Upon loading, you will be asked whether to load world records. If you choose YES, insert your RECORDS disk, follow the prompts to load the records and finally, replace the Winter Olympiad disk in the drive. If you choose NO, leave the disk in the drive and continue.

1. You will then be prompted to select the number of players (from 1-6)

2. After doing so, you must enter each player's name, pressing RETURN after each. Select the countries you wish to represent by moving the joystick and pressing FIRE to select. When finished, you will be asked if the information is correct. Selecting NO will allow you to repeat the above steps (1 and 2) until the correct information is obtained. Choosing YES will allow you to continue on to step 3.

3. Selecting the events. When prompted, answer YES if you wish to compete in all events, or NO if you wish to compete in individual events, upon which you will be requested to select the event(s) you wish to compete in.

The opening ceremonies will then begin and the games will be declared open.

THE EVENTS :

DOWNHILL

Press FIRE to commence the descent down the steep alpine run. Left and right on the joystick guides the skier left and right through the trees. UP accelerates, DOWN decelerates. Press FIRE to jump.

SKI-JUMP

Press FIRE to start the Ski Jumper's descent. On approaching the end of the run, press FIRE to launch the skier into the air. Whilst in the air, use the joystick to correctly land the skier.

Joystick right	- Lean skier forwards
Joystick left	- Lean skier backwards
Joystick down	- Crouch skier and corrects the skis
Joystick up	- Return skier to correct posture.

Points are awarded for distance and style. Style is calculated on the time the skier has been in the optimum position before a successful landing.

BIATHLON

Press FIRE to start. To propel the skier, move the joystick left and right in a gentle rhythm to build up his speed. On reaching the shooting range, take control of the gunsight with the joystick. Move the sight over each of the five targets and press FIRE to shoot. The weight of gun, plus the adrenalin pumping around the athlete's body after a hard slog in the cold makes controlling that sight a little tricky. A five second penalty is incurred for each target missed.

SLALOM

Press FIRE to start. Weave the skier through the gates with the Red Gates to the right and the Green Gates to left. To straighten the skier after a turn, press FIRE. FIRE is also used to push the skier's sticks for that extra speed over the finish line. A 5 second penalty is employed for each gate missed.

BOB SLED

To start the bob on its descent, waggle the joystick quickly left and right. This starts the driver and Brake Man running down the track pushing the bob. FIRE will allow them to jump in or at the end of their allowed run in, they will automatically get into the bob. FIRE is also the brake to slow the bob down for cornering, making it a safe trip, but probably not a gold.

On completion of your chosen events, a final Medal Table will be displayed, followed by a Record Table. The Record Table is the current World Records achieved by the players and may be saved to disk by answering YES at the Save Record prompt.They may be saved to a formatted blank disk, NOT on the Winter Olympiad '88 disk.
