FRIDAY THE 13TH - THE COMPUTER GAME

CBM, AMSTRAD, SPECTRUM
THE GAME

Jason is hiding in the forest, waiting to avenge his mother's
death, when a party of teenagers visit the eerie Crystal Lake
holiday camp close to the killer's filthy grotto. Jason puts on his
hockey mask and sharpens his machette, ready for a razor-edged
massacre. You must warn everyone that the mad murderer is on
the rampage and lead them all to safety - without, of course,
losing your head!

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

AMSTRAD		:  CTRL and small ENTER key.
COMMODORE	:  SHIFT RUN/STOP.
SPECTRUM	:  LOAD "".

GAMEPLAY

A quite holiday camp at Crystal Lake is disturbed when one
of the campers, Jason, is drowned. His mother, distraught with
grief, blames the other campers who did nothing to help him.
She vows revenge and murders all the holiday makers except one
girl who kills her. The survivor floats into the middle of the lake
where Jason rises from the water, to take his revenge.

Jason is still wreaking havoc throughout Crystal Lake when you
arrive for a holiday. Your task is to find a safe sanctuary where
Jason cannot go and then persuade your friends to gather there.
You have to identify Jason! He is a normal player moving
around the game until he attacks or is attacked. You are warned
about each attack and have a chance to find him, but Jason waits
for no man.

There are 10 different characters in the game each with pre-set
levels of strength, panic and sanity. You are given an identity for
each level and at the start of the game you will find yourself
either inside the church, the barn or the house.

Jason always attacks the person with the highest panic rating so
he will chase after your character sooner or later ... Jason reveals
his true identity only when you confront him but he kills others
on or off the screen! The first level ends when your character
kills Jason and the computer will then select a different char-
acter for you to play on level two.

As Jason stalks around Crystal Lake, he is inclined to be careless
and leave some of his weapons lying on the ground. There are 10
weapons and can be picked up by pressing the fire button and
used to defend yourself against Jason's attack.
Your character should first find the room with the Sanctuary
Cross. Pick it up and drop it in the Church, house or barn and

---------------------------------------------------------

this then becomes the Sanctuary location. Jason cannot harm
anybody there so you must find your friends and tell them to
gather there. You do this by walking over them whereupon they
immediately head for the Sanctuary location. However, they
might get bored and start to wander. It is easy to mistake Jason
for a friend and inform him of the location. He will scare every-
one away so you have to return and move the cross to another
room.
