ABOUT THIS TAPE - 



PIRATE is a two part adventure (mainly for young people), featuring

full colour graphics, animation and sound.

You are the captain of a Pirate ship.  You steer your ship through the

maze of reefs and islands, using the red function keys to enter your 

instructions.

Your task in Part 1 - 

To win 300 jewels, by battling with other ships and finding treasure

on the scattered islands.  You must also solve enough of the mysteries

that come your way to let you move on to part 2.



TO PLAY - Use the keys shown in the box below.



You gain points - If you find the treasure, the secret objects and the

                  password.

You lose -        If you run out of food and water, are shipwrecked

                  your crew makes you walk the plank, or .....

Repairs -         If your ship is damaged in a storm or battle, you

                  must find a safe harbour for repairs.  Harbours are

                  on the mainland, but beware of the rocky coastline.

To SAVE -         If at any time during part 1, you want to stop

                  playing, you can SAVE your adventure on a 

                  BLANK tape and LOAD it in later.

                  Press 'M' when asked which direction, to get to

                  the menu, if you want to stop playing, or start

                  again, or SAVE your present position.

When you have successfully completed part 1 of the adventure, the

computer will let you go on to part 2.



You may find it helpful to draw a map of your moves, the islands,

and mainland, but remember that the computer chooses your starting

position, and it will be different every time you play.  Write down the 

objects you find, and the secret password, which is your key to part

2 of the adventure.



INSTRUCTIONS are on the first program if you need them.
