RETURN TO EDEN


This adventure game is for 64K MSX micros (actually, Level 9's text
adventures only need 32K). To load and start, type the following and
press RETURN:

   RUN "CAS:"

Then play the cassette in your recorder to load the game (there is a
copy on each side of the tape). The adventure starts automatically.


PLAYING THE GAME

The adventure asks "What now?" (or something similar) whenever it
expects you to type another command. Simply type a short English
phrase to tell it what you want to do next and press RETURN. The
program will carry out your request and tell you if anything
significant happens, then ask for the next command and so on..

If the game doesn't understand what you mean, try and rephrase the
command, using different words, and this may work better. Use
capital letters.

Here are some useful words. Not every on of these works in every
adventure, but it's worth trying them:

TAKE, GET, WEAR, DROP, the 8 compass directions, IN, UP, DOWN,
CLIMB, LOOK AT, EXAMINE, FILL, OPEN, CLOSE, LIGHT, SCORE,
INVENTORY (lists everything carried), AGAIN, SCORE, QUIT, SAVE and
RESTORE (see below for details of these last two).

Many words can be abbreviated, e.g. NORTH to N and NORTHEAST to NE.


SAVING THE POSITION

To save the state of play to tape, type SAVE and press RETURN. Start
a blanj cassette on RECORD and press RETURN again to start the
position saving. This takes a few seconds. When the program asks you
"What next?", stop the tape. It may be a good idea to us SAVE before
trying anything dangerous.

To restore a save position, you must be playing the game. Type
RESTORE and press RETURN. Some adventures ask you if you're sure: if
so, type YES and press RETURN. Rewind the cassette on which the
position was saved, and start it on PLAY: the data will load in the
same way as a normal MSX program. Then carry on playing from the
saved position.

To stop a SAVE or RESTORE, hold down CTRL and press STOP.


LOADING ADVICE

We test cassettes thoroughly and few people should have any 
difficulties in loading our games. If you do have any problems, 
however, the following may help:

1.  Try the other side of the cassette.
2.  Load a program of your own to test that the recorder is 
    connected.
3.  Vary the volume and tone settings (using fairly load and fairly
    high).
4.  Clean and demagnetise the recorder, following the maker's
    instructions.
5.  Some recorders don't work well with some computers. Could you
    use another type?
6.  You may really have a bad cassette. As a last resort, return it
    under guarantee to get a replacement (just return the cassette,
    it costs more in postage if you return the box as well).



NOTES FOR MSX OWNERS

If the program stops mysteriously, this is because it is trying to
print more text than will fit on the screen and has stopped to let
you read the first part. Press RETURN and it will continue.

Try the following commands:
WORDS .......... Just display text
PICTURES ....... Turn pictures on
