DEMO
----------------------
The DEMO consists of 1 Player and 2 Player (VS.) mode only.  The 
user will only be able to select from two characters (Jake or Magnon). 
However, Jake will be the only computer player available in the 1 Player 
mode.  All other characters cannot be selected in this DEMO.

The Lava World is the only environment available on this DEMO.
    
The user will have the ability to configure the game by going into the  
"OPTIONS" menu, but not all features are available in the demo.  The 
following list of features are adjustable/operational in the Configuration 
Menu.
        BOUT OPTIONS
          Game Speed - Slow, Normal, Fast, Turbo
          Autosave Stats - On/Off
          Sound/CD Volume - User Adjustable
        KEYBOARD
          All default key settings are adjustable. To change default settings
          press the SPACE BAR and select the new key.  Use the arrow keys or 
          the JUMP and DUCK keys (Default P1 A & Z, P2 L & comma) to move
          around the screen.  
          Note: Please ensure that the key you wish to change is the one 
          that is highlighted.
        JOYSTICK
          To calibrate the controller highlight the word "CALIBRATE" and 
          press the SPACE BAR or the punch button (A) on the controller. 
          Follow the instructions prompts underneath the respective Joystick 
          to finish the calibration sequence.  
          Note: Four button joysticks may conflict with the second player 
          utilizing the keyboard.  We recommend playing the demo with a 
          two button controller.
        DETAIL LEVELS
          The detail levels are user adjustable.  On lower end platforms
          (486/33DX), we recommend that setting are set to LOW and OFF.  
          Trying to run the game at high detail settings may slow down game 
          performance.  The user will be able to adjust the detail level of 
          the characters and the floor.
          Note: The "Perspective" option is intended only for high end PCs.  
          You should not use the "Perspective" option unless you are running 
          the game from a Pentium PC.
