INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTER
copyright 1995 DATAWARE
There has been no rain for months. Lightning strikes throughout the area
have caused fires in twenty-five forests. Your job as fire fighter is to
get to these fires before they destroy homes.
You begin in the forest the park rangers refer to as Forest #25. To reach
the next forest, you must put out all of the fires before the time runs
out and save at least 50% of the houses.
You have three tools to assist you in controlling the fires: a hose,
an ax, and a shovel. The hose squirts out fires while leaving behind
scorched ground that helps contain the fires since fire cannot jump over
burnt sections of ground. The ax chops down trees to clear the way so
you can approach the fires. And finally, the shovel digs fire breaks to
also help control the fires in that fires cannot jump over fire breaks.
The forests also contain rocks that serve as natural fire breaks.
You move about the forests with either a joystick or the keyboard. See
below for details on the input device you will be using.
JOYSTICK
Use the control pad (arrow pad) on a game pad or the stick on a joystick
to move through the forests. Use one fire button on the joystick/game
pad to activate your tool and the other button to toggle through your
tools.
Your joystick/game pad will automatically be calibrated while the game
is loading. You should avoid pressing any buttons or the control pad
while the program is loading because this will interfere with the
calibration process and your joystick/game pad will not work properly
in the game--wait for the title screen to appear.
KEYBOARD
Use the arrow keys to move through the forests. Use the space bar or
enter key to activate your tool. Use the tab key to toggle through your
tools. You can also use your mouse to select tools.
