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.

INSTRUCTIONS
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

distance.
