Operating instructions

Use the room

  1. Choose a cassette from the shelf. It loads and plays immediately. You can also use the header shortcuts to go directly to a studio page or playable demo.
  2. Game films begin with a cinematic advertisement and continue into a gameplay tour. Poot-Poot’s cassette opens its browser adventure page. Use Trailer or Gameplay tour beneath the player to choose a chapter. Red DEMO READY tags mark playable builds.
  3. Scroll down from the player to read about the game, browse its artwork, and find available downloads. Studio reels also open full pages beneath the television. The other room equipment remains farther down.
  4. PLAY pauses and resumes the current film. REW starts the tape again. EJECT returns the cassette to the VCR mouth. Use the video’s sound and full-screen controls, or the television controls on larger screens.
  5. The portable set carries forty-eight channels. Use CH, GUIDE, volume, picture, and fine tuning.
  6. Dial immediately—the receiver lifts automatically. You can also click the handset directly. Numbers appear throughout Navigator 96 and the television channels.
  7. On Kadabra 95, open Dial-Up, connect to 555-0196, then launch Navigator 96 to explore the 1996 web.
  8. The first room route still begins on portable TV channel 03 with the service clock set to 03:13.

Nothing important disappears. Controls give visible feedback, and the room keeps a small route display beside the intercom.
