*********************************************************** *********************************************************** ** Wayne Gretzky Player's Reference Sheet for the Amiga ** *********************************************************** *********************************************************** BOOTING WAYNE GRETZKY HOCKEY If necessary, Kickstart your Amiga. At the Workbench prompt, insert your Wayne Gretzky Hockey diskette into the internal drive. The program will load and run automatically. If your Amiga is already up and running, insert your Wayne Gretzky Hockey diskette and "Warm boot" it by holding down the CTRL key and both Amiga keys at the same time. If you wish to bypass the introduction sequences, hold down the left mouse button until the Title Screen appears (the screen with Wayn'es picture). CONTROLLER TYPES Use the controller to indicate the direction you want the player to move and click the controller button to pass, shoot, or check. There are two controller choices for the Amiga: a mouse and a joystick. MOUSE: Use only the left mouse button to click. Mouse move- ments control the cursor. In two player games, each cursor is a different color. During play on the ice, the chosen player chases the cursor. See page 23 in the user's guide for further instructions on using a mouse to control a player. JOYSTICK: When in the menus, the joystick controls the cursor. Clicking is done with the "fire" button. During action on the ice, the joystick controls the direction of the player without a cursor being displayed. Move the joystick in the direction you want the player to move and he will follow. To pass using a joystick, press the fire button. As long is pressed, the player will continue to skate in the direction he was previously skating. Position the joystick in the direction you want to pass, then let up on the fire button. If a teammate is in the general direction of your pass, the puck will automatically be angled to lead him. If the pass is in the direction of the goal and originated in the attack zone, the player will shoot on goal. If no one is in the direction of the pass, the puck will go in the direction the joystick is angled. The Amiga's two game ports allow you to use different controllers for each team. To minimize confusion when different controllers are used the mouse should be plugged into gameport 1; the joystick into gameport 2. NOTE: Both a mouse or joystick allow you to "demand" a pass from your teammates (For further information, see page 25 in the User's guide). COACHING CONTROLS Keyboard Commands: There are three keyboard commands: PLAY SELECT, LINE CHANGE and CONTROL PLAYER. (See page 27 in the User's Guide for additional details). To activate PLAY SELECT, depress the ALT key. The five plays (see page 28 in the User's Guide) may now be selected, using the following Selection keys: HOME TEAM VISITING TEAM --------- ------------- F1 FOR PLAY 1 F6 FOR PLAY 1 F2 FOR PLAY 2 F7 FOR PLAY 2 F3 FOR PLAY 3 F8 FOR PLAY 3 F4 FOR PLAY 4 F9 FOR PLAY 4 F5 FOR PLAY 5 F10FOR PLAY 5 To activate LINE CHANGE, depress the Amiga key. The three lines can now be selected using the following selection keys: HOME TEAM VISITING TEAM --------- ------------- F1 FOR LINE 1 F6 FOR LINE 1 F2 FOR LINE 2 F7 FOR LINE 2 F3 FOR LINE 3 F8 FOR LINE 3 To activate CONTROL PLAYER, depress the Shift key. Which player you control is then determined by the following function keys: HOME TEAM VISITING TEAM --------- ------------- F1 FOR L DEFENSE F6 FOR L DEFENSE F2 FOR L WING F7 FOR L WING F3 FOR CENTER F8 FOR CENTER F4 FOR R WING F9 FOR R WING F5 FOR R DEFENSE F10 FOR R DEFENSE Note: The ALT, AMIGA, or SHIFT keys on the left side of the keyboard are for the HOME TEAM controls. The ones on the right side of the keyboard are for the VISITING TEAM. CENTERING THE RINK The rink may sometimes look off-center making it difficult to read the top and bottom scoreboards. If this happens, depress the letter 'p' on the keyboard; this freezes the action on the screen. While the screen is frozen, use the up or down arrows to raise, or lower the screen. This should allow you to center the screen. If the rink is centered, but the scoreboards are still difficult to see, adjust the vertical height by rotating the vertical height control located at the back of the monitor. PRINTER The printer function of Wayne Gretzky Hockey requires only that you know whether you have a parallel port or serial port printer. If you do not know which printer you have (then you are some dumb modemer!), check the user's manual that came with the printer. Then, select the correct port (i.e. serial or parallel) in the Game Setup Menu before you attempt to print. CREDITS This is where Bethesda Softworks credits their programmers. Instead of typing that up, I would like to thank the following people: Ted the Farmer (Great Job Ted!) yellow Beard BlueBeard MerkWood Doctor Who Please catch me on these fine boards: Genesis I Tardis Pandora's Box Terminal Fix --Jeff Kirk-- P.S. If there is interest, I will be glad to type up the user manual. It is about 30 pages long with mostly salient hockey points. There are some other tips/hints that will be passed along as I get a chance.
