THE GAME

To while away the hours in deep space while the robo boys look after the herds of

Cybernetically Operated Wagons (COWS).  Cowboys tend to get SPACED OUT

quite frequently.  The aim of the game is to get from the bottom left hand corner of

their holographic screen to the top right hand corner without getting SPACED

OUT by the army of NASTIES designed to make their life a little more difficult! Not

only will you have to dodge the NASTIES but you will have to watch the penalty

points.

PLAYING THE GAME

SPACED OUT is a game that can be played with either a Joystick connected to

your Spectrum or with definable keys.

Select the size of the play area by increasing or decreasing its size.  Push FIRE to

select the required area.  Similarily, then number of opponents can be increased or

decreased and set by pushing the FIRE button.

The screen will then prompt you to push the FIRE button again and you're ready to

get SPACED OUT .

Push FIRE to roll the dice which indicate the number of dots you must move

vertically and horizontally, but when a double is thrown 2 moves must be made.

Move left and right and select the direction and number by pushing FIRE.  You

cannot move ACROSS an opponent but you can move TO a square occupied by an

opponent.  This means that the opponent is SPACED OUT and removed.  When the

move is completed it is the opponent's turn.  If they succeed in boxing you in,

you're SPACED OUT and they move again and gain another NASTY.

PENALTY POINTS

There are 4 ways of incurring Penalty Points.

1.  Time penalties

If you run out of time you will lose your remaining moves, incur 600 Penalty Points 

and another NASTY will appear.  Time penalties are also incurred after the first 15

seconds (25 if a double is thrown).

2.  Opponent Penalty

When a NASTY is removed during a move.  100 Penalty Points are scored.

3.  Spaced Out Penalty

If you are boxed in you'll score 400 Penalty Points.  Tell the computer that you're

SPACED OUT by selecting the icon at the bottom right of the screen.

4.  Throw Penalty

When you have used your allotted 20 moves, 100 Penalty Points are incurred for

every extra move.

Remember that the penalties scored in the game will be in the HANDICAP in the 

rematch.  If you exceed the Handicap with penalties in the rematch...YOU LOSE!
