SirFred

The Princess is imprisoned in any of seven rooms and whilst you can see her, you will have to solve the whole adventure to rescue her. Each time you start the game, the Computer selects one of 58 game patterns. You have to discover the right way to solve the adventure according to the way the objects are distributed on screen. Upon loading you will see a menu screen on which are several options. If you are using the keyboard the controls are: Q - Up, A - Down, O - Left, P -Right, Z - Select, M - Use. Selecting the joystick option you still have to use a key for SELECT. To USE an object, press the fire button. If you wish to define your own keys, you select option 3, and need to define six keys: up, down, left, right, select and use. To pause the game press Break-Space. Press again to restart. To abort the game press Caps Shift and 1 together. The first four keys are self explanatory. Sir Fred is able to pick up objects as he travels around, to a maximum of four. To obtain them you must move over the object and press the select key. The item you were carrying will be exchanged. Once collected these objects are shown on the bottom right of the screen and the select key then moves either a yellow or red box over each item. When you have chosen your object you can operate the use key to use that item. Some objects may be used only once, some nine times and others may only be used in certain places. Certain objects can be used as many times as you wish. Movements of Sir Fred Sir Fred's movements are made to be as near lifelike as possible. He has inertia, which means that if he runs too fast he may fall down stairs or run into a wall. His power will reduce each time this happens. By pressing the down key when he is running, Sir Fred will duck, and the up key will make him jump when running. If he ducks at the same time, he'll jump much higher. Again, if he falls from a height he will lose power according to the height he falls from. To catch a rope Sir Fred must jump towards it, and the up and down keys move him up and down the rope. To swing on a rope you must press the left and right keys to move to the opposite side of the rope to increase the swing. To leave the rope, press either of the keys twice.
