This is the Shareware version of Super Roco Bros Part 2. The game starts where 
Super Roco Bros Part 1 ends, with Roco Roco stranded on a Caribbean island, 
wondering if he will ever find is brother? Little does Roco know of the 
adventure ahead of him! The island is infested with a whole host of badguys,
all intent on stopping Roco finding his brother. There are 4 challenging 
worlds for Roco to do battle on. These are as follows...

Cara Land : This is the island that Roco was stranded on after Super Roco Bros 
            Part 1. Its a nice place for a holiday and many Martial Arts 
            Cacktara's and bouncing Gorbash's would agree. Roco must reach the 
            end of each level while avoiding the Cacktara's on holiday, the 
            bouncing Gorbashes as well as new badguys the Coconuto's, these 
            roll back and forth along the floor!

Indi Land : Indi Land is mysterious and mystical land but its also home to 
            some of the meanest enemies Roco will encounter these include 
            Gorbash's, poisonous snakes known as Cobraro's, and a crazed tribe 
            of Basket Men.

Moon Land : If ever Peano's castle came under attack Peano could escape to his 
            Moon base! Unfortunately the moon base is also home to an army of 
            Gorbash's on wheels, Robots, Stungunners and regular Gorbash's.

Peno Land : Roco's brother Pepe Roco lies somewhere deep within Peano's Castle 
            fortress. The castle has a range of pitfalls, these include molten 
            lava, fire balls, flying spikes and fast Spikeadilo's.  

Once you reach the end of level flag its time to face another level. Sorry but 
the Shareware version of Super Roco Bros Part 2 only features four level's. 
The Full version contains over 17 jampacked levels! Including the final 
showdown with PEANO!

Super Roco Bros Part 2 has been tested through and through for Bugs during all 
stages of its development but there are a few issues that need addressing.

Super Roco Bros Part 2 known bugs..

1) Pausing the game during jumping/walking and then unpausing the game results 
   in Roco repeating the last action before the pause was pressed.

2) If you hit a corner of a object at a perfect diagonal then Roco will fall 
   through it and loose a life.

To solve the above problems press ALT and X to Exit Super Roco Bros Part 2 and 
run "START.BAT" again.


Problems running the game...

Because of the way Super Roco Bros Part 2 was made, Super Roco Bros Part 2 
relies mostly on memory under DOS. Super Roco Bros Part 2 requires over 550k 
of conventional memory to run and above 600k of conventional memory to run at 
a reasonable speed! The bad news is if you are running Super Roco Bros Part 2 
under Windows 95/98 then your Pc may not be setup for maximum memory. To solve 
this problem we recommend you Shutdown your Pc and Restart the computer in 
MS-DOS mode. This should give you the maximum amount of conventional memory.

Problems running on Windows 2000 / Windows Me platforms...

Super Roco Bros Part 2 has NOT been tested on a Pc running Windows 2000 or 
Windows ME. Therefor it is highly unlikely that Super Roco Bros Part 2 will 
run at a satisfactory level or worst comes to worst Super Roco Bros Part 2 
may NOT RUN AT ALL!

Sound related problems...

IF your problem is sound related then run SETUP.EXE and make sure that the 
sound setting are the same as your sound card.

= (7) Using the Sound Setup                                                  =
==============================================================================

Music and Sound FX will Only play if your Sound card is 100% Sound Blaster or 
Gravis Ultra Sound compatible. If your sound card is not compatible then the  
only option is to play with NO SOUND. The Sound Setup Program has been made   
to automatically detect your sound cards settings. But if it doesn't then try 
one of the following...


[MS-DOS]


Problem : I do not know my settings but I do know my cards a Sound Blaster.
Answer  : The general settings for a Sound Blaster would be,

        Select Card: Sound Blaster 
        Port       : 0x200
        IRQ        : 5
        DMA1       : 1
        DMA2       : 5

        Run the setup program by typing "setup.exe" and select the options
        so that they match up with the options above. Once this is done click
        on the TEST button if no sound plays try changing the name of your 
        card. If a sound did play then Save and Exit.

Problem : Sound plays distorted 
Answer  : If sound plays distorted there are two possible reasons
          1) Your sound card is not setup correctly
          2) Your Pc has less that 600k of conventional memory free.
 

[Windows 95/98]


Most Sound Cards installed under Windows 95/98 are 100% Sound Blaster 
compatible but if your sound card is installed on your motherboard as oppose 
to a PCI slot then chances are you wont know your settings. To find out your 
sound cards settings try one of the following,

Method 1) You can try the same method as MS-DOS. This would mean selecting the
          most common settings for a Sound Blaster.
 
          Select Card: Sound Blaster 
          Port       : 0x200
          IRQ        : 5
          DMA1       : 1
          DMA2       : 5

          Run the setup program by typing "setup.exe" and select the options
          so that they match up with the options above. Once this is done 
          click on the TEST button if no sound plays try changing the name of 
          your card. If a sound did play then Save and Exit.

Method 2) This method requires a pen, pad and some technical know how.

Step  1) On the Windows Desktop Close all programs that are currently running. 
Step  2) Click on the Start button.
Step  3) Goto and click on the Settings/Control Panel tab.
Step  4) Once the Control Panel Window is open Click on the System Icon.
Step  5) On the System Properties Box click on the Device Manager tab.
Step  6) Go down the list and double click on the Sound video and game 
         controllers
Step  7) Now highlight your Sound Card.
Step  8) Once highlighted click on the Properties button.
Step  9) Now your Sound Cards Properties box should pop up
Step 10) Once popped up click on the Resources tab
Step 11) This page will give you all the information you need so get
         out your pad and write down  your Sound Cards make(the following
         sample will be based on my Sound Card)
         Example:
         ~~~~~~~~
         Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 or AWE-32

Step 12) Now write down everything in the Resource Settings List
         Example:
         ~~~~~~~~
         Input/Output Range   : 0220 - 022F
         Input/Output Range   : 0330 - 0331
         Input/Output Range   : 0338 - 038B
         Interrupt Request    : 5
         Direct Memory Access : 1
         Direct Memory Access : 5

Step 13) Converting all that mumbo-jumbo:
         Example:
         ~~~~~~~~
         Port = Input/Output Range   : 0220 - 022F 
         IRQ  = Interrupt Request    : 5
         DMA1 = Direct Memory Access : 1
         DMA2 = Direct Memory Access : 5

Step 14) Now you have the correct information for the sound setup.
         Close all the windows and run "setup.exe"

Step 15) Select the following options,
         Example:
         ~~~~~~~~
         Select Card: Sound Blaster 
         Port       : 0x200
         IRQ        : 5
         DMA1       : 1
         DMA2       : 5

Step 16) Test the sound then Save and Exit and run Super Roco Bros Part 2!


[Windows 2000/Windows ME]
