Typed in by TEDDYSTACKER. Edited by PARASITE.


        WARNING!! DO NOT SAVE ANYTHING TO THE PROGRAM DISK!!

1.0 INTRODUCTION
KICK OFF 2 retains the pace and accuracy of the universally
acclaimed KICK OFF.A soccer simulation with a full size multi
directional scrolling pitch and the players,markings,goals etc,in
correct proportions.Both teams play the game strictly according
to tactics.Players move into position to receive passes and gain
possession.The ball,as in real game ,travels ahead of the player
thus making a tackle a matter of skill rather than of choice.

KICK OFF 2 like real soccer,requires skills in ball control for
passing,dribbling,shooting etc.Accuracy in shooting, the ability
to swerve or bend the ball to score, when taking free kicks need
a lot of practice.The practice option all you to practice the ball
skills and set pieces,without being harassed (frank spencer) by
the opposition.Take your time and practice the skills to
perfection.If two players are to team up,it is an ideal
opportunity to practice ONE - TWO up and down the pitch.

Each player on the pitch has a unique combination of attributes
and skills suitable for the skill level at which the game is
being played.A International is superior to 4th div. player in
all departments.

A host of playing options are provided.One of the most useful
options is the provision to set the skill levels of both teams
independently.A novice with INT. Squad can give a professional
with 4th Division Squad a run for his money.

There is a league and a cup tournament with sudden death penalty
shoot outs, in case of a draw.The teams in the league are on the
whole evenly matched but with different styles of play and the
player skills to match,that style.There is a option to load your
own team from "Player Manager" along with your own tactics , to
play against another "Player Manager" team in a single game or
enter league and cup tournament.

The special events selection in the main menu,allows data disks
to be loaded.

Kick Off 2 also provides the facility to change strip colours ,on
expanded ST's ( 1 MB or above ) there are additional sound
effects.

The "Action Reply" facility allows you to see the goals at normal
pace or in "Slow Motion" and compile your own "Golden Goals"
disk.

There are 24 referees and have their own distinctive
temperaments.You will soon know which referee turns a "blind eye"
and which one has a pack of red cards,to distribute.On the other
hand,like human beings,they have good days and bad days.You never
know,you may catch Sean Willis on a good day but Gary Penn -
unlikely!!

2.0 MAIN MENU

2.1 SINGLE GAME - A single game can be between a player and the

Each player on the pitch has a unique mixture of attributes and
skills.
The attributes are
PACE - STAMINA - AGGRESSION - RESILIENCE
The skills are
PASSING - SHOOTING - TACKLING
THE unique mixture determines the performance of the player.For
instance,a player of great pace but with poor stamina will not
perform well , as the match nears the end and should be
substituted if there is extra time in a cup match.Similarly a
player with high aggression  will go for a ball and if he has a
good tackling skills will succeed in getting the possession but
with low tackling skill is likely to foul the opposition and may
even collect a red card if seen by the referee.

two players are in team mode,the main player takes the Free Kick and
the other controlled player stands on the side nearest to the goal.
Press F.B. to start the run.The duration for which the F.B. is kept
pressed determines the height of the ball.The longer the button is
kept pressed,the higher the ball will rise.The strength of the kick is
randomly computer controlled.

There are two distinct joystick controls:BEFORE touching the ball and
AFTER touching the ball.

      BEFORE                AFTER              JOYSTICK POSITION

G  Pass Ball To Left Player
H  Pass Ball To Right Player

ball. With practice ,he can dip the ball into the opposition net or
bend the ball round the opposition wall.The controls give infinite
control on the kick,and with practice,a match winner.If the ball is
passed to another,normal ball controls are resumed.
