Start A New Game
|
||
|
||
|
||
LOADING EOS - Insert your game disk in drive 1, and turn on the
|
||
computer. In a few moments, the title screen appears, followed shortly
|
||
by a menu that asks whether your screen is in color or b/w. Type the
|
||
letter C for color, or B for b/w. A second, similar menu asks if you
|
||
are starting a new game or resuming an old (saved) game. Press Return
|
||
or the first joystick button to select New Game. At the prompt, insert
|
||
the Archive Disk, then press Return. The Archive disk contains program
|
||
information for starting a new game.
|
||
|
||
MAKE A MISSION DISK - Each new game requires a new Mission Disk, where
|
||
you'll store your game as it progresses. Select MAKE M DISK, and press
|
||
return. A prompt asks you to put a blank disk (formatted or not) in
|
||
drive 1, and press Return. If you have one drive, it takes about nine
|
||
disk swaps to copy the disk. If you have two drives, put the new disk
|
||
in drive 1, and the Mission Disk in drive 2, then press Return again.
|
||
When the copy is completed, put the original Mission Disk in a safe
|
||
place: you'll need it again whenever you start a New Game.
|
||
|
||
LOADING A NEW GAME - After you've made a new Mission Disk, you're ready
|
||
to start the game. At the prompt, insert the Archive Disk in any
|
||
drive. The onscreen menu offers you a choice of seven missions. If
|
||
this is your first encounter with EOS, we suggest you begin with the
|
||
"Research" mission. Select RESEARCH, and press Return. The game begins
|
||
automatically.
|
||
|
||
LOADING AN EXISTING GAME - Follow the Loading EOS instructions above,
|
||
but select OLD GAME. At the prompt, insert the Mission Disk for the
|
||
game you want to play, and press Return. The game loads automatically.
|
||
|
||
Note: EOS WILL NOT RUN ON THE APPLE IIGS.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Moving Around
|
||
|
||
You can control the EOS menus with a joystick, or from the keyboard.
|
||
Both options are available at all times during the game. you may move
|
||
the cursor to any part of the screen at any time during the game.
|
||
|
||
JOYSTICK CONTROL - Use the joystick to move the cursor right, left, up
|
||
or down. Menu items are highlighted as you move over them. Press
|
||
either the joystick button to select a highlighted command or module.
|
||
|
||
KEYBOARD CONTROL - Use the cursor arrows to move up or down through the
|
||
menus. Press the Space Bar to move between the Tools, Goodies, and View
|
||
menus, the Station Widow, and the Command Window.
|
||
|
||
Highlight Up or Down on the menu to raise or lower the amounts of
|
||
prices, payments, or other monetary figures. To change these values
|
||
slowly, hold down Return or the first joystick button. If you want to
|
||
change them faster, hold down the G key or the second joystick button
|
||
(NOTE: To use the G command, you MUST have the Cap Lock key depressed)
|
||
|
||
If you have more than 24 space stations, are using the keyboard, and are
|
||
viewing the CHOOSE A STATION window, press the Space Bar once to see the
|
||
stations on the bottom row of the screen. Use the right and left cursor
|
||
arrow keys to select the station you want to work with.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Leaving EOS
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you'd like to continue with the current game at a later time, select
|
||
SAVE from the Goodies menu, and follow the prompts. (You can only save
|
||
one game on each Mission Disk.) To leave the program, simply turn off
|
||
your computer.
