The Aim of your Mission is to gain entry to the hidden Command complex, once there you must locate the main computer room and delete the command program by entering the Distruct Code. Intelligence informs us that this code is hidden within the complex. If you succeed in your Mission a reward of 5000 score credits will be given. We will also be willing to reward you for discovering anything that is of value to us with score credits up to a maximum of 20,000. Allied powers have also asked if we can discover the name or names of possible double agents. High level intelligence contacts have supplied the following information which may be of some use to you: 1) Outline brief from Allied Command H.Q. 2) Information from one of our agents who managed to gain access to the centre. 3) Copy of basic blueprint to centre. 4) Names of centre's main personnel. 5) Swiss bank account numbers for several of centre's main personnel. You will be taken to, and collected at, the drop off point by Mission's own personnel and a cover will be arranged for your absence. You are now on your own ............ GOOD LUCK. COMMANDER M ----------------- INFORMATION ONLY: ----------------- OUTLINE BRIEF FROM ALLIED COMMAND H.Q. Classification ................................. RED. From ........................................... Commander Smith-Green. To ............................................. Special Operations Group. Authorization .................................. P.M. Content ........................................ Project Volcano. Background A top secret missile command centre has been discovered hidden beneath an extinct volcano on the Yugoslavian and Rumanian border. The command centre we now know is the heart of a missile network which covers the whole of the Soviet Block. The centre is fully selfcontained and automated. Recommendations After top level discussions it has been decided that the centre must be put out of operation for four weeks, but the total destruction of the centre would have too many repercussions for stable relationships. It is felt by the P.M. that a delay of four weeks would allow Allied Forces sufficient time to equalize the power balance and allow our own command centre to start functional operations. Action It is felt desirable that a Secret Agent be used to destroy the master program and no link be established with Allied Command.

Place cassette in datacorder and rewind to start. 2. Press CTRL and small enter keys at same time. 3. Run" and press play, then any key will appear on screen. 4. Press play on datacorder and any key on main keyboard and the game will now load. Once loaded the program will prompt you 'RESTORE A PREVIOUS GAME Y/N', answer N if this is the first playing or if you wish to start from the beginning. You can command the computer by typing in simple English commands, usually verb and noun. Some of the most commonly used commands can be abbreviated, e.g. F is the same as FORWARD, T FIS can be substituted for TAKE FISHINGROD. These commands can be listed during the course of the game by typing HELP. Various objects will be encountered as the game progresses, the name that they are recognised by will be shown in capitals, e.g. to TAKE a green HAT you would type T HAT. At any time during the Mission you may withdraw by typing QUIT. Any rewards due to you at this stage are now shown. You will then be given the option of playing again - answering 'Y' restarts the Mission from the beginning - answering 'N' gives you the option to save your present position. If you wish to do so, answer 'Y' AFTER having made ready a spare cassette. Now press the play and record buttons on your cassette player and press any key on your computer. It will take approximately 10 seconds to save. In order to restore a position answer 'Y' to 'RESTORE A PREVIOUS GAME Y/N', after first having made ready your saved cassette. Now press the play button on your cassette recorder. The previous position you were at is automatically loaded and you can continue your Mission. TIPS ON PLAY Keep track of where you are and where you have been. If the program does not understand, try and rephrase your command The solution to individual problems is usually quite simple in nature, so if you find yourself typing long sentences you are probably on the wrong track. If you get stuck, put it away and play again tomorrow, often the solution can strike you suddenly. Remember there could be something more interesting in the next room. If you search hard enough. Not everything you find will be useful, some things may be a positive disadvantage if carried. Descriptions given by the program may hold a clue so study them carefully. You are in enemy territory, the good agent will think before he acts when his life may be at stake.
