1 'Sex Vixens From Space' 2 An Interactive graphics/text adventure 3 from Free Spirit Software 4 Copyright c 1988 Free Spirit Software 5 all rights reserved worldwide. 6 You are Captain Brad Stallion, owner and operator of the 7 one-man space vehicle know throughout the galaxy as 8 The 'Big Thruster'. 9 Getting Started: Hardware requirements for this game 10 are as follows: Amiga 500/1000/2000 with at least 512K 11 memory. Only one Floppy Drive is required. 12 To start the game, boot your computer in the normal 13 manner. When prompted for the Workbench disk, insert 14 the disk marked 'Disk 1' in the internal disk drive. 15 If you have a second drive, insert the disk marked 'Disk 2' 16 into it. After a few seconds, you will be prompted to enter 17 a phrase from this manual. Enter the phrase, punctuation NOT 18 included, then press the return key. 19 Game controls: You are Brad Stallion, you see through his eyes 20 and you manipulate objects with his hands (the pointer). 21 The lower one fourth of the screen display is your 'console', 22 you have a text display area and game controls. The text 23 display area will display a 'What Now' prompt when there is 24 no text to display. You clear, or 'activate' the console by 25 clicking (pressing down) the left mouse button. The pointer 26 is also used to manipulate objects in a scene. This may 27 include touching someone, turning on controls opening doors, 28 etc. But be careful, some things may not be safe to touch! 29 Additionally, the pointer is used to tell you of certain game 30 conditions. If there is more text for you to read than can 31 be displayed in the text area, the pointer will become the 32 word 'TEXT'. When this happens, no other game controls are 33 active. Clicking the left mouse button will then display the 34 next section of text. The pointer will also tell you to 'WAIT' 35 during any disk activity. And finally, the pointer will on 36 some occasions actually turn into what ever is in your right 37 hand! 38 Other game controls: To the right of the text display area 39 is a four point compass rose, up-down gadgets, and three 40 buttons, labeled 'I' for Inventory, 'L' for Location and 41 'S' for game status. The compass rose and up-down gadgets 42 may be used to move about the various locations you will 43 visit. Clicking on the 'I'nventory button will show you a 44 list of all objects you currently have on you. 45 NOTE: The objects will usually be in your pocket. To do 46 anything with them, you first have to get them from your 47 pocket! Clicking on the 'L'ocation button will display the 48 text associated with a scene. Clicking on the 'S'tatus Page 1 49 button will get you a status report from Sandie, your Ship's 50 Computer. ('Sandie' stands for "Ships Automated Navigation 51 Data and Information Entity"). Sandie is your best friend and 52 companion, totally dedicated to your well being. She will 53 help you, offer advice on occasion and sometimes act as your 54 conscience. But be careful! Sandie has been in space a LONG 55 time. Thanks to the wonders of futuristic electronics, Sandie 56 is always with you through a tele-link, even when you are off 57 the ship. 58 The 'What Now' prompt: This is your keyboard entry method. 59 All game commands have a keyboard equivalent. Typing 'n' or 60 'N' or 'North' is the same as clicking on the upward arrow of 61 the compass rose. You get the 'What Now' prompt by pressing 63 the left mouse button with the pointer over the text display 64 area, or by pressing the ape, urn or 65 keys. The 'What Now' prompt must be displayed before any 66 keyboard commands can be given. To execute a command, type 67 in the command, such as 'stat' or 'status' for a 68 Status report, then press return. If an illegal command is 69 given, the text area will display 'Can't'. 70 NOTE: Every scene has its own group of legal commands. What 71 may be illegal in one scene may be a required command in 72 another. 73 The Game Options Menu: Directly above the Text Display area 74 is the Game Options Menu. Pressing the right mouse button 75 will show this menu. Continue to hold the right button down 76 then move the pointer over the desired selection and release 77 the button. Two options are available at all times, unless 78 the pointer indicates 'WAIT' or 'TEXT'. 79 Remember Brad, it is a dangerous world you inhabit, but your 80 animal cunning and sexual prowess can see you through as it 81 always has before!
