100% PURE ACTION
SubStation is a 1st person perspective game in which the player
moves freely in an extremely fast real-time gouraud-shaded
3D world. The screen refresh rate for the 3D world alone is
an amazing 25 fps (frames per second) in a resolution of
320*160 pixels using 3 bitplanes! The 3D system is a
state-of-the-art development solution written by Mikael
Emtinger and Oskar Burman, and will make SubStation one
of the technically most advanced games ever to appear on the
Atari STE/Falcon.
100% GAMEPLAY
SubStation runs on any Atari STE 1Mb+ or Falcon with an RGB
or a VGA monitor. Your character is controlled using the
keyboard. You can run, walk, sidestep, pick up items, choose
between a great number of weapons, open doors, access elevators
between the different sublevels, and even sidestep, rotate, run
and fire your gun at the same time, giving you total control
of your actions!
100% GREAT SOUND
To further increase the horrifying atmosphere in SubStation,
Tord Jansson (responsible for the amazing sound routines in
Obsession) developed a special sound effects system called
DD Audio (Distance & Direction) which enables you to hear
where monsters are lurking. The combined effect of foggy
colours and the pit-pat of tiny monster feet from the far left
will give you nightmares...
100% MULTI-PLAYER COMBAT
By utilizing the link capabilities of SubStation, you can play
against other humans in special combat-levels using the Atari's
built-in MIDI ports. Up to four players can take part in a game,
either by forming two teams, or every man for himself.
100% PURE QUALITY
SubStation features a true 3D world, more than 2000 different
locations, a vast number of fearsome enemies, real-time Gouraud
shaded walls, advanced DD-Audio sound, 6 different weapon
types, multiplayer mode, secret rooms & booby traps, real-time
lightsourced sprites, 25 kHz sound quality, more than 30 colours,
"Trial and error" monster A.I, more than 32 action-packed levels,
end-of-level bosses, 100% horror!

Harddisk installation:
To install Substation onto a harddisk,create a folder called
"STATION",and in that folder another folder called "DATA".Copy all
files from the three disks "DATA" folders into your harddisks' "DATA"
folder.Your computer will discover several files with identical
filenames:just click "SKIP" to skip those files.Finally copy the file
"STATION.PRG" from DISK 1 to your "STATION" folder. 1 meg users may
not be able to run the game from harddisk.
This is because of some harddisk drivers require huge amounts of
memory.

A on the left side of your computer.Please note that this is NOT the
ordinary joystick port!

rotates, the A button to run,The B button to fire your weapon,the C
button to sidestep/open doors, and the Option button the drop mines.
