- "The file PEGSUS.IMG is a demo file for 'PHM Pegasus C64' that includes a
- continuous self-running demo of scenario #2, the 'Graduate Training Mode,'
- that can be played. At any time the demo, by using the joystick or
- keyboard, can start playing. If you stop playing it, it goes back to
- self-running mode. This demo gives a feel for operating the hydrofoil
- and its weapons systems but doesn't include the more in-depth strategies of
- the other scenarios, in which you actually have to use helicopters and
- other vessels to help you spot enemies."

- joystick then moves your firing cursor. The fire button then shoots

- tell you where to aim your shots."
