-> Main Menu <-
-------------

Use the up/down directional arrows to move the white highlight up and down
the menu, and use the left/right directional arrows to change the setting.
To exit the Main menu, press START.

· PLAY MODE

There are three basic play modes: 1 Game, Season, and Playoffs. 1 Game mode
offers a choice between playing with the Original Rosters or the Revised
Rosters. Season mode allows you continue a saved season or begin an new one.
Playoff mode offers a choice between single elimination and best of seven
series, and it allows you to continue a saved playoff series.

In addition, the Play mode line accesses the Create Player, Trade Player,
Release Player, and Sign Free Agent screens.

· TEAM

You`ll notice there a two team lines: Player 1 and Player 2 in the Season
and Playoff modes, Home Team and Away Team in 1 Game and the three roster
revision modes.

In Season and Playoff modes, Player 1 determines which team he or she
controls, and the schedule determines Player 2`s team. In the other modes,
Controller 1 controls the Home Team and Controller 2 controls the Away Team.

· PLAYERS

In Season and Playoff modes, where Player 1 selects his or her Team, the
schedule determines who`s home and who`s away for each game. The following
Player option are available: One Player, Two Player - Teammates, and
Two Player Head-to-Head.

In the other modes, you can choose which player(s) is home or away:
One - Home, One - Visitor, Two - Teammates Home, Two - Teammates Visitor,
Two - Head-to-Head, and Demo. In Two - Head-to-Head mode, Controller 1
operates the Home team.

· PERIOD LENGTH

Make sure you set the period length before you begin. The seconds tick off
in double time. Once you start the game, you can`t change the period length.

· PENALTIES

You can have penalties On, Off, or On Except Offsides. When penalties are
On, the referees call them as they see them. When penalties are Off,
anything goes. When Penalties are On Except Offsides, you don`t have to
worry about when you skate or pass the puck across the blue line.

· LINE CHANGES

When Line Changes are On, you`re responsible for assessing the strength
of your lines and inserting them at strategic moments during the game.
When Lines Changes are Auto(matic), the computer substitutes lines for you,
keeping the freshest line, but not necessarily the best players, on the ice.
When Line Changes are Off, your first line (Scoring Line 1) remain on the
ice for the whole game, except during power play and short-handed situations.

· Difficulty

There are three destinct difficulty levels: Rookie, Veteran, and All Star.
We recommend that you play Rookie level until you get hang of the game.
In the unlikely event that you get so good that even All Star level seems
easy, you can always play with one of the weakest teams against one of the
strongest teams.

you opponents have it. There are three different checks: body check, cross
check, and poke check. Your man must be close enough to the opponent to
actually deliver the check. When you`re not close enough to deliver the
check, all three check commands give you a short burst of speed.

R1/R2 performs a Cross Check

-> CREATE A PLAYER <-
-------------------

The Create A Player screen enables you to build players from scratch. The
Instruction below walk you through the creation of a player by the name of
JOHNNY POWERPLAY. The instruction at the bottom of the screen will help you.

- NAME THE PLAYER

 If the First Name is not highlighted, use the directional arrows to
 highlight the line and the press /\. Now use the directional arrows to
 highlight "J" in the character selection box. When "J" is highlighted,
 press X to enter the letter.

 Use the same method to enter the next letter, "O". When you`ve entered all
 the letters in the first name, enter a "blank" space after the last
 character an then press /\ to lock in the name.
                         ¯¯
 Press the DOWN directional arrow to highlight the last NAME line. Enter
 the last name, POWERPLAY, and then press /\.
                                          ¯¯
- CHOOSE A JERSEY NUMBER

 Jersey numbers range from 0-99. Mr. Powerplay should probably wear number
 99. Press the LEFT/RIGHT firectional arrows to select a number, and then
 press the DOWN directional arrow to highlight the Position line.

- CHOOSE A POSITION

 Mr. Powerplay`s talents are probably best used on offense, but you can make
 him a defenseman or a goalie if you wish. Notice that you don`t choose his
 exact position on a line, but only his basic position. Forwards can play
 Center or either Wing.

 Press the LEFT/RIGHT directional arrows to select his position, and then
 press the DOWN arrow to highlight Handedness.

- CHOOSE HIS HANDEDNESS

 You have two choices: Left or Right. I`d make Powerplay a lefty. Now go
 down to Weight.

- SET HIS WEIGHT

 The top weight is 255 lbs. Any heavier and a guy has a tough time getting
 around the ice. The lowest weight is 150 lbs. Let`s make Johnny a
 195-pounder. Press the down arrow to move the highlight to the skill
 levels list.

- SET HIS SKILL LEVELS

 There a 12 skill settings. The number in each skill setting directly
 reflects Johnny`s performance potential on the ice. You can crank them all
 up to 99 if you want to make him unstoppable. Bear in mind, though, the
 skill levels are relative. If everyone is a 99 in every category, then the
 value of a 99 is lost.

- EDITING PREVIOUSLY CREATED PLAYERS

 Press L1/L2 to cycle through all the created players. A RAM card holds up
 to 400 created players and free agents.

- EXIT

 When you`re finished entering all information, press START to return to
 the Main Menu. Johnny Powerplay will appear in Free Agent Draft pool.

-> SIGN FREE AGENT <-
-------------------

A team must have at least 17 and no more than 25 players. The rules break
down as follows:

Total Players:   17 - 25
Forwards:         9 - 15
Defenseman:       6 - 14
Goalies           2 -  3

You`ll need to use the figures when releasing players back into the free
agent draft pool in order not to violate the roster rules when signing a
free agent.

Press the LEFT/RiGHT arrows (or the finger buttons) to select the team that
wants to sign a free agent. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to select the player to
be signed. Press X to sign the player.

If there`s a conflict with the rules, a message appears to indicate that
the signing is not allowed. You`ll need to release a player of the same
position before you can sign the free agent. Having signed the free agent,
make sure you edit your lines so that your new acquisition is used most
effectively.

-> TRADE PLAYERS <-
-----------------

The Trade screen is divided into two halves. You can execute one-for-one
swaps between the two teams on the screen. If you want to execute more
complicated trades, you`ll need to use the Release Player and Sign Free
Agent modes in addition to the Trade screen.

First, select a player from the top half of the screen.

- To cycle through the teams, press the LEFT/RiGHT arrows.

- To scroll the highlight bar UP/DOWN the player roster, press the
 UP/DOWN arrows.

Now select a player from the bottom half of the screen. Use the same
commands outlined above.

- To execute the trade, press ().

- To return to the Main menu, press START.

-> RELEASE PLAYER <-
------------------

In order to sign Free Agents, you`ll often need to release players. Released
players go intothe Free Agent draft pool.

Press the LEFT/RiGHT arrows ( or the finger buttons ) to select the team
that wants to release a player. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to select the player
to be released. Press X to release the player.

The Free Agent pool can contain up to 40 free agents and created players.

-> PLAYOFFS <-
------------

There are two Playoff formats: single elimination and best-of-seven series.
In both formats, the computer creates the pairings after Player 1 chooses
a team on the Main menu.

-> SEASON PLAY <-
---------------

In Season mode, you can choose to play as a few or as many games on the
calendar as you wish. The only rule is that you have to play them in
chronological order. The computer generates win/loss results for all the
games you skip over.
