Game Notes:
------------------------------------------------------
This game is designed to give you, the player, the
feeling and the realism of being recruited into the
Apollo Astronaut Corp.
It is advised to review in detail, the training disk,
simulators, and the flight manual prior to launch.
Be advised. The majority of mission control calls
and mission events have time constraints.
[example]
Docking must be completed within 90 seconds.
An Apollo Moon Mission is based on a sequence
of events happening in a precise order and
time frame. The spacecraft is traveling at
24,000 miles per hour, small pauses can lead
to catastrophic consequences.
This is a mouse oriented game!
There is little typing and joystick
play. The only typing available is when
communicating with mission control or
during pre-launch orientation.
Mission Control Responses
------------------------------------
"go" "nogo" "roger" "abort" "copy"
------------------------------------
For Russian systems, and other non-English
keyboards, type "00" in place of "go".
If mission control reports a problem,
upon completion of a solution, you can
signal mission control with a "roger", or
a "copy". They will let you know if you
fixed it.
Final Notes:
------------------------------------------------------
Prior to launching a real mission, you should review
the first CD in detail. Without the knowledge of how
to launch, dock, set course corrections, use the star
finder, land, and eventually reenter the earth's
atmosphere, you will not complete this game.
Examples: You must know to pull the Lunar Module
completely out of the SPS section of the
Saturn Rocket after having docked with it.
You must find the correct star cluster
for your starmap. If you are not over the
correct grouping, your gimbal will not
be correctly locked.
During landing, note the coordinates and
get there quickly. Drop your thrust, and
be prepared to recompensate your position.
Your yellow targeting line, must be over
or along side of the red target square.
If it is you will drop down to the graphical
non-radar landing. You must land very close
to the old lunar module during landing, if
you want any chance of reaching the RTT-301.
