                               PACOS PETE
                        THE HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER
                        -----------------------

Object of Game
--------------
The Player is given 3 lives. Pete must survive each screen. The object of the
game is to SURVIVE while drifting through the WILD WEST.

You must:

1. Cross the DESERT,
2. WIN the GUNFIGHT against TOWN SHERIFFS,
3. TANGLE with the TOWN BULLY, by drinking beer and ARM WRESTLING,
4. DO A DAY'S WORK at MILKING the local COW. The more milk produced, the more
energy to cross the desert.

Special Function Keys
---------------------
[RUN/STOP] - Pause On/Off

In Pause mode, [F7] turns MUSIC On/Off.

IF PRACTISE screens are selected and left alone with no play action, DEMO
action will commence.

Desert Walk
-----------
Using your WHIP you walk through the desert destroying objects in your path.
All objects will drain your ENERGY. You gain ENERGY by WHIPPING them. The RUM
JUG will give you energy if you allow it to hit you.

When you are LOW on energy, a VULTURE will appear and circle above. The lower
the VULTURE, the lower your ENERGY.

WHIP ALL ARROWS, THEY CAN BE FATAL.

Six Gun Shootout
----------------
Using your gun, you must shoot all objects that come into view. GUNMEN in the
WINDOWS will shoot at you and drain your energy. You can gain energy by
successfully shooting the objects and gunmen.

To KILL the SHERIFF you must aim directly at his FACE to obtain quickest
results. Be CAREFUL not to run out of AMMO. Hitting the SPINNING COIN will
replenish your supply of bullets.

Saloon Time
-----------
Press the FIREBUTTON to catch the BEER as it approaches you. If you MISS FOUR
in a row, you must ARM WRESTLE the TOWN BULLY. (Ready or not!)

??? and drinking the beer increases your STRENGTH. Your colour changes as your
??? increases. ARM WRESTLE the bully by moving the joystick as quickly as
possible from [LEFT] to [RIGHT], to defeat him.

Milking Cow
-----------
To give yourself energy for the WALK THROUGH THE DESERT, you will need to fill
the MILK CHURN.

The BUCKET must be manoeuvred under the cow's udder. Pete must be positioned to
face ??? and be level with the chair. The player then hits the firebutton to
sit down. The player ??? always press the firebutton again, to warm his hands,
before milking. DO NOT FORGET ??? or the cow will stop eating. Move the
joystick [LEFT], then [UP] and [DOWN] to milk the cow. When the bucket is FULL,
wait until Pete is sitting UPRIGHT before moving the joystick up to make him
stand. To PICK UP the bucket, position Pete to the same level as the ??? and
right beside it. Now hit the firebutton and Pete will bend down and pick it up.
To EMPTY the milk into the CHURN, walk to the far bottom right corner, and,
with the joystick held [RIGHT], push the firebutton.

The cow will not PRODUCE milk unless she is eating.

FEEDING the cow, Pete must grab some HAY at far top right and walk to the top
leftmost part of the screen. While pushing the joystick [LEFT], hit the
firebutton. This will feed the cow.

AVOID stepping on the COW DUNG. This will cause Pete to slip and drop
everything. TIME is important, as Pete must fill the churn before the day is
over.

Loading Instructions
--------------------
Press SHIFT and RUN/STOP keys together. Press PLAY on the cassette recorder and
keep PLAY button depressed. Upon completion of the game, rewind to start again.
