1) No More Games

   Much work has gone into making this product, but software piracy is slowly

   destroying the games industry, with many companies going out of business and

   projects of the depth and detail of Manchester United Europe becoming less

   viable. If you enjoy entertainment software of this quality then please have

   a sense of responsibility.



                         Any fool can copy software...

                   It takes a little more intelligence not to

INTRODUCTION



    In February 1990, Krisalis Software launched Manchester United The Official

Computer Game to great critical acclaim. The game has since sold over 100,000

copies and is still proving to be a must purchase for all football fans.

    Over the past 12 months we have received over 4000 reply cards from our

customers who as well as telling us how much they enjoy playing Manchester

United, provided us with many helpful hints for the follow up. Without

exception all asked for a European edition.

    We also collected all other requests which came down to 15 major points,

all of which have been implemented in Manchester United Europe.

sliding tackle, this is performed by pressing the fire button as you run to

tackle for the ball. A successful sliding tackle will result in you gaining

control of the ball, an unsuccessful sliding tackle may result in a foul and

caution from the Referee.

KICK LOGIC

Quick Shot:          A quick press of the fire button will produce a power shot

                     in the direction you are travelling (with no after touch

                     control).



Controlled Shooting: You will notice that pressing and holding the fire button

                     as you run with the ball takes away your ability to change

                     the direction in which the player is travelling but not

                     your ability to kick the ball in any direction you wish

                     including back kicks. To produce a controlled shot hold

                     down the fire button to select the strength of shot. While

                     holding down the fire button move the joystick in the

                     direction you want the ball to go, then move the joystick

                     to the neutral (centre) position and release fire.



Aftertouch:          Aftertouch emulates a curl shot that a skillful player in

                     real life would produce when kicking the ball.



                     After releasing the fire button you have a short time to

                     select aftertouch mode. This is selected by immediately

                     moving the joystick in the direction listed below:



                     Up            - Keeps the shot on the ground

                     Up right      - Ground shot with curl to your left

                     Up left       - Ground shot with curl to your right

                     Right         - Power shot with left curl

                     Left          - Power shot with right curl

                     Centre        - Power shot

                     Down right    - Chip with left curl

                     Down left     - Chip with right curl

                     Down          - High chip



One Touch Play:      If the ball is free and off the ground you can play one

                     touch football. By running in the direction of the ball

                     and then holding down the fire button you will produce one

                     of three actions:-



                      1. If the ball is at waist height you will attempt a

                         volley shot.

                      2. If the ball is at head height you will attempt a power

                         header.

                      3. If the ball is on the ground you will attempt a

                         sliding shot.



All three actions can produce spectacular goals or passing shots.

                     the fire button will enable the keeper to save or collect

                     the ball by the most appropriate method at the time

                     dependent on the position of the ball.
