LOADING

-------

1. Place the cassette in your recorder ensuring that it is fully 

   rewound.



2. Ensure that the MIC socket is disconnected and that the volume and 

   tone controls are set to the appropiate levels.



3. If the computer is a Spectrum 48K or spectrum + then load as 

   follows. Type LOAD "" (ENTER). (Note there is no space between the

   two quotes). The " is obtained by pressing the SYMBOL SHIFT and P 

   keys simultaneously.



4. Press PLAY on your recorder and the game will load automatically. If

   you have any problems try adjusting the volume and tone controls and

   consulting Chapter 6 of the Spectrum manual.



5. If the computer is a spectrum 128K then follow the loading

GAME PLAY

---------

This game can be played by either a single player or by two players; 

either competing against each other or playing on the same team against

the computer.



The program is operated by keyboard or joystick and most interfaces are

compatible.



Just like real tennis, you score '15','30','40' and then the next point 

takes the game. The first player to take six games wins the set. The

player who gets the best out of three sets wins the match.



SERVING



When serving, the ball must land in the service court diagonally 

opposite you.



Serve the ball by first tossing it up with the fire key, then hit it

immediately by another push of the fire key. Be sure to get your timing

right when you serve, depending on how good your timing is, your serve

will be counted as IN, FAULT or NET as it hits the opponent's court.

When a ball hits the net and 'NET' is called you take another serve.



CALLS BY THE JUDGES



If a ball lands on a line it is in.



In singles the play is bounded by the inside lines. For doubles use the

outside lines. Players change courts only in a two player singles game.

When playing against the computer, in either singles or doubles you 

control the player in the near court.
