Igor - The Time Machine now officially released!If you like Supaplex, you will like Igor - The Time Machine even better. A completely modernized version of a game in the same genre, but an even greater challenge. Download the free demo version today!. |
This page will discuss the following:
If you want to know what Supaplex is before you download and install it, you can read the "What is it?"-page.
This chapter will explain how to install Supaplex, and the SpeedFix.
To install and play the game, follow the steps below. Please note however, that Supaplex
is a very old game, so it may not be easy for you to do this. If you
do not understand these instructions or they do not work for you, please
read the information in the FAQ about What to do if
the game does not work.
To use certain features in Supaplex, you may need to use command line options.
For more information about this, please refer to the Supaplex FAQ:
How do I use command line options in
Windows 95 and newer?
For more information about which commandline options you can use, you can
check out the SpeedFix documentation (the file SPFIX62.DOC) or you can look
up the question about what you want to do (e.g. play new levels, record a
demo, view a solution, etc.) in the Supaplex FAQ.
Some notes about this chapter:
I will assume you have downloaded the latest version of the SpeedFix from
the software page. If you haven't done that yet, please
download it before you continue.
To install the SpeedFix, follow these steps:
A step by step guide to your first game:
Above this player list is a box with "rankings". There you can
see how you're doing (it only makes sense if there are more players
playing, and they have both completed the same levels I guess...)
In the top right corner of the screen is the Hall of Fame box. It
displays the top players who have completed all levels. That means it's
usually empty :-)
Below the Hall of Fame box, there is a line with current player
statistics. His/Her total playing time, and the number of the level
that is to be played next (the "yellow" colored level).
Just below the current player info, there is a message line. It sometimes
displays useful information. Keep an eye on it.
In the middle on the bottom of the screen, there are two disks. If you
click on them, you can load a data disk. DO NOT USE IT. It does not
have a function anymore. If you want to know how you can play other
level(set)s, take a look at the
Supaplex FAQ.
Note that you have to play the levels more or less in the order they
are listed. If you can't solve a level, you can skip it. But you can't
skip more than three levels at any time
(How can I cheat?) If you can't get
past a level, and you have no skips left, you can take a look at the
solutions for all levels, but you really
should try to solve the levels yourself first.
When you get stuck with something (a level, a problem, etc.) please, please
take a look at the Supaplex FAQ first, before
contacting me about it. There really are a lot of answers in there!
If you like the game, maybe you will also like "Igor". It's a similar
game, only much more modern and with a lot more objects. Take a look at
the Igor homepage if you are interested.
If you need to contact me, you can take a look at the
contact information.

Chapter 2.2 - The SpeedFix
Chapter 3 - Playing Supaplex
I have a (small) collection of handy tricks you can use on many levels.
They will often mean the difference between life and death, so you
better get to know them... Read all about them on the
Supaplex Tricks page.
