SCENARIO -------- Disaster Strikes at Melchester Rovers Melchester Rovers football team has been kidnapped only hours before a crucial fund-raising match to save their ground. Following the threat of takeover from city property developers, roy Race, the player manager of Melchester Rovers, organised a 5-a-side game in a bid to save Melchester from losing its famous football ground. If the team cannot raise enough money to buy off the developers by 5 p.m. tomorrow the bulldozers will be moving in on Sunday morning to flatten the Melchester Rovers Football Club. As the Gazette went to press, sources close to the club revealed that Roy is now racing against time to rescue his other four players from the kidnappers' hideouts. However, there is a constant danger of booby traps and ambushes awaiting Roy and he may well have to rely heavily on his charm and charisma to survive. Heavies, hoodiums and opposition supporters have reportedly arrived in Melchester and are out to stop him in his tracks. Meanwhile, Roy's mum is waiting on the sidelines to revive the tortured team members with her refreshing cups of tea. So it is now up to Roy to rescue his team and stop the developers moving in by staging the celebrity football match as planned for tomorrow. How will the game go for Melchester if Roy only finds 3 players... 2 players... 1 player or if he has to face the opposition alone? We are awaiting further news on this story which could turn into an international incident. Can you help Roy save his players and the club?

ROY OF THE ROVERS 5-a-side soccer ---------------------------------- The current selected player can be moved by pushing the joystick in the required direction. For Players Playing from Left to Right If no player is in close vicinity of the ball, then pressing FIRE will flip control between the current two out-players, whereas, pressing FIRE + LEFT will flip between the goalkeeper and out-player nearest the ball. If current player is an out-player and is within close vicinity of the ball, then kick mode is entered. The player will kick the ball in the direction he is currently pointing. The angle of kick can be altered by 22.5 degrees or 45 degrees in either direction by altering the joystick direction by one or two points (a point is one of eight joystick directions) clockwise or anti-clockwise immediately after pressing FIRE. If the current player is the goalkeeper and he is not currently holding the ball, then pressing FIRE will have the following effect: FIRE + UP - dive up FIRE + DOWN - dive down FIRE + LEFT - stand up FIRE + RIGHT - bend forward/pick up ball. If current player is the goalkeeper and he is holding the ball then one of seven throw directions can be chosen by selecting a point on the joystick while FIRE is still pressed, upon releasing FIRE, the goalkeeper will throw the ball in the chosen direction. For Players Playing from Right to Left As for playing left to right except swap left for right and vice versa. (c) 1988 Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd. Alpha House, 10 Carver Street, Sheffield S1 4FS.
