                           INTRODUCTION


   The Mr. Men Olympics, designed by Inkie and Amitri, is a sports 
simulator based on the classic childrens books the 'Mr. Men'.  The game 
has been written entirely in AMOS PROFESSIONAL.  The game play 
throughout the game is simple, but on some events a great deal of skill 
will be needed for success.  We have used the classic waggle control 
system on most of the events, as this is the system to be found on all 
the best sports simulators.  We as a group would like to express are 
thanks to Mr. Roger Hargreaves for the inspiration he has given us for 
this game.  The Mr. Men Olympics has taken over a year to develop, it 
started out as a Unity Olympic Challenge, where the team members were 
given their own Olympic challenge.  Slowly the games design developed 
into the Mr. Men Olympics.  12 Months later and here we are, probably 
the best sports simulator in the Public Domain.



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

   The Mr. Men Olympics is a graphically intensive game for this reason an 
Amiga with at leased 1 Megabyte of memory is needed.  This can be 512K 
chip memory with at least 512k fast memory or 1 Meg chip memory.  2 disk 
drives are recommended but not necessary.  As far as we know the game 
will work on any Amiga with 1 Megabyte of RAM, however we have not had a 
chance to test it on the 1000,500+,600,2000,3000 or 4000 range.  I think 
you can assume it will work though.

                     TO THE STUNNING MR. MAN GAME



   Once loaded the game will display a certificate picture, this will fade 
out after a couple of seconds.  The title screen will now be loaded to 
exit from the title screen and start the game press the fire button on 
the joystick in port 2.  You will now be asked how many people want to 
play.  The number of players currently selected is highlighted in blue, 
you can change the number of players by moving the joystick left or 
right.  When the desired amount of players is highlighted press the fire 
button to select.

   The next option you will be presented with is the training or game
option.  From here you can decide whether to practice one individual event
or run through all events in the set order.  Your selection is made by
rotation the arrow to point to your required option.  Push left or right on
the joystick to rotate the arrow and press fire when you are ready.  If you
select the game option then the events will automatically loaded for you.

   If you select the training option then you will be presented with yet
another menu where individual events can be selected for practice.  To
select the required event move the joystick up or down then press fire on
the required event.  Below is the list of events and their instructions.



Event 1 :-               100 METERS SPRINT

STARRING  MR. RUSH

   This is the easiest event in the whole game from the word GO all that 
has to be done is waggle the joystick from left to right as quickly as 
possible, until Mr. Rush crosses the finish line.



Event 2 :-                 WEIGHT LIFTING

STARRING  MR. STRONG

   This is one of the most grueling events in the game, from the start 
waggle the joystick left and right when the word snatch appears press 
fire, then carry on waggling until all three lights are lit.  Now you 
can repeat it all again at a harder level.



Event 3 :-                  THE HAMMER

STARRING  MR. DIZZY

   No waggling is needed in this event.  Timing is of the essence so a good 
angle and distance can be achieved.  Press fire to start him spinning, 
when he reaches the edge of the circle press and hold fire to get your 
desired angle (remember he needs to be facing the right way).



Event 4 :-                  POLE VAULT

STARRING  MR. NOSEY

   The pole vault is a simple event, you can make use of Mr. Noseys extra 
large nose to complete the event successfully.  Simply waggle your 
joystick left and right.  When Mr. Nosey approaches the first white 
line, quickly press the fire button to bounce him over the bar.  So long 
as your approach was fast enough you should be able to clear the bar.



Event 5 :-            THE JAVELIN

STARRING  MR. TICKLE &  MR. SKINNY

   For this event waggle your joystick from left to right, When you reach
the line press the fire button to release MR. SKINNY now waggle the 
joystick left and right to make MR. SKINNY flap his arms to get further 
distance.
