Zeek the Geek Part One Installation instructions ------------------------------------------------ For best performance, Zeek the Geek Part One should be installed on your hard disk before it is run. The following instructions tell you the system requirements for executing the game, how to install the game on your hard disk, and how to add it to the "Games" group in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 Program Manager. System Requirements ------------------- Zeek the Geek Part One requires a PC running Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or later), a VGA (640 x 480 resolution with 16 colors) or better display, and a mouse. If you have a sound card with drivers for Windows, you will enjoy music and sound effects with the game. Without the sound card, the only sounds you will get are little beeps out of the PC's speaker, but you can still play the game. Installation ------------ To install the game on your hard disk, use the Microsoft Windows File Manager to create a new directory on your hard disk (such as \GAMES\ZEEK1). Then copy all of the files included with the program to the new directory that you just created. Once all files are on your hard disk, you can start the game by double clicking on "ZEEK1.EXE" in the Windows File Manager. If you don't know how to create a directory or copy files, check the File Manager documentation that came with your copy of Microsoft Windows. To add the game to the "Games" group in the Microsoft Windows Program Manager, simply click the mouse on the "ZEEK1.EXE" file in the Microsoft Windows File Manager and, while holding the mouse button down, drag the file to the "Games" group in the Windows Program Manager. Drop the file (release the mouse button) on the "Games" group, and the Zeek icon should appear. You may need to rearrange the icons in the group after adding a new one. If you have trouble adding the Zeek icon to the group, see your Windows Program Manager documentation on adding a new Program Item to a Program Group. Once you have the game installed and running, click on the "?" button to get to the "All About Zeek" dialog box. Read "The Story" and "Game Controls" to learn how to play the game.
