungan
						Frontier explores rich content in an immersive and entertaining
						environment as it engages the player in constructing and managing an
						ecosystem. I hope you enjoy the experience and that it will contribute to
						your own lifetime of learning.

						George Lucas

			B) Minimum System Requirements

						The minimum requirements for running The Gungan Frontier on your
						Macintosh system are as follows:

						COMPUTER: Apple Macintosh and 100% compatibles.

						OPERATING SYSTEM: Macintosh OS version 7.6 or higher required.

						CPU: Minimum 200 Mhz PowerPC 603e or 132 Mhz PowerPC 604 or any G3 or
						higher processor required.

						CD-ROM DRIVE: Quad-speed (4X) or higher required to run the full
						version of The Gungan Frontier.

						MEMORY: Minimum 32 MB RAM required.

						INPUT DEVICES: Mouse and keyboard required.

						DISPLAY: 640x480, thousands of colors display required.

						HARD DISK SPACE: Minimum 30 MB free hard disk space required to install
      The Gungan Frontier.

						QUICKTIME 3.0.2: QuickTime 3.0.2 is required to run the full version of
      The Gungan Frontier.

			C) Memory

						The Gungan Frontier is a memory-intensive game, and requires at least
						15.5 MB free memory available to run (14.5 MB free memory when Virtual
						Memory is enabled.)  You may need to turn off some system extensions
						and/or turn on Virtual Memory in order to meet this requirement.  You
						should make every effort, however, to free up as much "real" memory as
						possible before turning on Virtual Memory.

						To find out how much memory is currently available on your system, click
						on the Apple menu and select ABOUT THIS COMPUTER.  Look at the value next
						to LARGEST UNUSED BLOCK.  This value indicates how much memory is
      available to run The Gungan Frontier.  If the amount of memory available
      is below what is needed to run The Gungan Frontier, please try one of
      the following:

								Quit out of all other applications before running the game.
								Each application that is running on your computer takes up some memory
        that The Gungan Frontier could be using.  If the available memory on
        your system is low, quit out of these applications then restart your
								computer.
											
								Disable unnecessary extensions and control panels.
								Turning off any extensions and control panels that are not essential to
								playing The Gungan Frontier may free up some of the memory you need.

								Before disabling any extensions or control panels, you should first
								save your current configuration.  To do this*, click on the Apple menu,
								select CONTROL PANELS, then EXTENSIONS MANAGER.  Next, click on the
								FILE menu in the Finder, and select NEW SET.  A dialogue box will appear
								on your screen, asking you for a set name.  Type Standard in this
								dialogue box and click OK to save the set.  Next, turn off everything**
								in Extensions Manager except the following: your CD-ROM driver (either
								the Apple CD-ROM extension or your particular third-party driver),
								QuickTime version 3.0.2, and QuickTime Power Plug for version 3.0.2.
								Choose NEW SET again from the FILE menu in the Finder, and name this
								set The Gungan Frontier.

								Before running The Gungan Frontier, select The Gungan Frontier set
								from the SELECTED SET pop-up menu at the top of the Extensions Manager
								screen, then restart your computer.  To restore your default extensions
								and control panel configuration, choose Standard from the SELECTED SET
								pop-up menu and restart your computer.

									* NOTE: The procedure for managing system extensions and control
											panels may vary depending on the version of Mac OS currently
											installed on your computer.  Consult Mac OS Help for directions
											specific to your system software.

								** NOTE: Some third-party hardware components require their own drivers
											to function properly.  If this hardware is essential to running your
											computer (e.g. your monitor or hard drive), DO NOT disable the
											extensions and/or control panels that control this hardware.
											Consult the user manual for the hardware in question to find out
											which extensions and/or control panels are essential.

									Turn off any RAM disks.
									If you have created a RAM disk on your computer, turn it off and
									restart your computer before running The Gungan Frontier.

									To turn off a RAM disk, click on the Apple menu, select CONTROL
									PANELS, then MEMORY.  In the RAM DISK section of the Memory control
									panel, click the OFF button, then restart your computer.

									Reduce the disk cache size.
									Reducing the size of the disk cache on your computer to its minimum
									setting may increase the amount of memory available to run The
									Gungan Frontier.  However, this may result in slower disk access.

									To reduce the disk cache to its minimum setting, click on the Apple
									menu, select CONTROL PANELS, then MEMORY.  Click the down arrow next
									to the Cache Size indicator in the Disk Cache section of the Memory
									control panel until the number displayed reaches its lowest possible
									setting, then restart your computer.

									Turn off Appletalk.
									Disabling your Appletalk networking software may free up some memory,
									depending on the network configuration currently in use.

									To turn off Appletalk, click on the Apple menu, select CHOOSER, change
									the setting for Appletalk to Inactive, then restart your computer.

												NOTE: Remember to turn Appletalk back on before attempting to
												access the networking functions of your computer.

									Turn on Virtual Memory.
									If, after attempting to free up as much memory as possible, you find
									that your computer still does not have the free memory required to
									run The Gungan Frontier, you may need to turn on Virtual Memory*.

									To turn on Virtual Memory, click the Apple menu, select CONTROL
									PANELS, then MEMORY.  Click the ON button in the Virtual Memory
									section of the Memory control panel.  Next, click the arrow keys next
									to the name of the selected hard drive to adjust the amount of memory
									you wish Virtual Memory to provide.  This amount should be set high
									enough so that when you restart your computer, there is at least 17.5
									MB available under Largest Unused Block in the About This Computer
									window.  Once you have made the necessary adjustments to Virtual
									Memory, restart your computer.

										* NOTE: If you are running Mac OS 8.5 or higher and have only 32 MB
												of RAM installed on your computer, you will need to turn Virtual
												Memory on to run The Gungan Frontier.  This system software
												utilizes the majority of the 32 MB of installed RAM for its own
												operations, leaving less memory free than is required to run The
												Gungan Frontier.

			D) Game Crash Issues

					If the game unexpectedly freezes up, returns you to your desktop, or if
						you experience any other severe problems, you should try to properly
						restart your computer. This will help to prevent possible problems
						related to the error that you have experienced.

						If you end up at a black screen or the screen appears frozen, please
						press ESC, SPACEBAR, or RETURN before trying anything else.  If your
						screen remains black for an extended period of time, restart your
						computer.												

   E) Improving Performance

      The Gungan Frontier features complex simulations of a swamp ecosystem and
						the creation of an underwater Gungan city.  As such, it will push your
						computer's processor and CD-ROM drive to their limits.  However, there
						are some things you can do to improve the game's performance:

									Quit out of all other applications before running the game.
									Running other applications in the background may cause The Gungan
									Frontier to pause during gameplay, due to the other applications
									requiring access to your computer's resources.  We recommend quitting
									out of all other applications prior to running The Gungan Frontier.

									Turn off Performance Options in the Options screen.
									For optimal performance, turn all Performance Options off. Turning off
									any of the Performance Options, however, will change the way the game
									looks on your screen.

									To access The Gungan Frontier Options screen, click OPTIONS on The
									Gungan Frontier Main Menu screen, or select OPTIONS from the Settings
									menu on the in-game Menu Bar.

									Lower the Terrain Quality in the Options screen.
									For optimal performance, set the Terrain Quality to Low.  Lowering the
									Terrain Quality setting, however, will lower the level of detail with
									which the ground and ground cover plants are drawn on your screen.
