GETTING STARTED
Please ensure that this game is compatible with your system.
This game is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows ME and requires a minimum of a P2 233
processor, 2X CD Rom Drive, 128Mb Ram, at least 160Mb of free space
on hard disk, a DirectX 8 compliant 3D accelerated video card with at
least 4MB of memory.
Installing the game
Shut down all applications before installing Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry.
Insert the installation CD for Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry in the CD-ROM
drive. If the automatic execution function is turned on, the installation
menu for Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry appears automatically.
If the automatic execution function is not turned on, double-click the "My
Computer" icon, double click the icon representing the CD-ROM drive,
double click the "Setup.exe" icon and then follow the instructions below.
Select "Install Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry " to start the installation
procedure, then follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
The installation program automatically proposes the installation
corresponding to your PC. The options you choose (minimum or
maximum installation) have a direct influence on the quality of the game.
The maximum installation takes up more space on your hard disk, but
the game will then be more seamless and loading times will be shorter.
Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry is installed by default in C:\Program Files\Ubi
Soft\Vis Entertainement\Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry. When the
installation is complete, a shortcut to Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry is
added to the Start menu.
Once the installation is finished, click "Play." to go on and play the game
or Click "Quit" if you wish to leave the menu.
To start the game, double click the Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry icon on your
desktop or use the shortcut to Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry in the "Start"
menu found in C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Ubi Soft\Tom and Jerry in
Fists of Furry.
Installing DirectX
Make sure the installation CD-ROM for Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry is in
the CD-ROM drive.
As soon as you start the installation procedure the program
automatically checks to see if DirectX needs to be installed or upgraded.
If so, it offers to do so. If you have problems with Tom and Jerry: Fists of
Furry, refer to the Troubleshooting section below before calling
technical support.
Once the installation is complete, you must restart your PC to enable the
new drivers to function.
Troubleshooting:
You must have a 3D-compatible accelerator card with at least 4 MB of
video RAM. DirectX 8 must be installed on your computer. DirectX 8 is
provided on the installation CD for Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry and can
be installed directly by selecting "Install DirectX8" from the list of
installation options.
Most of the problems encountered in DirectX games are related to
obsolete versions of the sound card and/or video card drivers. If you
have problems with Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry, take the time to read
readme.txt. In it you will find the URLs of websites for the manufacturers
of common sound cards and video cards.
First contact the manufacturers of your graphic and sound cards (on
their Internet sites or by telephone) in order to obtain the latest version
of the drivers.
If you have several accelerator cards, choose the ones that are capable
of 3D acceleration.
To Play
To play, simply double click on the Tom and Jerry: Fists of Furry icon on
your desktop or go to the Start Menu and select C:\WINDOWS\Start
Menu\Programs\Ubi Soft\Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry.
Uninstalling
In Windows, choose the "Uninstall" option in Start Menu\Programs\Ubi
Soft\Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry. Insert the installation CD-ROM for Tom
and Jerry: Fists of Furry and click the "Uninstall" button in the menu. You
will thus erase all the game data.

