GARRISON

INSTRUCTIONS

Please insert disc into drive DF0: when the workbench is requested and switch off external drives. After a short time you will be asked to insert the second disc.

A short time later the title screen appears. This may be aborted by pressing SPACE. In case that no key is pressed several playing figures, rivals and the objects which have to be collected are shown after the title screen.

After having pressed SPACE you enter the CHARACTER-SELECTION picture. Here you can choose the characters you want to play with. All figures have several different qualities, but we will not betray which advantages and disadvantages belong to each figure.

You can activate these figures by pressing the function keys F1-F5 or F6-F10, and if you want to you can deactivate them pressing the same key.

Now the game can begin!

Before each single level you are asked with which figures you want to play with. Two players may play simultaneously and up to five persons can participate in this game. Therefore one player can choose his figures with F1-F5 and another player with F6-F10.

In this way different people can finish in varied combinations a level. Skillful teamwork may become vitally necessary in the higher levels, and therefore you should not waste any time in mutual bombarding!

During the game you may choose additional figures. But it is only possible to dial each figure once in a level.

If your Amiga possesses 512Kb RAM all figures have the same appearance but have their typical qualities. With extended memory all figures have an individual appearance.

All figures are controlled with the joystick:

Player 1: port 2
Player 2: port 1

The figure follows the moves of the joystick and pressing fire shoots in the according direction.

The player has naturally only one life, the HEALTH is indicated on the right side near the SCORES for every player. Contacts and hits lead to a deterioration of your health, but do not forget other objects which could have the same effect.

The indication SHMAF shows all abilities of each figure. Letters have the following meanings:

S - SPEED of the characters

H - HAND-HAND COMBAT - This stands for the ability hindering a rival in a further participation in the game

M - Magic power (MAGIC). This power raises the effect of a SCROLL. A SCROLL is an object you have to collect and which eliminates every other rival on the screen. You can activate a SCROLL either with L SHIFT (player 1) or R SHIFT (player 2). And because magic power requires concentration the player cannot move.

A - ARMOUR. The stronger the armour the lower are the losses of your health touching a rival.

F - FIREPOWER                                                       

You can break off the game with ESC. By pressing SPACE you can stop the game up to another pressure on this key.

But unfortunately the effect of the lot of various figures you may meet in the legendary castle is up to now totally unknown. Some scanty tips may be caught after the title screen.

In the higher levels you will recognize the increasing amount of rivals. They become stronger and some of them should be immune against SCROLLS. And these appear out of the spring of ghosts. This game contains 128 levels which will be arranged by chance after the fourth level.

After having finished gloriously a level you can write your name into the HIGH SCORE table. You have to use the keyboard and finish with RETURN.
 
There are separate high score tables for each character and a team list for the general performances of all players.
