*Game modes*
Arcade		=	This mode takes you through the entire Toy Trouble
(Single Player)		tournament. The first 4 opponents are all the main

			go into the dark attic to meet your final opponent, 
			Maximus. (When you've defeated Maximus, your main 
			rival will be selectable as well.)
Survival	=	In this mode you have to defeat as many opponents
(Single Player)		as you can, by using just one lifebar. You can get into 
			high scores if you manage to win more often than anyone
			else in the top 10 scores.
Time Attack	=	Try to beat all 9 opponents as fast as you can. If
(Single Player)		you're faster than anyone else in the top 10, you get 
			into the high scores.
Multiplayer	=	Here you battle against a friend (or enemy) using a
			splitscreen.
Network		=	Here you battle against a friend (or enemy) using a

*Weapons*
Bare hands	=	This weapon, which is always available, is used to
			punch the opponent to death. It's damage varies
			from character to character.
AK-71 Ping Pong	=	The extremely fast AK-71 shoots Ping Pong balls,
			which bounce of every wall and floor. Although not
			extremely powerful (only 3% per hit), it can be a
			very dangerous and handy weapon. But you'd better
			watch out that you don't get hit yourself. The AK-71 
			can be found in the purple/white boxes.
Machine Gun	=	The machine gun is the fastest weapon in the game.
			While it's bullets only damage the opponent 2% per
			hit, it is extremely good for wide range battles.
			The machine gun can be found in the blue/white
			boxes.
CD-Shooter	=	Although the CD-shooter is extremely powerful (10%
			per hit), it is only useful for close range battles.
			This is because it has a strange boomerang effect,
			which causes it to go backwards after a while.
			So make sure that when you use it, you don't get hit
			by it yourself. The CD-shooter can be found in the
			green/white boxes.
Rocket launcher	=	The rocket launcher is the most balanced weapon in Toy
			Trouble. It can be used for close range as well as for
			wide range battles. It is also extremely powerful
			with it's 20% per hit, but it's also very slow and
			it's much harder to find than most other weapons. The
			rocket launcher can be found in the red/white boxes.


*Upgrade boxes*
Speed boost	=	Boosts up your speed by 25%. It can be found in the
			blue/yellow boxes. Works only one round.
Strength boost	=	Boosts up your strength by 25%. It can be found in
			the red/yellow boxes. Works only one round.
Jump boost	=	Boosts up your jumps by 25%. It can be found in the
			black/yellow boxes. Works only one round.

3. Frequently Asked Questions
=============================

-I keep getting runtime errors. What's the problem?
*You probably didn't install the latest version of DirectX. Go to
http://www.microsoft.com/direct to download it.

-A few menu's aren't functioning properly. I can't see which button I've selected.
*Make sure you have a Graphics Card with at least 8 MB of memory. If you do so, 
you might want to check your color settings in the options program. 16-bit
colors use less video memory than the 24-bit or the 32-bit color setting. If this
doesn't solve your probably, try downloading new drivers for your videocard (for
section 6 in this readme) or the latest DirectX.

-When pressing OK in the options screen, I keep getting errors.
*Try deleting the "toytrouble.ini"-file in the Toy Trouble directory. Then restart
the options program.

-I've put music volume all the way up, but I still don't hear it.
*The music is only available on the CD version of Toy Trouble. If you want to listen
to the game's music, you've got to download this music and put on a cd.

-My PC has all necessary requirements, but the game still only runs at about 2 to 4
frames per second.
*You probably set RGB Emulation as the Graphics Device in the options program. Go
to the options screen and select Graphics. Set the device to Direct3D HAL instead
of RGB Emulation. Also make sure that the resolution settings are not too high.

-When I use the multiplayer option and press a button, Player 1 as well Player 2
do the same action, at the same time.
*The keyboard settings are the set the same way for both players. Go to the options
program and then to Controls Player 2. Change the button settings there. It is
recommended that both players use a different input device.
