→Introducing Return to Pirate's Isle
'''Note:''' Return to Pirate's Isle is an advanced Adventure game and is not recommended for the beginning player.
===Before You Begin===
Before you start your Adventure, you can choose several options that make the game more enjoyable. You can use a printer to plot moves, plan strategy, and provide a record of game action. Because an Adventure can take days or weeks to complete, you may choose to stop and save the game and resume play at that stopping point. Clues are important in playing Adventure. Consider each clue carefully to plan your strategy.
----
===Using the Printer Option===
The first item that appears on the screen is the message PRINTER?.
If you want a printout of all text appearing as you play, type '''Y'''.
If you type '''Y''', the program message DEVICE? appears. Type the specifications of your printer and press '''ENTER'''. (See your RS232 and printer manuals for further information.)
If you do not wish to use a printer, press '''ENTER''' or any key, except '''Y'''.
'''Note:''' Your printer must have the Word Length set to 7-bit and the Auto Feed set to '''ON'''. For the TI printer, insure that Dip Switches SW 2-1 and SW 4-3 are '''ON'''. For other printers, refer to your owner's manual for the correct settings.
Make sure that your Device name is no longer than 13 characters. An example of a Device name is: RS232.BA=1200.
===Saving a Game===
As you play an Adventure game, you may decide to stop and continue it at another time.
To save an Adventure in progress, type the command '''SAVE GAME''' in response to the COMMAND ME: screen message.
Next, the program asks you DEVICE?. Save the game on either a diskette or cassette. If you are saving the game on cassette, type '''CS1'''. If you are saving the game on diskette, type '''DSKl.''filename'''''. Press '''ENTER'''. (See yourTI-99/4A User's Reference Guide for additional information.)
After completing the Save procedure, the message COMMAND ME: appears. To continue the game, enter the command for your next move. To stop the game, type '''QUIT''' and press '''ENTER'''.
