FRIDAY THE 13th

INTRODUCTION


The Background.
A quiet holiday camp at Crystal Lake is disturbed when one of the
campers, Jason, is drowned. His mother, distraught with grief, blames
the other campers who did nothing to help him. She vows revenge and 
murders all the holiday makers except one girl who kills her. The
survivor floats into the middle of the lake where Jason rises from the
water, to take his revenge.

The Game.
Jason is still wreaking havoc throughout Crystal Lake when you arrive 
for a holiday. Your task is to find a safe sanctuary where Jason 
cannot go and then persuade your friends to gather there.

The Problem
You have to identify Jason! He is a normal player moving around the
game until he attacks or is attacked. You are warned about each attack
and have a chance to find him, but Jason waits for no man.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
See cassette label for details. If the cassette fails to load, try
again but if the problem persists, we will swap the tape for you
without delay. Please send it, with a covering letter, to DOMARK LTD,
FREEPOST, LONDON SW20 8BR.

GETTING STARTED
Once the game is loaded, listen very carefully! The computer will
display your identity automatically, lets say Daryl Peters, and you 
play Daryl for the first level. Each character will have pre-set levels
of strength, panic and sanity which are shown on the bottom left hand 
corner of the screen. The stronger Daryl becomes the higher the weight
bar rises, the more he panics the more his hair stands on end, and as
he cracks up completely Jasons mask begins to fill in!

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Lets presume that the computer gives you Daryl Peters as your first
character. Daryl will find himself initially inside either the church,
the barn or the house.

1. Jason
Jason always attacks the person with the highest panic rating and so
he will chase after Daryl sooner or later... Jason reveals his true
identity only when Daryl confronts him, but he kills others on or off 
the screen. The first level ends when Daryl kills Jason and the
computer will then select a different character for you to play on
level two.

2. Combat
As Jason stalks around Crystal Lake, he is inclined to be careless and
he leaves some of his weapons lying on the
ground. There are 10 weapons, any of which Daryl can pick up, by 
pressing the fire-button and then use to defend himself against 
Jasons attack. Daryl can only carry one weapon at a time and the
chosen weapon is shown in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
As Jason disposes of Daryls friends their picture will turn to a
gravestone on the screen.

3. Sanctuary Cross
Daryl should first find the room with the Sanctuary Cross. By pressing
the fire-button, this Cross can be picked up or dropped anywhere in the
church, house or barn and this then becomes the Sanctuary location.
Jason cannot harm anybody in this location, so Daryl must find his 
friends and tell them to gather there. He does this by walking over
them, whereupon they immediately head for the Sanctuary location.
Although here they are protected against Jason they do get bored and
adventurous. They are, after all, on holiday and so they wander outside
for more sunbathing. It is easy to mistake Jason for a friend and 
inform him of the Sanctuary location. He will scare everyone away so
you have to return and move the cross to another room.

4. Scoring
There are five levels in "Friday the 13th The Computer Game". Daryl is
awarded points for killing Jason and for directing his friends to the 
Sanctuary location. He loses points for failing to tell his friends the
whereabouts of the Sanctuary location, especially if they get in 
Jason's way! If Daryl kills Jason, then Jason takes on his
characteristics in the next level and the computer selects another hero
for you to play.

5. Music, Sounds and Surprises
Variety is the word here! "Friday The 13th The Computer Game" has
snatches of music familiar to everyone. Try to name them all! There
are oodles of sound effects and speech throughout the game, just to
keep you on your toes.

6. Blood Capsules
The two blood capsules included free with this package are non-toxic 
and contain red sugar which forms simulated blood when placed in the
mouth. It should not stain clothing, but Domark cannot accept
responsibility for any individual customer's action.
