| Introduction |
|
||
<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|
||
|
||
Seven Cities is a game of discovery. The instructions in this file
|
||
will help you get started by telling you how to create a map disk and
|
||
how to make one complete trip to and from the New World. You may then
|
||
turn to the manual if you want additional hints and information.

| Make a Historical Map Disk |
|
||
<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|
||
|
||
Boot side 2 of the game disk (i.e., put the disk in drive 1 upside
|
||
down and turn on your computer or simultaneously press Open Apple,
|
||
Control, and Reset). Side 2 contains the map you want to copy as well
|
||
as the copy program itself, so when you see the message, "Insert the
|
||
disk you want to copy from and press 'space'...", just press the
|
||
[SPACE BAR]. When you seethe message, "Insert the disk you want to
|
||
copy to and press 'space'...", insert a black disk. Continue following
|
||
the prompt instructions as they appear (remembering that side 2 of the
|
||
program disk is the disk you're copying from) until you see the
|
||
message "Good copy..."
|
||

| Boot Side 1 of the Game Disk |
|
||
<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|
||
|
||
Once the title starts appearing on the screen, you may press the
|
||
[SPACE BAR] at any time to complete that process. When the complete
|
||
title is on the screen, make sure you have a joystick plugged in and
|
||
press [RETURN]. Then press the joystick button to select the
|
||
highlighted "Play the Game" option. When prompted to do so, remove
|
||
the game disk and put your map disk in the drive, and press the button
|
||
again to select "Play a New Game". (If the highlight is not on "Play
|
||
the Game" and "Play a New Game", use the joystick to move it there
|
||
before pressing the button.)
|
||
|
||
Finally, use the joystick to move the highlight to the level you want
|
||
and press the button. To play, choose any level except Demo. If this
|
||
is your first trip. Novice level is recommended.

| Set Sail |
|
||
<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|
||
|
||
Use the joystick to move to the left to your ship. (Hold down the
|
||
button to move faster.) At sea, set course (and "automatic pilot") by
|
||
pressing the button while you push the joystick in the direction you
|
||
want to go. Study the screen border for information about the passage
|
||
of time and your status. Note to novices: Set your course due west
|
||
when leaving Europe and you will soon come to a very interesting
|
||
island.

|
||
|
||
Sail in close and press the button. Use the joystick to move the
|
||
highlight over "Drop Stuff Off" and press the button again. Now use
|
||
the joystick to transfer men, food, and goods from the ships to a land
|
||
expedition. (To move all of an item, hold the button down as you move
|
||
the stick to the right or left.) When you're ready, move the stick up
|
||
until "leave" appears and press the button.

<=-=*=---------------------------=*=-=>
|
||
|
||
On land and in villages, pressing the button while moving changes your
|
||
speed, pressing it while at rest produces an options menu. If you
|
||
choose the view map option, your position on the map is approximately
|
||
in the center.

|
||
|
||
Villages are marked for novices. At other levels, you must stand
|
||
still and look for the blinking light that signifies a village
|
||
location. Once inside, look for the chief (who does not move) in the
|
||
village center, being careful not to bump into too many inhabitants
|
||
unless you want to fight. If you get to trade, look on the bottom of
|
||
the screen for information about prices and how many goods you have.

|
||
|

Try the court for rewards, your home for a status report, the
|
||
outfitters for new men and supplies, the pub to save what you've
|
||
accomplished, then set sail again.

Start up the program as though you were going to play, then select
|
||
"Create Another World" and follow the instructions as they appear on
|
||
the screen. The creation process can take as long as 10 minutes.
