DESCRIPTION.\r\nPrepare for the ultimate in bike racing. We're not just talking about a\r\nrace here, we're talking about THE race. The ultimate trial of man and\r\nmachine. Not a cross-country but a cross-continent by whatever route gets\r\nyou through. It's the ultimate challenge to burn rubber in the dust of\r\nAfrica , the mystical green of Asis, the concrete jungles of America and\r\nthe wide open spaces of Europe.\r\nThe different continents represent levels of the game with Africa\r\nbeing the easiest with six stages and Europe the most difficult with 18.\r\nGAMEPLAY.\r\nYou begin each race with 50 seconds to reach the next stage. If you make\r\nit, you earn yourself 30 more seconds to complete the next stage and each\r\nsubsequent stage until you finaly reach the finishing line. The bike is\r\nconrolled either by mouse or the joystick with the fire button operating the\r\nNitro button that takes you to top speeds when the speed figure, at the top\r\nof the screen, turns red.\r\nYou're not the only one in the race so look out for the other bikes who may\r\ntry and nudge you off the track. If there are no obstacles in the way, such as\r\ntrees or signs, then you can come straight back on. If there are and you\r\ncrash, you'll restart the race in the centre of the track but you will have lost\r\nvaluable seconds.\r\nMENU OPTIONS.\r\nOnce the game has loaded a list of four menu options are displayed through\r\nwhich you can define game criteria. These options are selected by pressing\r\nthe appropriate letter key.\r\nS - Sensitivity Adjust.\r\nIn joystick mode, this causes a cycling of the three joystick sensitivities\r\n(speed with which the man leans from side to side). In mouse control mode\r\nthis produces a separate instruction screen to define the scale of left and\r\nright mouse movements you will make.\r\nC - Control Adjust.\r\nThis toggles between mouse and joystick control. Control selected at\r\nstartup is mouse<\/pre>\n
\n
R - Scan Rate Adjust.\r\nThis toggles between 50 and 60HZ. 50 HZ is normal.\r\nH - Save\/Load High Scores.\r\nThis produces a seperate menu from which you can load and save hi-score\r\ntables.\r\nCONTROLS.\r\nTo start the game either press the fire button or mouse button. The\r\ncontinent screen will then be displayed. This is used to select which\r\ncontinent you wish to play. Use the ACCELERATE control to swap\r\nbetween them and NITRO control to select. The same two controls are\r\nused to swap between and select one of the four pieces of music that will\r\nplay during the games or you can press the SPACE BAR to select no key.\r\n\r\nIn joystick control mode, the following controls apply:-\r\nLEFT\t\t\tLean Left.\r\nRIGHT\t\t\tLean Right.\r\nFORWARD\t\t\tAccelerate.\r\nBACK\t\t\tBrake.\r\nFIRE\t\t\tNitro.\r\n\r\nIn mouse control mode, the following controls apply:-\r\nMOVE LEFT\t\tLean Left (amount of lean determined\r\nMOVE RIGHT\t\tLean Right (by mouse movement).\r\nLEFT MOUSE BUTTON\tAccelerate.\r\nSPACE BAR\t\tBrake (Also any joystick movement or\r\n\t\t\tRETURN).\r\nRIGHT MOUSE BUTTON\tNitro.\r\n\r\nIn all control modes, the following controls apply:-\r\nESC\t\t\tPause game.

