Instructions Sheet:
===================
World Cup Carnival is an authentic simulation of the Mexico 1986 World Cup
including practicing playing skills and a league table of results. Please
read these instructions carefully before loading and playing the game.
Loading Instructions: (Commodore 64/128)
----------------------------------------
Cassette - Press shift and RUN/STOP keys together and then press PLAY on the
cassette player.
Disk - Type LOAD "*",8,1 and then press RETURN.
The program will load and run automatically. Once the game has loaded, after
pressing the SPACE bar, you will be asked to select Practice Mode (Key 1) or
Tournament (Key 2).
Game Controls
-------------
Player 1 Player 2
Joystick (port 1) Joystick (port 2)
Keyboard (as shown on screen) Keyboard (as shown on screen)
The Fire key or button allows you to shoot, pass, change player or control
the goalkeeper.
Practice Mode
-------------
Allows you to increase your skills in ball control and penalty saving and
taking. You must use the joystick in port 1 for this section.
Ball Control
------------
Movement of the player is controlled by the joystick. If you are correctly
positioned pressing the fire button with joystick direction up kicks the
ball into the air with the player's left toe or knee. Similarly pressing the
Fire button with joystick down activates the right foot or knee. If the ball
is at the correct height pressing the Fire button with no direction selected
enables the player to head the ball. The current score and best score is
indicated on screen. The ball may bounce on the ground but if it is permitted
to come to rest the current score is reset. Press "Q" to return to practice
menu.
Penalties
---------
You may choose to attack or defend the goal. Six balls are taken with the
number of balls kicked, goals and saves indicated on screen along with the
kick strength.
Taking Penalties
----------------
Move the joystick rapidly from side to side to maximise kick strength. During
the last moments of your approach to the ball select the ball direction with
the joystick. A low kick strength results in a slow moving ball which lifts
into the air. The greater the kick the straighter and truer the ball moves.
Saving penalties
----------------
Select the direction in which you wish to dive using the joystick and time
the dive with the Fire button. Alternatively you may simply stand your
ground.
Mexico '86 World Cup
--------------------
You will be asked to select the number of players up to 8. Each player can
choose a team and country from 10 teams.
The logic of the game allows you to run and pass the ball just like the
real game. In general you will control the player nearest the ball. This
player is indicated by a change in the colour of his shirt. If you wish to
change control to another player press the Fire button and control will pass
to the player nearest to the ball. Player shirt colours are as authentic as
possible with cyan used as a compromise for green shirted teams. If your two
teams have the same shirts then the second team assumes an all black strip.
The goalkeeper can dive to save a goal by pressing the Fire button. He will
automatically dive in the direction of the ball under computer control.
In addition the music may be turned ON/OFF by pressing F3/F1.
The game may be paused by pressing F5 and restarted with F7.
The progress of the tournament is tabulated at the end of each game.
If you leave the computer unattended it will automatically default to a
demonstration mode which may be interrupted by pressing the SPACE bar which
returns you to the Title Screen.

Playing the Game
----------------
On loading you will be given the option of 1 or 2 players, as A or B. Eight
teams are displayed and the player(s) choose their team(s).

will play each other in the first round. Press the SPACE bar to get the

Joystick port 1 with Fire button as pass or shoot.
Player 2: Joystick in port 2.
The logic of the game allows you to run and pass the ball just like the real
game. If you do not have the ball then the space bar or Fire button will

will recognise this player by the change in his strip.

unit.

Press the key number to choose the option.
Penalty Taking
--------------
You will have 3 attempts at scoring a penalty. Toggle keys z and x (or
joystick left and right) to run. The faster you toggle the more power you
have in the shot. Just before the ball is released press SPACE (or Fire
button) to kick the ball. At this point, the direction in which the ball is
aimed is determined by pressing the z key for left or x key for right (or
joystick left and right).
The trajectory of the ball depends upon the direction kicked and the speed
of the player as he kicks.
Ball Control
------------
A clock count down 6 computer minutes (real time about 30 seconds) during
which time you must zig zag around bollards. You are able to run faster if
you are not dribbling the ball i.e. if you kick the ball in front of you
move faster. The controls in this section are as follows:
z - left x - right ; - up / - down SPACE - kick
Usual joystick movements plus fire for kick.
If you run into a bollard you will stop dead. If you run the wrong side of a
bollard you will be disqualified.
When your time runs out you will be informed how many times you have run up
and down the course.
Once you have mastered Penalties and Ball Control you may then proceed to

when 'Q' to quit else continue' appears, by pressing Q. To start, toggle the
joystick left and right to build up speed. When your man is about to reach
the ball press fire to kick. If you press fire too early or too late you
will be disqualified this go. When kicking the ball the angle increases until
you release the Fire Button. While this is happening you choose the direction
in which you want to kick the ball, e.g.
{See Fig 1 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF}
Releasing the Fire button will kick the ball. If the angle gets to 90 degrees
you are disqualified.

kicks with the Hi-Score at the bottom. To start walk up to the ball then stop
and press fire. From now on you must keep the ball moving. Missing the ball
ends this go. You can either just kick the ball pressing fire, knee the ball
and fire and left on the joystick or head the ball. Heading the ball is

towards the ball, the faster you toggle the joystick, the quicker he will
run.
When he has reached the ball, press fire and the angle at which the ball will
be kicked will increase until the button is released. Moving the joystick
whilst the button is pressed will aim the cursor at the part of the goal
that the ball will be kicked (fig 2).
{See Fig 2 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF}
Once the ball has been kicked the goalie will automatically try to save it
(and usually does) if you score then a point will be added to your score.
A message will be displayed at the right of the Billboards after you've
kicked the ball. These are 'you missed the ball', 'over' 'saved' or
'GOAL!!!!' No message is displayed if your shot doesn't even reach the goal.
{See Fig 3 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF}
Saving Penalties
----------------
Basically the same as taking penalties except the computer kicks and you try
to save them. Once the computer has kicked the ball you may move the goalie
in one of eight saves. Not moving the joystick (move 8) the goalie stays on
the spot and does not move.
{See Fig 4 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF}
It is possible to save any conceivable shot. 'Goal', 'saved' etc. printed
as in taking penalties. Once you dive, you cannot change direction.
After six shots at goal have been taken, in both taking and saving penalties,
the score will flash. If you press fire, then you'll get another six goes,
otherwise you'll go back to the menu.
After each goal attempt, press fire to restart.
Ball Control
------------
{See Fig 5 in WorldCupCarnivalInstructions.GIF}
To start, walk up to the ball and kick it. Only the score is used on this
section, the angle and speed are ignored.
Keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. When the ball hits the
ground press fire and the score will flash.
If you press fire again, then you will have another attempt, otherwise you
return to the main menu.
Now it's your chance to take part in Mexico 1986 World Cup; so take a breath;
run out on the field and give it all you've got!
