Video Options
Here you can choose to use default OpenGL driver, or 3DFX stand-alone
driver (for users of older 3DFX chipsets). Under preferences you can choose
from the following:
Normal: optimal settings for your card
Speed: for lower rendering quality and higher speed
Quality: for higher rendering quality and lower speed
All the settings are relative to your card capabilities, as detected by the game.
You can also choose a resolution, bit-depth and whether to run the game in
full screen or in window.
Audio Options
You can choose from three Sound System Options: Waveout, DirectSound,
or EAX (only available on EAX-compliant cards like SoundBlaster Live). You
can set the sound playback quality at 11kHz, 22kHz or 44kHz, or turn the
sound off. Music volume and sound effects volume is adjustable separately.

Custom Level
When a level is loaded for the first time (on any difficulty), it automatically
appears in the Custom Level menu. This allows those who got stuck in that
level (because it was too difficult to pass or too easy) to restart that level on
any other difficulty.

Select Quick Load to access pre-defined Saved Games.
