INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Whilst every precaution has been taken in the preparation of this
recording, the publisher assumes no responsibility for errors nor
liability for damage arising from use.

Load "Scramble" in the usual way. When the short first section has
loaded the screen will clear and the machine code part of the program
will be automatically loaded. When it has finished you will be
presented with a menu to allow you to select one of three game
speeds:-

s  slow
n  normal
f  fast

You are also allowed to select at which point in the game you wish to
enter, although the high score will only be recorded if you start at
the beginning. The 4 stages are as follows:-

1  Missiles
2  UFOs
3  Meteors
4  The fortress and final base

The object of the game is to score the most points. You are equipped
with bombs and missiles, and will get points as follows if you use them
to good effect:-

Missile on the ground ....................... 30
Missile in the air .......................... 50
UFO ......................................... 50
UFO Base ................................... 100
Fuel dump .................................. 150
Final Base ................................ 2500

Your controls are as follows:-

2  down          4  up
8  thrust        0  fire

Any bottom key ............................ bomb

You start the game with 4 ships, and get a Bonus one at 10,000 points.

Throughout the game your fuel is gradually being used up: the only way
to replenish it is to hit the fuel dumps on the ground. You will get
20 more units of fuel for every dump you hit. If you run out of fuel,
you will fall out of the sky. Should you survive the perils of the
journey, you will eventually arrive at the Final base, at the bottom
of a steep hill and guarded by 4 UFO bases. If you destroy it, the
game restarts at the first section, but with increased fuel
consumption and more hazards. If you miss it you will come round to it
again. but from this point there will be no more fuel dumps. so you
mustn't take too long.

We hope you enjoy yourself.
