Instructions Sheet: =================== World Cup Carnival is an authentic simulation of the Mexico 1986 World Cup including practicing playing skills and a league table of results. Please read these instructions carefully before loading and playing the game. Loading Instructions: (Commodore 64/128) ---------------------------------------- Cassette - Press shift and RUN/STOP keys together and then press PLAY on the cassette player. Disk - Type LOAD "*",8,1 and then press RETURN. The program will load and run automatically. Once the game has loaded, after pressing the SPACE bar, you will be asked to select Practice Mode (Key 1) or Tournament (Key 2). Game Controls ------------- Player 1 Player 2 Joystick (port 1) Joystick (port 2) Keyboard (as shown on screen) Keyboard (as shown on screen) The Fire key or button allows you to shoot, pass, change player or control the goalkeeper. Practice Mode ------------- Allows you to increase your skills in ball control and penalty saving and taking. You must use the joystick in port 1 for this section. Ball Control ------------ Movement of the player is controlled by the joystick. If you are correctly positioned pressing the fire button with joystick direction up kicks the ball into the air with the player's left toe or knee. Similarly pressing the Fire button with joystick down activates the right foot or knee. If the ball is at the correct height pressing the Fire button with no direction selected enables the player to head the ball. The current score and best score is indicated on screen. The ball may bounce on the ground but if it is permitted to come to rest the current score is reset. Press "Q" to return to practice menu. Penalties --------- You may choose to attack or defend the goal. Six balls are taken with the number of balls kicked, goals and saves indicated on screen along with the kick strength. Taking Penalties ---------------- Move the joystick rapidly from side to side to maximise kick strength. During the last moments of your approach to the ball select the ball direction with the joystick. A low kick strength results in a slow moving ball which lifts into the air. The greater the kick the straighter and truer the ball moves. Saving penalties ---------------- Select the direction in which you wish to dive using the joystick and time the dive with the Fire button. Alternatively you may simply stand your ground. Mexico '86 World Cup -------------------- You will be asked to select the number of players up to 8. Each player can choose a team and country from 10 teams. The logic of the game allows you to run and pass the ball just like the real game. In general you will control the player nearest the ball. This player is indicated by a change in the colour of his shirt. If you wish to change control to another player press the Fire button and control will pass to the player nearest to the ball. Player shirt colours are as authentic as possible with cyan used as a compromise for green shirted teams. If your two teams have the same shirts then the second team assumes an all black strip. The goalkeeper can dive to save a goal by pressing the Fire button. He will automatically dive in the direction of the ball under computer control. In addition the music may be turned ON/OFF by pressing F3/F1. The game may be paused by pressing F5 and restarted with F7. The progress of the tournament is tabulated at the end of each game. If you leave the computer unattended it will automatically default to a demonstration mode which may be interrupted by pressing the SPACE bar which returns you to the Title Screen. Loading Instructions: (Commodore C16) ------------------------------------- Please note that the game is loaded in two separate parts. SIDE ONE: Play World Cup Mexico '86 SIDE TWO: Penalty Practice + Ball Control World Cup Mexico 1986: Side One ------------------------------- Loading ------- Type LOAD and press RETURN and then press PLAY on the cassette player. The screen will go blank, until the title page is displayed and then you will be instructed to press the SPACE bar. Playing the Game ---------------- On loading you will be given the option of 1 or 2 players, as A or B. Eight teams are displayed and the player(s) choose their team(s). The teams are then sorted into rounds. If there are two players then they will play each other in the first round. Press the SPACE bar to get the score for the computer-controlled matches. At the end of the World Cup winner is shown before returning to the menu. When you enter the playing mode the players will run out of the tunnel with yellow jerseys for Player 1 and blue jerseys for Player 2 regardless of countries represented. The Game controls are as follows: Player 1: z - left x - right ; - up / - down space - shoot or pass ball Joystick port 1 with Fire button as pass or shoot. Player 2: Joystick in port 2. The logic of the game allows you to run and pass the ball just like the real game.

When loaded you will be given the option: 1) Penalty Practice 2) Ball Control Press the key number to choose the option. Penalty Taking -------------- You will have 3 attempts at scoring a penalty. Toggle keys z and x (or joystick left and right) to run. The faster you toggle the more power you have in the shot. Just before the ball is released press SPACE (or Fire button) to kick the ball. At this point, the direction in which the ball is aimed is determined by pressing the z key for left or x key for right (or joystick left and right). The trajectory of the ball depends upon the direction kicked and the speed of the player as he kicks. Ball Control ------------ A clock count down 6 computer minutes (real time about 30 seconds) during which time you must zig zag around bollards. You are able to run faster if you are not dribbling the ball i.e. if you kick the ball in front of you move faster. The controls in this section are as follows: z - left x - right ; - up / - down SPACE - kick Usual joystick movements plus fire for kick. If you run into a bollard you will stop dead. If you run the wrong side of a bollard you will be disqualified. When your time runs out you will be informed how many times you have run up and down the course.

When he has reached the ball, press fire and the angle at which the ball will be kicked will increase until the button is released. Moving the joystick whilst the button is pressed will aim the cursor at the part of the goal that the ball will be kicked (fig 2). {See Fig 2 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF} Once the ball has been kicked the goalie will automatically try to save it (and usually does) if you score then a point will be added to your score. A message will be displayed at the right of the Billboards after you've kicked the ball. These are 'you missed the ball', 'over' 'saved' or 'GOAL!!!!' No message is displayed if your shot doesn't even reach the goal. {See Fig 3 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF} Saving Penalties ---------------- Basically the same as taking penalties except the computer kicks and you try to save them. Once the computer has kicked the ball you may move the goalie in one of eight saves. Not moving the joystick (move 8) the goalie stays on the spot and does not move. {See Fig 4 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF} It is possible to save any conceivable shot. 'Goal', 'saved' etc. printed as in taking penalties. Once you dive, you cannot change direction. After six shots at goal have been taken, in both taking and saving penalties, the score will flash.
