So you decided to enlist in the arcade army,eh? well, around here
|
|||
|
|
there's only one way to do things-- the army way! So stand up
|
|||
|
|
straight, wipe that silly smile off your face and listen up, soldier!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To begin
|
|||
|
|
-------- Put the disk in the drive and turn the computer on. Watch the
|
|||
|
|
educational training film that appears on the screen. After you have
|
|||
|
|
memorized it, you can bypass it by pressing the <return> key.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Signing up
|
|||
|
|
---------- Enter your serial number. (this is a number between 1 and
|
|||
|
|
5, inclusive). The computer will ask you your name. Type it in. From
|
|||
|
|
now on, every time you boot the disk it will display your name,rank,
|
|||
|
|
and serial number. Never tell a foreign (or domestic) spy any more
|
|||
|
|
than that, it might lead to your demise. It's also against regulations
|
|||
|
|
and in this army, we do things the army way!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To proceed to the training area, press the <esc> key. Once there, you
|
|||
|
|
will be greeted by the drill instructor. The di's primary occupation
|
|||
|
|
is the motivation of recruits. He will motivate you to pick one of
|
|||
|
|
five training areas. Should his methods fail to persuade you to make a
|
|||
|
|
decision, you'll be booted out of the arcade army and you'll have to
|
|||
|
|
reenlist if you ever want to amount to anything.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Watch out for land mines. They could turn up at anytime, just to keep
|
|||
|
|
you recruits on your toes. But there's not enough powder in them to
|
|||
|
|
waste you, only to teach you to watch where you're going. Get smart
|
|||
|
|
and maybe we'll remove the mines later.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ordnance regulations
|
|||
|
|
-------------------- The military hardware used in your training has
|
|||
|
|
some built-in features worth taking advantage of. The "p" key will
|
|||
|
|
pause the simulation. <ctrl-s> will toggle the sound effects <sp bar>
|
|||
|
|
or holding down both joystick buttons at the same time will allow you
|
|||
|
|
to bypass the music that follows failure during any task. Please note
|
|||
|
|
that often the reason for your failure will be pointed out on the
|
|||
|
|
screen with a small arrow. Study it carefully.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Rank
|
|||
|
|
---- The purpose of your training is to work your way up to the rank
|
|||
|
|
of sergeant major. Right now you're a lowly civilian and unless you
|
|||
|
|
shape up you're going to stay one! Should you show some aptitude, you
|
|||
|
|
may earn your stripes as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
