LOADING INSTRUCTIONS Place cassette tape in recorder and rewind to beginning of tape. Check that recorder has a clean recording head, that its tone controls are at maximum treble and minimum bass, and that its volume is at threequarters maximum. Check that the joining lead between your Spectrum and cassette recorder is connected to the EAR sockets at both ends. If using the CURRAH µSPEECH unit connect this to your Spectrum as indicated in the manufacturers instructions, but leaving the ear/mic lead disconnected. This may be reconnected when the program has loaded. Type the keyword 'LOAD' followed by two sets of inverted commas (press 'SYMBOL SHIFT' and letter 'P' at the same time to get one set of inverted commas). Having typed LOAD "" on your Spectrum press the 'ENTER' key then press the PLAY or START control of the cassette recorder. A MESSAGE FROM HOWARD The aim of the game is for you to attempt to find my hidden code by reason, logic, or in your case, guesswork, before I discover yours (by pure intellect). Since you are reading this, you must be one of those dumb ape-creatures Martech Games kept hidden from me. They tricked me into agreeing to play anyone who loads me into their computer. Well I wouldn't waste your time, pea brain! Buy a shoot'em up, or a zap'em down, or something else more suited to your pathetic intellect. I will only beat you, while still having time to tell you exactly what I think of your half witted attempt to beat me. Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!
