But beware of Sharktooth, if he finds you you'll drop all your items and have to start over. When you've found all your items and returned Cera home safely, you'll win tree stars. Remember, the more difficult the maze is, the more tree stars you'll win!

DINO TRIVIA

Join Ducky in a fun game of Dinosaur Trivia. You will answer questions based on The Land Before Time movie or from real life Dino facts! To play, select the picture that best answers the question. If you want to hear the question again, click the text. If you want to hear another question, click the arrow pointing up. You get more tree stars if you can answer questions about actual Dino facts!


EGG ROLL

Littlefoot needs your help to get the egg to safety. Place objects from the left side of the screen in the egg's path to guide it to the nest at the bottom. Use the objects to change the direction of the egg, make a bridge for the egg, give the egg a cushion, or give the egg a ramp. Use the small lava rivers on the left to choose your level of skill. If you help get the egg to safety so it hatches, you'll win tree stars!


FLYING GAME

Help Littlefoot or one of his friends fly across the river and land safely in the tall grass. Click on a character to place them on a tree, then use the arrow keys on the rocks at the bottom to position the tree and how far it is bent. When you are ready to send them on their way, click the dinosaur holding the rope. Use the different sized palm trees on the right to choose your level of skill. The higher the level, the more objects you must avoid hitting. When you land them safely in the grass on the other side, you'll win a tree star, or maybe more!


Introduction

Welcome to The Land Before Time Activity Center. Throughout the Great Valley you'll find lots of fun places to explore. Each activity has something different for you to try. You can win tree stars by completing each activity. The more tree stars you win, the more movies you can see with Littlefoot and his friends in the Tree Star Forest. If you need help finding your way around the Great Valley, click on the question mark in the rock.

MAKE A STORY

You can create a story about one of the characters and have it read back to you. To begin, choose one of the blinking eggs near Petrie. Then, try to put the sentences in the right order by dragging them up and down the list. The top is the beginning and the bottom is the end. When you have finished putting the sentences in order, you must create a picture story to go along with the sentence. After you have finished the pictures, click on the book that Petrie is holding to have the story read to you. You will win a tree star for every story you finish!


Printing

Several of the activities will have a Dino Footprint icon at the bottom of the screen which can be clicked to print out pictures. All images will print in color, if a color printer is available.

Please make sure that your printer is configured properly before printing.


TREE STAR FOREST

Here you can join Littlefoot and his friends and see video clips from the movie. To see your choices of video clips, click on the projector on the bottom left.

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS

Optimizing Your System

If you experience problems with your program, we recommend you try the following:

CD-ROM's

CD-ROMs are durable, but not indestructible. If you encounter problems, you need to check for scratches on both sides of the disc. Scratches can render a disc useless, especially if the scratch chips off any of the silver coating.  Scratches can also cause problems with reading the disc, which then causes read failures.

If you're using SMARTDRV.EXE, add /X and /U to the command line to disable caching features that may interfere with smooth CD-ROM performance.

Video

Out-of-date video drivers can cause problems.  If you experience problems with your video card, we recommend that you contact the card manufacturer and obtain the most current drivers. Most manufacturers produce updated drivers several times every year. Its a good idea to regularly check for updates.

You may experience problems when running at higher video resolutions, or with a large number of colors. We've optimized our program to run in 640x480x256 colors. If you encounter problems, we recommend that you set your video to this resolution before running the program.

Memory

The more programs you have running in Windows at one time, the less memory is available for our program to use. This may result in an insufficient memory error message. To check which applications are currently running, open your task list by pressing <CTRL+ESC>.  Close any unnecessary applications and then rerun our program.

Disable any wallpaper you may have open in the background. This will free up memory for our program to use.

Make sure you have a permanent swap file allocated that is 7-10 megabytes in size. You may be losing out on accessible memory if you have a smaller swap file. (For more information about swap files, please refer to your Microsoft Windows documentation.) Note: Windows 95 users should let Windows 95 control the size of their swap file instead of setting it manually.

Audio

Make sure that you've installed and properly set up the most current drivers for your sound card.

Make sure that your DMA, IRQ, and Port Address settings in Windows match the settings on your sound and video cards.

If you do not hear any sound when running the program,  make sure that the mixer control for your soundcard is turned up to an appropriate level. You should also make sure that your speakers are properly plugged into the sound card.
