Insert the bot disk into the Amigas internal floppy drive and then switch on. The program will now autoboot and subsequent disks will be requested as needed. You may wish to install Overlord to a hard disk. To do so load up Workbench, insert the Overlord boot disk into the internal floppy drive and select the Install icon. This will run the hard disk install program, just follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation. Once you have installed Overlord just read the instructions given at the end of the installation process. These instructions are also copied to the hard drive in a text file called Read.Me. MUSIC To play Overlord with music you require 1.5 meg of memory. If you are running Overlord with less than 1.5 meg then the music will be automatically turned off. RUNNING OVERLORD When you load Overlord the first screen you see contains a short menu of several options. Here is what they do: CREDITS The rolling credits can be exited by pressing the Escape key or clicking with the right mouse button. CONFIGURE This selection takes you to a screen which enables you to change the default settings. When you save the game the configuration settings are also saved, so that when you re-load your saved game the chosen options will act as the default settings. For more information on the individual configuration setings see page 165 of the manual It is possible to change the configuration later during the game. However, changes made during a game will not transfer to your next new game. SCRAMBLE Select scramble and you will be placed in your aircraft just off the coast of Northern Cherbourg. When you have completed your mission you can return to your base at Tangmere where, after you have landed, you will be treated as a new pilot starting a new game. For more information on flying your aircraft, weapons and combat see pages 117 - 146 of the main manual. LOAD GAME This option reloads a previously saved game. Games can be saved by going to the Gatehouse from the Tangmere screen. NEW GAME This option takes you to the main Tangmere menu screen to begin a new Overlord game. For more information on this menu see page 148 of the main manual. SAVING THE GAME Please note that if you are running Overlord from floppy disks you will need a pre-formatted disk to save your game to. This disk needs to be called USER. We recommend that you create two save game disks. By using two disks you will minimise the chance of losing your saved games should one become corrupted or unusable. MANUAL ADDENDUM The following are a list of differences relevant to the Amiga that are not covered in the main manual.
