Global Effect Demo for Acorn User

1. This is a brief outline of some of the options for the game and how to
play it. it is unfortunate that we can not give you all the information but
it runs to 70+ pages, so we hope that what you find here will give you enough
to start and then experiment.

2. Welcome to the long-awaited strategy game Global Effect. In this demo
version the Battle Option, computer Player and 6 of the worlds have been
removed along with loading and saving. However, the 2 worlds, PANGEA and
FORESTED along with 2 of the Save a world Options POST INDUSTRIAL and GLOBAL
WARMING, should give you a flavour for the full version.

3. To start the game, double-click on the !Global Icon and it will load onto
the icon bar.

4. With the mouse selecting Menu will bring up a menu box; from here you can
select Options. This allows you to select which language you wish the game to
play in, sound effects ON/OFF, music On/Off. Clicking on Set will save your
setting and the menu will disappear. If you change some setting and you wish
to return to the previous one before you have clicked on set, then click on
Restore.

5. The SETUP option will take you to the setup screen where you can
choose your scenario from those listed above. If while you are playing the
game you die and the game is not recoverable then you will have to re-enter
the game via this option. As re-entry via normal double-clicking tries to
carry on from the last game scenario and as it is not recoverable then you
will die immediately.

6. The QUIT option speaks for itself.

Now onto the game: 

1. To enter the game double click on the Global icon on the icon bar.

2. The purpose of the game is to try and ensure that you build/recover the
balance of the world to one of complete eco harmony. If you do not then the
world will die and you will be given a status as to your achievements at the
end. However, selecting the Info icon - the world with the letter I - will
bring up a menu which you might like to explore.

3. You must watch your power that you have available to you while running the
game, this is indicated by the blue vertical bar on the top left hand side of
the screen. If you do not have enough power then you will be informed of this
and you will have to wait until the game gives you some. Helpful hint: the
yellow bar on the lower left hand side indicates you ECO state and if it is
good then the bar is above the line, which means you get power given to you
quicker, however below the line, power is returned more slowly. The two blue
bars next to the yellow indicate whether the world is getting hot or cold,
bar up is hot and down is cold.

4. To build cities you must ensure they have good supply of food, water
supplies, recycling and power stations. There are tools available for you to
choose from, in the tool window on the middle right hand side, using either
the mouse ot the Page Up/Down keys you can cycle through these to select the
one you wish to use.

5. Natural power is available all the time by either Solar or wind power,
however, there is also the possibility of mining for coal, oil (land and at
sea) and Uranium, used for nuclear power.

6. To find the location of these then there is an option on the Info menu
that will allow to carry out prospecting for them, be careful as this needs a
lot of power. You have 3 chances and if you are happy with the first
exploration then simply click the Info icon to return to the INFO menu. Once
you have found a source then you must mine it. Select the tool and if the
mining is successful then you can build a power station, a store if needed
along with reprocessing plants. You may need to connect some of these with
pipes to convey either water or oil.

7. When you have power, city blocks will power up and new ones will be
created depending on your power level and if the power source can cope with
the number of cities. If it cannot then cities will power down for a while
and new ones created will be given power. Cities need to be close to each
other to get power, however you can construct a power cable network to get
power to remotely-placed cities. If a city block is destroyed that is feeding
a remote city then the power to the remote city will cease, to re-instate the
power you need to connect it back up, see if you can find out how...

8. A natural power station will only power 20 city blocks unless you invest,
then they can power up more. However, investing is again a costly venture, so
unless you have lots of power, work out a more cost effective way of getting
more power.

9. Once you placed a construction if you wish to find out more about it the
in the tool window select the "?" and simply click on the construction that
you wish to find out more about.
