Run the game
Let us start in the beginning:

  1. You have downloaded this game or got it from a friend.
  2. You have unzipped the AW.ZIP to your HD. If you use the DOS program PKUNZIP.EXE then you used the -d option, right?
  3. Quit Windows - If you don't, the game will run very unstable.
  4. Go to the dictonary where you unzipped AW.ZIP.
  5. TYPE AW
  6. The game now begins.
  7. You can now get warnings (No soundcard etc.).
  8. A 'Loading' screen now appears.
  9. A menu now appears.
  10. Select 'Start'. And you're playing Around the World.
If you got an error message then look at the FAQ section.

You can also type:
AW NOMUSIC - To disable the music.
AW NOTHING - To disable Sound and music. This option is highly recommended by SoundBlaster Live! owners.
AW NOSMOOTH - To make the game faster.
AW ? - To get a command list.
