EVENING STAR
This game sees you in command of a train that runs from Bath Spa
station to Bournemouth.
At the main menu press 0 for a detailed demo of what you need to do,
or 1, then 1 again for loco controls. You can then control Cut Off,
Brake and Regulator.
As you sit at Bath, open cut off fully by pressing C four times. Half
open regulator (R twice) and you're off! At four miles an hour open
regulator fully for maximum speed. To slow down at stations you'll
need to use the brakes and close the regulator and cut-off. Bit
tricky, all this. the idea is to stop at the far end of the platform
so everyone can get on or off.
The options (main menu) are what you've got to try and better. They're
are as follows.....
0. Demo run. Useful for watching the computers actions. This is the
best way to learn how to play evening star.
1. Practice session. All you've got to do is stick to the timetable
(key T) and stop at Evercreech junction.
2. A non-stop local run. There's a speed limit of 40mph, so keep your
speed down (and watch out for motorcyclists).
3. Another 40mph speed limit, but you must obey all signals and stop
where the timetable tells you to. The signals (in the top right corner
of the screen) are STOP (down position) and GO (up position). Stations
where you're supposed to stop are in capital letters on the timetable,
and at each station allow one minute for everyone to get on and off
the train.
4. With all the above restrictions, but the train runs from Bath to
Bournemouth.
5. As 4, but you should try and get to Bournemouth early, thus setting
a world record.
6. You must stick to the timetable perfectly, this being the special
Pines Express (which is never late).
7. As above, but a problem will occur. This appears on the screen so
press SPACE to acknowledge it and deal with it the best you can. Good
luck!
Save your position by pressing T then S, in case you haven't got time
to finish a run there and then.
