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.  Yoda's
						Challenge Activity Center engages the player in the challenge
						of six exciting, content-rich missions.  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 Yoda's Challenge on your
						Macintosh system are as follows:

						COMPUTER: Apple Macintosh and 100% compatibles.

						OPERATING SYSTEM: Macintosh OS version 7.6 or higher.

						CPU: Minimum 160 MHz PowerPC 603e, 120 MHz PowerPC 604, or
						any G3 or higher processor required.

						CD-ROM Drive: 4X CD-ROM drive minimum required.

						MEMORY: 32MB RAM minimum required.

						INPUT DEVICES: Mouse and keyboard required.

						DISPLAY: 640x480 display with thousands of colors required.

						HARD DISK SPACE: Demo installation requires 105MB of free
						hard disk space.

			C) Memory

					Yoda's Challenge requires at least 12 MB free memory
					available to run. You may need to turn off some system
					extensions in order to meet this requirement.  Use of Apple's
     Virtual Memory with Yoda's Challenge is not recommended.

					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 Yoda's Challenge.
					If the amount of memory available is below what is needed to
					run Yoda's Challenge, 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 Yoda's Challenge 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 Yoda's Challenge 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: Sound Manager, AppleVision,
        PrintMonitor, Desktop Printing, your printer driver, and your
        CD-ROM driver (either the Apple CD-ROM extension or your
        particular third-party driver).  Choose NEW SET again from the
        FILE menu in the Finder, and name this set Yoda's Challenge.

								Before running Yoda's Challenge, select the Yoda's Challenge
								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 Yoda's
									Challenge.

									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 Yoda's Challenge.  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 Yoda's Challenge, 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 11,292K
									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: Use of Virtual Memory with Yoda's Challenge is not
            recommended.

			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.												

2) TROUBLESHOOTING

			A) Compatibility Issues

						Third-party RAM Extender Utilities
						Under no circumstances should you attempt to run Yoda's Challenge
						in conjunction with a third-party RAM extender.  If you are short
						of memory, see section 1-C ("Memory") of this ReadMe file for more
    		information.
							
			B) Solutions to Common Problems

						When I run the installer, the program tells me I need to
			 		have System 7.6 installed to run the game.
						Star Wars Yoda's Challenge was designed to run on Mac OS version
						7.6 or higher.  In order to run the game, you need to upgrade your
						system software to Mac OS version 7.6 or higher.  Contact the
						manufacturer of your computer for information about upgrading
						your system software.
