INFO



FFE FAQ



I went through alot to get this game. First I Searched

the web and found it on Ebay. Then I went through a week

long auction. When I finally won the auction I had to

create an account on PayPal because the owner wont accept

other payment. Then I had to wait three more painful days

before it finally arrived by mail.



This pack contains:



FFE.rar : The game files.

DATA.rar : This is the video files.

ReadMe.txt: This message.



I have splitted the game into two parts incase you only

want the game. It will work without the video files but

it might feel lonely in space so it's recomended. Besides,

it's quite impressive what they could achieve back then.



I have inserted some files to make it work on Windows without

Dos and Dosbox and found out that it also works on XP without

Dosbox. I also changed some sound FXs to more exciting ones.

If you want the old ones just check the FX folder and extract

the original over the new ones.



Installation:



1. Extract "FFE.rar".

2. Execute "ffewin28.exe" to play.



To use the video files extrct "DATA.rar" into "FIRSTENC"

folder. Then turn it on via the in-game configuration.



For those with impressive soundcards (not the motherboard

inbuild) might need to edit the file "ffewin.cfg" under

[SOUND] parameter, to make the mid music use your soundcards

sound library. Just change the 1 to 0 or something. I'm

not sure how but I got it to work on mine.



That's it!



Happy space warping.