DESCRIPTION.\r\nOur hero, a seasoned veteran of many Space Wars is on the scene again.\r\nThis time to save the Dragon land which is occupied by barbaric and evil\r\ncreatures and controlled by  supernatural phenomena.\r\nSpace Harrier is an original action packed adventure that pits you in\r\nmortal combat with aliens of another planet.\r\n\r\nGAMEPLAY.\r\nSpace Harrier is probably the most alien game you will ever play as it pits\r\nyou alone, against a planetful of dangers. Armed with a laser bolt gun and\r\na jetpack that allows you to fly on this low gravity world you must fight\r\nalien monsters while avoiding meteor storms as well as natural hazards such\r\nas giant rock columns and trees.\r\nThe result is agame in which your reactions will have to be finely tuned\r\nand combined with an ice cool nerve, as any mistake will cost you one\r\nof your three lives.\r\n\r\nLIVES AND CREDITS.\r\nSpace Harrier gives you four credits when you begin a game which are used\r\nup every time you lose your third life. As long as you press fire within\r\nthe nine second countdown the game will continue from your previous\r\nposition. If the countdown reaches zero you will begin the game again from\r\nthe first screen.\r\n\r\nCONTROLS.\r\nSpace Harrier can be controlled either through the joystick or the mouse.\r\nOn loading the mouse is selected.\r\nTo select the joystick or revert back to the mouse press the following keys\r\nwhen the title screen is displayed.\r\nM - Mouse.\r\nJ - Joystick.<\/pre>\n
\n
To pause the game press the SPACE BAR. (any key to continue).\r\nMouse and Joystick controls are identical and are as follows:-\r\nLEFT\t\t\t\tFly or run left.\r\nRIGHT\t\t\t\tFly or run right.\r\nUP\t\t\t\tTake off or fly up.\r\nDOWN\t\t\t\tLand or fly down.\r\nFIRE(or either mouse button)\tFire laser bolt.\r\nTHE FIRST STAGE.\r\nSpace Harrier is played in anumber of stages each culminating in a duel\r\nwith a flying dragon. To help you start your quest here is what you will\r\nface in the first stage.\r\nMETEORS - These are designed to catch unwary flying players. They can\r\nnot be shot and must be avoided.\r\nWAVE ALIENS - Thes attack in set patterns that can be learned to plan\r\nyour best moment to attack them. Hint - They only fire at you when they fly\r\ntowards you and try and catch you in a crossfire.\r\nTRIPLE ALIENS - Three ball shaped aliens fly towards you and the open up\r\nto fire spinning bolts at you. Take them out before they get you.\r\nTREES - Don't underestimate the impact a tree can have on an unwary\r\nplayer.\r\nSo, keep an eye out for these while you're dodging the alien fire. Unlike\r\nthe giant rock pillars in later stages you can avoid a collision if you're\r\nquick enough with the fire button.\r\nTHE DRAGON - A mighty monster that breathes fire as it charges at you.\r\nYou will have to hit this monster several times before you destroy it. As you\r\nweaken it, it changes colour until it turns purple before exploding. The\r\nway is then open to the next stage and even greater challenges.\r\n\r\nHINTS.\r\n1) Use the continue option to learn the stages before going for those high\r\nscores.\r\n2) Learn what monsters do and which ones can be shot or must be avoided.\r
\r\nDISK F\r\nSUPER HUEY.<\/strong>\r\n
DESCRIPTION.\r\nThe UX-1XA is a new, experimental helicopter using the latest in electronic\r\ncontrol systems and stabilisation. This simulation takes you through the\r\nearly stages of learning to fly and then onto mapping, search and rescue\r\nand compat missions. Follow the instructions for the sample fight and\r\npractise using the controls and reading the banks of instruments untill\r\nyou 're confident enough to try one of the missions. But remember the\r\ncontrols must be handled gently as sudden movements can send the\r\nhelicopter crashing out of control.\r\n\r\nGETTING STARTED.\r\nOnce the game has loaded and the title sequence is complete press the F7\r\nkey to power up the onboard computer and type in MISSION (then press\r\nRETURN) followed by one of the four mission commands and press\r\nRETURN:\r\n\tSchool.\r\n\tExplore.\r\n\tCombat.\r\n\tRescue.\r\nINSTRUMENTS.\r\nThe Super Huey screen has a comprehensive bank of instuments.\r\nAbove the main view (from left to right) are the incoming radio frequency,\r\nhoming device heading, navigation heading, rescue device heading,\r\nnavigation marker screen, machine gun and rocket arming indicators and\r\nsystem status indicator lights.\r\nIn the centre below the main view is the onboard computer screen and\r\nto the left of that three engine indicators (blue is normal, yellow and red\r\nare warnings).\r\nAcross the bottom are gauges that show the fuel level, oil pressure, engine\r\ntemperature, wind direction, collective pitch, air speed, speedometer, ground\r\nproximity and altimeter readings, as well as the artificial horizon.\r\nFollow the example flight instructions to locate these controls and their\r\nmeaning.<\/pre>\n
\n
