Manual
Introduction
Soccer is becoming more popular everyday as a U.S. sport. Now, the Indoor Soccer Solid State SoftwareTM Command Module brings the excitement and challenge of an actual soccer game into your home.
The module has been designed to follow the generally recognized rules of the Five-a-Side Indoor Soccer game and has all the features that make the actual game so much fun to play. Because the playing field is surrounded by walls, there are no interruptions for throw-ins or corner kicks. There is also no offside rule to worry about.
Movement of the players on the screen can be controlled by the Wired Remote Controllers or from the keyboard. For Soccer, certain keys on both sides of the keyboard are designated as directional keys:
Getting Started
When you select Soccer, the module's title screen appears. If you want to skip the title screen and begin the game, press any key. The game set-up screen then appears.
Game Setup
First you are asked to enter the name for Team 1. The name can be up to 8 letters and numbers long. The flashing square (called the "cursor") indicates the position of the next character. Team 1, on the left, wears blue, and the screen border is colored blue to remind you of this. When you finish typing the first team name, press ENTER.
The cursor now moves to the next line so that you can enter the second team name. The screen border turns red, since Team 2 wears red. Press ENTER when the team name is complete. You are now asked to enter the length of the game. Type any number from 1 to 99, and press ENTER.
While entering the team names and length of game, you can correct any mistakes (before pressing ENTER for length of game) with SHIFT ← (LEFT), SHIFT → (RIGHT). SHIFT C (CLEAR). SHIFT Z (BACK). and SHIFT R (REDO). To move the cursor without erasing or changing the displayed data, press SHIFT ← or SHIFT →. Pressing SHIFT C clears the line being typed and moves the cursor back to the start of that line, while pressing SHIFT Z clears all the lines on the screen and returns the cursor to the start of the first line. Press SHIFT R to place the cursor at the start of the first line without erasing any of the characters you've typed.
After you have entered the desired game length, the playing screen appears.
Scoreboard
The scoreboard is at the top of the screen. It shows the time remaining for this half, the two team names, and the score. The time, shown in minutes and seconds, is half of the time you requested for the total game. As the game is played, the clock counts down second by second. When it reaches zero, the "whistle" blows to signal the end of the half.
Playing Field
Below the scoreboard is the playing field. Carefully note the limits of the goals, indicated by the white rectangles at each end of the field.
Each team has five players who are lined up in the kickoff formation, with the ball on the center spot.
