Ok, now you have probably seen about 2 or 3 versions of the game Space
|
|
Rogue...The one to have is the one that is: Space.RG1.WORKS. All the other
|
|
versions of the game will crash on you. The Mad Meister found the problem
|
|
and fixed it.
|

|

|
|
|
You begin the game in the deep space of the Karonus star system.
|
|
Follow these steps to read the nearest star base.
|
|
|
|
1) Plot a course. Press N for navigation mode, then use the joystick or
|
|
jeyboard to select the CHART command. Press RETURN or a joystick
|
|
button. Move the cursor across the map of the Karonus star system
|
|
until you find Hiathra Starbase: the green square symbol at
|
|
coordinates 13,19. Press RETURN of joystick button.
|
|
2) Select the HELM command. Autopilot will guide your ship to the new
|
|
coordinates.
|
|
3) If a ship attacks you on the way, the journey stops. Select COCKPIT
|
|
to fight the battle. Press T to target the enemy, and the space bar
|
|
or joystick buttons to fire a weapon. Consult the next section for
|
|
other commands.
|
|
4) After your ship arrives at its destination, (sector 13,19), select
|
|
COCKPIT to return to the space view. If you haven't done so already,
|
|
press T to activate your targeting computer. It displays the range
|
|
and direction to the star base. Move you ship so that the arrows on
|
|
edge of your viewscreen are centered and point inward. The starbase
|
|
should appear onscreen as two pyramids connected by a light-colored
|
|
axle. To dock, slowly maneuver your ship to touch the axle.
|
|
5) At the base, walk around, talk to everyone you meet, and buy some
|
|
cargo. To leave the base, return to your ship. You're on your way...

|
Re-insert the disk, in the proper drive. Try again.
|
|
|
|
If you are saving a game, read the section on "Saving the Game", dummy.
|
|
|
|
If nothing works, try getting another kracked copy of the game, and
|
|
trying that, if that doesn't work, YOU'RE UP SHIT'S CREEK, WITHOUT A
|
|
PADDLE!
