CONTROLS

To explore Scarthorpe, you will need to move from location to

location by entering North, South, East or West. You need only

use the first letter, ie, N for North. Follow all instructions

by pressing Enter.



To give commands, use simplified English. The program has a large

vocabulary including UP, DOWN, ENTER, LEAVE, IN, OUT, CROSS,

EXAMINE, LOOK, EAT, DRINK and many others. It is also possible

to string commands together, for example "TAKE DUNGAREES AND GO

NORTH" or "KILL FAN AND TAKE TRAP". Remember to press Enter after

each instruction.



There are also a number of special functions designed to help

you. For example "TAKE" or "T" will allow you to pick up a useful

object and carry it with you.  Enter "DROP" and you will leave

the object behind. If you are unsure of which items you are

carrying, enter "I" for an inventory. To see how well you are

doing, enter "SCORE" to be given points out of 22. If your game

is going badly, you can abandon it by entering "QUIT".



If you wish to save the game to be continued later, enter "SAVE"

and follow the on-screen instructions. To re-load your game, load

the original cassette, move to the first location and enter

"LOAD" and follow the on-screen instructions.



DESCRIPTION

Urban Upstart - A complex adventure with spectacular graphics.



ORIGINAL INLAY CARD TEXT

Scarthorpe is the sort of town where even the dogs carry flick

knives! Where there's a only one road in, and that's a one-way

street!



The sort of town where rebuilding means a new coat of paint, and

where people queue up to queue up for a job!



Not many people come to Scarthorpe, and even fewer leave.



The church bells chime three in the morning...the streets are

deserted...now is your chance to Escape from Scarthorpe!



To help you on your quest, this program shows a graphics

representation of every location you enter.



GOOD LUCK!
