Start A New Game


LOADING EOS - Insert your game disk in drive 1, and turn on
the computer.  In a few moments, the title screen appears,
followed shortly by a menu that asks whether your screen is
in color or b/w.  Type the letter C for color, or B for b/w.
A second, similar menu asks if you are starting a new game
or resuming an old (saved) game.  Press Return or the first
joystick button to select New Game.  At the prompt, insert
the Archive Disk, then press Return.  The Archive disk
contains program information for starting a new game.

MAKE A MISSION DISK - Each new game requires a new Mission
Disk, where you'll store your game as it progresses.  Select
MAKE M DISK, and press return.  A prompt asks you to put a
blank disk (formatted or not) in drive 1, and press Return.
If you have one drive, it takes about nine disk swaps to
copy the disk.  If you have two drives, put the new disk in
drive 1, and the Mission Disk in drive 2, then press Return
again.  When the copy is completed, put the original Mission
Disk in a safe place:  you'll need it again whenever you
start a New Game.

LOADING A NEW GAME - After you've made a new Mission Disk,
you're ready to start the game.  At the prompt, insert the
Archive Disk in any drive.  The onscreen menu offers you a
choice of seven missions.  If this is your first encounter
with EOS, we suggest you begin with the "Research" mission.
Select RESEARCH, and press Return.  The game begins
automatically.

LOADING AN EXISTING GAME - Follow the Loading EOS
instructions above, but select OLD GAME.  At the prompt,
insert the Mission Disk for the game you want to play, and
press Return.  The game loads automatically.

Note:  EOS WILL NOT RUN ON THE APPLE IIGS.


Moving Around

You can control the EOS menus with a joystick, or from the
keyboard.  Both options are available at all times during
the game.  you may move the cursor to any part of the screen
at any time during the game.

JOYSTICK CONTROL - Use the joystick to move the cursor
right, left, up or down.  Menu items are highlighted as you
move over them.  Press either the joystick button to select
a highlighted command or module.

KEYBOARD CONTROL - Use the cursor arrows to move up or down
through the menus.  Press the Space Bar to move between the
Tools, Goodies, and View menus, the Station Widow, and the
Command Window.

Highlight Up or Down on the menu to raise or lower the
amounts of prices, payments, or other monetary figures.  To
change these values slowly, hold down Return or the first
joystick button.  If you want to change them faster, hold
down the G key or the second joystick button (NOTE: To use
the G command, you MUST have the Cap Lock key depressed)

If you have more than 24 space stations, are using the
keyboard, and are viewing the CHOOSE A STATION window, press
the Space Bar once to see the stations on the bottom row of
the screen.  Use the right and left cursor arrow keys to
select the station you want to work with.


Leaving EOS


If you'd like to continue with the current game at a later
time, select SAVE from the Goodies menu, and follow the
prompts.  (You can only save one game on each Mission Disk.)
To leave the program, simply turn off your computer.
