CONTROLS





Keyboard - redefinable





Joystick - most types of interface

last defined keyboard controls may be used at any time during play, even if


joystick has been selected.





PLAYING





Pit your skills and agility against the computer and the clock - in order


to progress to the next event you must qualify (ie achieve game - scoring


hints are as follows and we would be interested to hear from any player


with high marks (100,000 and up is good).





SWIMMING





Wait for the starting gun - racing dive into the pool (by pressing the


fire button). Your swimming speed is determined by continous left/right


controls, but remember in order to swim you must breath so wait for the


button. If you breathe at the wrong time you'll swallow water and if you


forget to breathe you'll gradually slow and stop.





Your opponents have different swimming skills and are controlled by the


computer if you can beat them all you're on the way to becoming a true


champion.





SKEET SHOOTING





Computer controlled sights home in on the skeet and marksmanship depends on


fast reaction on the left/right controls. Good shooting gives bonus skeets


with higher points but as your shooting improves the rate hots up! Good


shooting.





LONG HORSE





Now test your abilit as a gymnast - press the fire button to run the


springboard, then again when you're on it - Now when you reach the hand


stand position press it again to launch into the Somersaults (these are


controlled by the left/right movemement). The total score is made up of the


distance you get up the springboard, the length of time on the horse, the


number of Spins you can achieve and the perfection of your landing. Like


the real event you must perform well right through for maximum marks!





ARCHERY





The target moves accross your field of vision and you must judge wind speed


and the angle of your shot to hit bullseye. First press the fire button to


wind speed/direction, then press fire again to shoot one of your eight


arrows at the passing target. (Keeping the fire button pressed indicates


the height of the arrow. Hint:- try to get as close to a 5º angle as


possible.





TRIPLE JUMP





Co-ordination is the key to success in this event, use left/right controls


to gain the maximum approach speed - and press the fire button as close to


the take off line as possible. For each part of the jump keep the fire


button pressed to increase the angle of the trajectory and release as close


to 45º as possible. Your score is a combination of the correct speed, angle


and distance.





WEIGHT LIFTING





Now for the final test - a test of strength and stamina. Select the weight,


type and then use the LEFT/RIGHT controls to increase the weight lifter's


power. Press the fire button when STRONGMAN flashes to give the


"Powerlift". Continue with power until all three judges acknowledge the


feat. Your points score is based on weight.





Congratulations you've completed all the events now check your score and


see if you can do better next time - Good luck.