SUPER HUEY (2)<\/strong><\/p>\n
CONTROLS.\r\nThe four main control systems of a helicopter are:-\r\n1)The cyclic controls the direction and altitude of the helicopter.\r\n2)The collective controls the amount of thrust produced by the rotor\r\n  blades in the direction set by the cyclic.\r\n3)The throttle directly controls engine power output and RPM.\r\n4)The anti-torque control adjusts torque compensation and directional\r\n  control\t(by yawing) to maintain heading.\r\n\r\nThe Super Huey is controlled by mouse controls and through keyboard\r\ncommands typed into the onboard computer.\r\nMOUSE CONTROLS.\r\nPressing and holding the left mouse button engages cyclic control (operates\r\nlike normal helicopter cyclic controller. In this mode mouse movement\r\ncontrols forward thrust (FORWARD - increase, BACK - decrease) and\r\nbanking left and right including diagonals.\r\n\r\nPressing and holding the right mouse button engages collective control:-\r\nFORWARD\t- Increase pitch angle decrease lift.\r\nBACK\t- Increase blade pitch and produce more lift\r\nLEFT\t- Increase throttle.\r\nRIGHT\t- Decrease throttle.\r\n\r\nFIRE COMMANDS.\r\nLEFT SHIFT\t- Fires rockets.\r\nRIGHT SHIFT\t- Fires machine guns.\r\n\r\nFUNCTION KEYS.\r\nF1-F4\t- First press loads rocket into bay (1-4) ,second press arms\r\n\t  rocket.\r\nF5\t- Arms the machine guns in combat missions.\r\nF6\t- Not used.\r\nF7\t- Computer on.\r\nF8\t- Start engine.\r\nF9\t- Engage rotor clutch.\r\nF10\t- Cut power.<\/pre>\n
\n
SUPER HUEY (3)<\/strong><\/p>\n
ONBOARD COMPUTER COMMANDS.\r\nYou must type at least the first three letters and then press RETURN.\r\nABORT\t-Quit current mission.\r\nAUTO\t-Set automatic course correction. When prompted enter\r\n\t heading.\r\nCLIMATE\t-Displays climatic readings including temperature, humidity etc.\r\nDISTANCE-Displays line-of-sight distance from take-off point.\r\nHOMING\t-Drop a homing device that transmits data to navigational\r\n\t computer\r\nMISSION\t-Select new mission (see getting started for selection).\r\nPOWER\t-Turn on power.\r\nSEND\t-Send co-ordinates when landing or during emergency.\r\nVOR\t-Activate VHF range reception for navigation.\r\nVSI\t-Display digital vertical speed reading.\r\nXXX\t-Cancel previous command input.\r\n\r\nSTANDARD TAKE-OFF AND LANDING PROCEDURE.\r\nFollow the instructions for a sample flight. Press F7 and type MISSION.\r\n1) Type POW to turn on power and press F8 to start engine. Wait for engine\r\ntemperatures to reach middle range and then increase throttle to 1200 RPM.\r\n2) Engage rotor clutch (F9) and wait for rotor RPM to stabilise at about a\r\ntenth of engine RPM. Increase throttle to build RPM to take-off speed\r\n(3500-3600 engine, 350-360 rotor RPM). Make sure collective pitch is\r\nfully down before increasing throttle.\r\n3) Increase pitch (collective down) as lift is attained - watch for wind\r\ndrift and instability. Use cyclic diagonals to control position and heading.\r\nControl pitch until you reach a steady hover at 90-100 feet.\r\n4) Select heading with rudder controls (cyclic diagonals) and then forward\r\nto build up some airspeed. Practice switching between the two control modes\r\nto attain steady flight but make adjustments small and controllable.\r\n5) Bring airspeed to between 70 and 90 knots and climb to at least 300 feet\r\n(the minimum height from which you can try an emergency autorotative\r\nlanding in the event of engine failure).Adjust collective to achieve straight<\/pre>\n
\n
SUPER HUEY (4)<\/strong><\/p>\n
and level flight. Try maintaining straight course with both cyclic and\r\ncollective control. Watch magnetic compass for heading.\r\n6) To return to base bank a full 180 degree turn and when you get close to\r\nthe base begin descent by reducing collective (BACK) while maintaining\r\nairspeed with cyclic. When ground proximity reads 100ft slowly increase\r\ncollective pitch to reduce descent. Also decrease throttle. At 20-25 feet\r\nbring the ship to zero airspeed and hover then gradually decrease lift with\r\nthe collective to lower the helicopter to the ground. Just before touchdown\r\nadd some lift to cushion your landing.\r\n7) When on the ground immediately DECREASE PITCH TO FULL LOW\r\nand press F10 to cut the engine.\r\n\r\nAUTOROTATIVE LANDING.\r\nAn emergency landing is possible without power from above 300ft. To\r\nattempt a landing try to keep rotor RPM through forward or vertical\r\nmovement through the air. To control descent try to gain a high forward\r\nspeed, while reducing drug by reducing collective pitch, yet keep enough lift\r\nto check the rate of descent. Near the ground, a full flare manoeuvre with\r\nback cyclic combined with a quick and substantial collective pitch increase\r\nshould cut vertical speed enough for a reasonably soft landing.\r\n\r\nMISSIONS.\r\n1) Flight instruction - The onboard computer leads you through a flight.\r\n2) Explore - Map the area around the base. Hint - organise your sweep in\r\nsections.\r\n3) Rescue - Military personnel are lost or incapacitated. Find them through\r\ntheir homing deacon and bring them back (Your helicopter can hold four).\r\nThe beacon will only provide you with a general heading it's up to you to\r\nestablish a search pattern.\r\n4) Combat - Your desert base is under attack. Recon the area and engage if\r\npossible. You need to kill 32 bandits so use your rockets and machine guns\r\nwell. Don't forget to load and arm rockets in the bays with F1-F4.<\/pre>\n

