- 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.
