Getting Started
===============

When the initial screen appears, and no saved game exists, you will be
prompted to enter your name. You can allow the game to pick a name for you by
pressing the START button (Enter key). Turn the key selector on by pressing
the L button, then type your name by moving the cursor around the alphabet
with the directional keys, pressing the B button on each letter. Press the L
button to turn the key selector off. When the key selector is off, pressing
the B button (Backspace key) moves the cursor back one space. Press the START
button to submit your name.

Use the directional buttons to move your character. To move diagonally, hold
down the SELECT button, select the direction, then release the SELECT button.
To run, hold down the START button, select the direction, then release the
START button. You can also release the SELECT/START button before releasing
the directional buttons.

To execute a game command, turn on the key selector and move the cursor around
until the desired command is highlighted, then press the B or R button. The B
button keeps the key selector on for convenience. There are two help screens
that list all available commands ('?'), and the meaning of all onscreen
symbols ('/').

While playing, some game messages are too long or numerous to be displayed at
once. To continue, press the A button (Space key).

To cancel a command in progress, press the R button (Escape key) when the key
selector is off.



Quitting, Saving, and Dying
===========================

To quit without saving the game, use the 'Q' command.

To save and quit, use the 'S' command, then turn off the game console when the
message says that it's safe to do so. The next time the game is turned on, the
saved game will continue. Please note that turning off the console at any time
other than after saving will cause the current game to be lost forever.
