An action game for the 16K Spectrum by PROSM Software,
featuring colour graphics and challenging gameplay
spread over fifteen unique screens.

        INSTRUCTIONS

Rewind the tape if necessary, and then connect your
tape recorder to the computer as described in the
Spectrum manual. Turn the computer on and type LOAD""
(using J, and then symbol shift together with P
twice). Press ENTER and then start the tape recorder.
The program takes around two minutes to load fully.

Once the program has finished loading, you will be
presented with a menu screen, allowing you to select
your preferred control scheme (keyboard, Interface II
or Kempston). If you are playing with the keyboard,
the keys are as follows:

    Q - Up                 A - Down
	O - Left               P - Right

You can also select whether to play the main game or
to play in free-draw mode.

        THE GAME

You control the tracer, who must trace from the left
hand side of the screen to the right, without
deviating from the coloured path or hitting any baddies
along the way.

The tracer has momentum, so when you press a directional
key (or move your joystick), the tracer will pick up speed
in that direction. To slow down again, you must use the
controls to accelerate in the opposite direction.

A point is scored for each grid square you cover (apart from
the starting square).

The obstacles you will meet along the way include:

     ICE - You lose control over the tracer when on the
	       ice, so you must line yourself up correctly first!
 
   PACER - Walks from side to side at a constant speed.
           One touch will kill your tracer instantly.

 CRAWLER - Crawls up and down the screen, except when you're
           in their line of vision, in which case they go
		   absolutely nuts!

 FLOATER - Arguably the most dangerous. Floats around the
           screen, bouncing off of the edges.

If you manage to complete a screen, you will be awarded bonus
points for how much time is remaining at the end.

        FREE DRAW

Free-draw is a mode separate from the main game, and is meant
as a relaxing diversion. You can draw on the screen using the
same controls as in the main game, and you can return at any
time to the options menu. For new players, it may also be
helpful for getting used to the controls.