WHAT’S THE STORY, JERRY?
Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry is the first game designed specifically to pit
that classic cat and mouse duo against each other in madcap combat
(or should that be "madcat Tombat"?). Fists of Furry draws upon the
classic MGM Tom & Jerry series originally aired in the 30s and 40s,
recreating many of the environments, situations, props and gags to
create an action packed, light hearted fighting game that kids of all ages
can play and enjoy. The entire classic cast is recreated here for the first
time in full 3D – Tom, Jerry, Spike, Tyke, Duckling and more are all here
ready to annihilate each other with a huge variety of implements.
Chairs, frying pans, sticks of dynamite, watermelon, and more will be
lying around ready to use against your opponent. Put your paws up and
get ready for a massive concussion of cartoon chaos!
MENU CONTROLS
Cursor Keys
The Cursor keys are used to navigate the menu options.
The Enter Key
The Enter key is used to select the highlighted option or to switch between
the various options.
Attack
The default Button for Attack is CTRL this can be changed from the
options menu. This is your main offensive button – bare-handed it can
be used to give your opponent a good old knuckle sandwich. Hit this
button quickly three times to see something special! This isn’t the Tom &
Jerry way of doing things though, so punches and kicks will only do a
wimpy amount of damage compared to using weapons and props.
If you have a weapon or prop, you can press the Attack
button to use it. Holding down the Attack button will allow
you to charge the weapon. After about a second, you’ll see
yellow stars pop out of the weapon and voila! it’s charged –
meaning you do more damage when you smite your enemy
with it.
But wait! There’s more! Hold the Attack even longer and
you’ll see stars appear again – this time they’re red – meaning
the weapon is super-charged – it will inflict the maximum
amount of damage known to man and critter!
One last Attack move you can perform is that you can shove
props along the ground towards your opponent. Just move
over to the prop (a crate, a gift-wrapped Xmas gift, etc.) and
press “Attack” while touching it and you’ll push the prop,
inflicting much pain if you hit your opponent.
Pick Up/Catch
See that nifty chair over there? You want it don’t you? Well,
stand near it and a coloured highlight will appear around it.
Now you can press the Pick Up/Catch button to pick it up.
Ooh, it feels good doesn’t it? Now where’s that cat?
Another ultra-cool trick with this button is you can catch stuff
thrown at you if you press the Pick Up/Catch button just as
the object strikes you.
The Escape Key
The escape key is used to go back to the previous menu screen.
The game controls are set-up in the controls menu. To change a
selected item press the enter key and then press the key that you wish
to use for this action.
Duck
GAME CONTROLS
Move Left/Right/Up/Down
Pretty basic, these controls will move your character around
the environment.
The default button for Duck is A this can be changed from the options menu.
No, not as in Duckling, but as in "Look out for that garbage can aimed
straight at your head!!!" If you press Duck under airborne projectiles
coming towards you they’ll fly over your head and you’ll avoid a nasty
bump or two. .
Jump
4
The default Button for Jump is SPACE BAR this can be changed from the
options menu. Press this once and you’ll leap skywards a short distance. In
the hands of a pro, you can hit this again in mid-air to "double jump" your
way even higher!
5
GAME OBJECT (OR HOW ABOUT A LITTLE T&J?)
Team Mode:
Here’s the deal. It’s simple. Beat the @%&*#! out of the other guy! You
can select to play as either Tom, Jerry, or, later on, one of the other
characters in the T&J universe. Playing against the computer or against
another humanoid, it don’t matter, you just need to flatten that other
dude ASAP!
Of course since this is "Tom & Jerry", the best way to do this is not with
your bare hands, but with the many weapons and props lying around
the room all waiting to be picked up and used in ways that no one ever
intended. Brain your opponent with a broom, squash him with a shovel,
or waste ‘em with a tossed washer-drier – it’s all good clean fun!
This mode will only
become available after beating the game
with every character. Team mode lets you
and an opponent (either a living or silicon
one) play a match with a team of up to
four Tom and Jerry characters who take
turns in the arena. The characters fight in
the order you select them – once the first
character is knocked flat, the second will
take his place, etc. until one player has
defeated all his or her characters.
Power Level: In Versus and Team Mode, each player can change the
number of stars below their character to make it easier or harder for
their opponent.
GAME MODES
Single Player: This mode will allow you to
play vs. the computer. Pretty handy when
you’re all by your lonesome.
GAME OPTIONS
The Options screen allows you to change minor features of the game
match to suit your particular play style.
Bout Length: Set the length of each game round to 120, 150, 180
seconds, or give an unlimited amount of time for each bout.
Bouts: Set this to 1, 3 or 5 to determine how many rounds will make
up a game.
Versus. Mode: This game mode is quite
handy when you have an actual living
body to play against.
Difficulty: Set to "Easy", "Medium" or "Hard" to make the computer
opponent more or less difficult.
Audio: Allows you to change the music or effects volume.

THE CAST
Jerry
GAME INTERFACE
Tom
Spike
Tuffy
You start by being able to play as either Tom or Jerry. More characters
will be unlocked as the single player game is played through
successfully. Master the single player game and you will be able to
select from all seven characters!
WEAPONS AND PROPS
Hand-to-Hand Weapons
Above is a screen shot of your typical
"Fists of Furry" game. At the top of the
screen are displayed each characters
Health Bars. Each Health bar will start filled
with yellow to indicate a healthy
character. As the game round progresses,
the health bar will go down as each
character has the tar beat out of him until
the first character reaches zero health. As
you can probably guess, that guy loses
the round.
The Timer sits between the health bars and is set at 120 seconds,
although you can set it for greater amounts of time, or turn it off,
through the options menu. When the timer counts down to zero,
whatever character has the most health wins the game.
A Ribbon underneath a character’s health bar indicates that character
has won a bout.
The Charges dot indicates how many uses a weapon has before
it disappears.
HEALTH PICK UPS
Fork
Newspaper
Shovel
Successful attacks will knock collectable health out of
opponents. When a player is hit with a certain force, a
number of first aid kits will fly out of them and land around
the arena. These will sit for a few seconds before fading
away, but either player can grab them to boost their health
level slightly. Small attacks will not release health (but will
damage the victim a little).
Thrown Weapons
Water melon
(kitchen)
Tomato
(kitchen)
Milk Bottle
(garden)
Flower Pot
(garden)
Some of these are heavy, so you wont be able to run or jump whilst
carrying them!

SPECIAL POWER UPS
GAME LEVELS
As you play "Fists of Furry", mystery power ups will appear
at random, looking like revolving question marks. If
you collect one of these question marks, it will give
your character a special ability for a short time.
These abilities are:
Invisibility: Turning invisible will make you harder to hit, as
it turns off the games "auto-targeting" for thrown weapons
and props. To hit an invisible opponent is harder, but not
impossible – you’ll have to face your character more
precisely in the invisible opponent’s direction when
throwing stuff at them.
Catchin’ In The Kitchen
Guard in the Garden
Double Damage: This red halo will turn your character into
one fearsome critter, allowing him to do double damage
with every strike.
Invincibility: This super tough Jell-o mold will protect your
character from all attacks until it goes away.
Alley Alley Action Free!
Duck Duck Loose
Measles: This noxious green cloud will drain your energy
bar continuously but can be passed to your opponent by
touching him. This will vanish on its own after a time.
10
You start by being able to play in the Kitchen and the Garden. More
levels will be unlocked as you successfully play through the single player
game. Master the single player game and you will be able to select
from all 10 levels!