DESCRIPTION\r\nStarGlider is a futuristic tactical arcade challenge in which you stand alone\r\nagainst an entire invasion force. You are Jaysan and you control Novenia's\r\nlast free craft, a small laser armed Airborne Ground Attack Vehicle. Your\r\nhome planet has been conquered by the Egron empire lead by Fleet\r\nCommander Hermann Krudd in his StarGlider One.\r\nThe Egron's had tried to conquer Novenia before but had failed because of\r\nthe giant Sentinel robot craft that ring the planet and protect it's inhabitants.\r\nUnfortunately, Krudd was no ordinary Egron and had built his invasion fleet\r\nin the shape of the giant StarGlider birds and had sneaked past the\r\ndefences and was now destroying everything in his path.\r\nOn Novenia's small moon Jaysan stood helpless and watced the\r\ndestruction but eventually found an old museum piece, an AGAV, and\r\nrushed into battle. A battle of revenge.\r\nNovenia is now a hostile planet and you should blast almost anything that\r\nmoves with only a few excepyions. In the midst of the debris you will find\r\nslow revolving blue silos that you can dock with for much needed repairs\r\nand refuelling. Skill pilots may also refuel by skimming the energy flowing\r\nbetween energy towers (the screen will turn red when the\r\nenergy scoops are active). You are outgunned and outnumbered but you're\r\nthe only chance you've got.\r\n\r\nSCREEN DISPLAY\r\nThe screen display shows the view out of the windscreen of your Airborne\r\nGround Attack Vehicle as well as the following instruments.\r\nAbove the main display - Heading (N,S,E and W) or direction of travel.\r\nBelow the main display (Centre) - Local Area Scanner that plots the position\r\nof each building and vehicle.

\nOVERLANDER<\/strong><\/p>\n
DESCRIPTION.\r\nThe year is 2025. The soil is dry and scorched. The Earth was ruined when\r\nthe ozone layer collapsed at the end of the 20th Century. The scientists\r\ntried to warn people but nothing was done. Now the people have retreated\r\nto the safety of underground cities, away from the harmful effects of\r\nultraviolet radiation.\r\nToday the only link between between the underground cities is the old network\r\nof surface freeways which are now ruled by anarchic gangs of outcasts\r\nknown as the surface dwellers. The only people daring enough to make the\r\ntrips these days are the Overlanders. Overlanders are a breed apart whose\r\nonly passion in life are their customised cars. They risk their lives for\r\nmoney because money means a faster, more powerful car.\r\nGAMEPLAY.\r\nAs an Overlander you must run the gauntlet of the surface roads to deliver\r\ncargo to earn the money to build a bigger and better car.

DESCRIPTION.\r\nAfter all the tests, the training and the dummy runs on the ice planet\r\nCharon, you're at last a StarRay pilot and you're ready for your first\r\nmission. This will take you to the planet Gorbaxa where the used Kryptium\r\n(energy cells for the Star Cruisers) is stored. The cells are priceless and\r\ndangerous and need a 24hr guard. If you survive that your next stop will be\r\nthe holidae planet of Siron. It's a holiday planet but dense impenetrable\r\njungle is growing at such an alarming rate that it could grow over the high\r\nspeed rail tracks within hours. Here, your mission will be to protect the\r\nforest exterminator robots against the viscous wildlife. Next the ozone\r\nlayer on Sarlon needs protecting and...\r\n\r\nGAMEPLAY.\r\nWhatever the mission you will have to protect the ground based\r\ninstallations against alien attack. When these have been destroyed the game\r\nis over. The most common aliens are the Landers that not only fly and shoot\r\nat you but also land on the installations and convert them. For example, on\r\nSiron they turn the exterminator robots into gun emplacements which you\r\nmust also destroy.\r\nSome Landers leave bonus balls when they are shot which can be\r\ncollected to enhance your ship. These are identified by a letter and\r\ninclude improved acceleration (A), increased maximum speed (V), more rapid\r\nfire (T), greater firepower (P), continuous fire for 100 shots (C),\r\ninvulnerability for 10 seconds (I), and bonus points (B).\r\n\r\nCONTROLS.\r\nStarRay is controlled through the joystick or keyboard.\r\nKeyboard Controls - Cursor movement. ALT - Fire. CAPS LOCK -\r\nVapourisers.\r\nF2 - Music on\/off.\r\nF3 - Sound Effects on\/off.\r\nF4 - Toggles between 60 HZ and 50 HZ. If your picture is unstable press F4.<\/pre>\n
