RELEASE NOTES
Outcast is the all-new 3D-action-adventure developed by the young and
ambitious software company Appeal, who have set up their camp in
Namur, Belgium. In Outcast the player aka hero Cutter Slade has to
fight, sneak and discuss his way through a parallel-world full of
bloodthirsty enemies and neutral NPCs. Unlike anything ever seen
before, Outcast seems to be the first game to deliver "Real-Life-3D",
possible by generating a highly interactive environment with it's own
ground-breaking artificial intelligence system GAIA. Featuring
top-notch Voxel- and Polygon-graphics and a huge world to discover,
Outcast is heading to be one of the blockbusters of the year.

Ripped:
To get this baby down to 50 disks, we had to take out the speech, movies
and high resolutions. Expect an addon with the highres stuff.
Some wonderful classic music was also heard from the second (audio) cd.
Install:
Unzip, and then either unpack manually or use the INSTALL.EXE. WINUnzip
VOICE.ZIP to your installation dir overwriting your current files. Copy
the LOADER.INI included in disk 1, to your installation dir and run the
LOADER.EXE to start the game - you will be presented with the settings
menu - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THESE SETTINGS : don't choose a screen resolu-
tion above 320x240 unless you have the addon - do not activate Highres
Anims either or Bumpmapping without it. Also make sure subtitles are
engaged and voices are turned off. And for those who would ask us every 5
minutes: there is NO support. for any hardware 3d acceleration because of
the use of Voxel technology. Keep Voices turned off and Subtitles turned
Enjoy - and if you like this game, BUY it!
Thanks to everyone who gave a helping hand in this release like Snap,
Hankman (Mr. Securom), Brainski, Satan, Yazz and of course our special
friend (you know who you are) - we owe you some Rum-Colas ;)
Cheers, Goaman
