The default configuration is Keyboard 1 which is: MOVE : the keypad (or arrow keys) ATTACK 1: SHIFT ATTACK 2: CTRL JUMP : ENTER PROTECT : ALT 4. The Main Menu The main menu is divided into 5 areas: - Game Options (The flying pyramid) - Hall of training (The wooden building) - Help (The information booth in the middle) - Fight (The coliseum to the right) - Quit (The guillotine) To move in the menus, use the mouse to move the pointer over the area you wish to select and press the left mouse button.

Players selected as other than "inactive" will be active in both the tournament and bash. Only the first 2 players can participate in a single fight, and only player 1 can challenge an evil lord. Clicking on the "PLAYER 1", "PLAYER 2" or "PLAYER 3" button will cycle through the different controls for the different players, or will put the player inactive. 4.1.2 Choosing the sound Clicking on the "SOUND" button toggles ADLIB and NO SOUND 4.1.3 Read This/Ordering information Clicking on these buttons will bring you important information about this product! 4.1.4 Calibrating the joysticks To use the joystick properly, you must calibrate them. Click on this button and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your joystick. 4.1.5 Redefining the keyboards You can use the pre-defined keys to control your player, but you can also redefine the 2 keyboard layouts. Click on either "REDEFINE KEYBOARD 1" or "REDEFINE KEYBOARD 2" and follow the on- screen instructions to redefine the keyboard. 4.2 Hall of Training: The wooden building The hall of training is where you can go to create a new character, view any of the 16 players or 32 computer characters and view the informations on all the 16 normal races. 4.2.1 Creating a character To create a new character, you must select the "create a character" button from the hall of training. You must then delete one of the 16 "player characters" by clicking on it. Your new character will replace the character you choose to delete. You must then choose a name for your new character. Type the name using the keyboard and press ENTER when done. After that, you must choose a race for your character, choose from the race list to the right of the screen. 4.2.2 Viewing a character To view an already created character, select the "view a character" button from the hall of training, then choose the character you wish to view from the list on the right. 4.2.3 Races information To view the information on a specific race, select the "races information" button from the hall of training. From there you can choose any of the 16 races on the right of the screen. You will see all the characteristic of the race displayed to the right of the race's portrait, with a description of the race below. 4.3 The Arena: The Stone Coliseum The coliseum is where all gladiators ready for combat are. From the arena you can fight single matches, play a 16 monster tournament, a 20 monster bash or challenge one of the three evil lords. 4.3.1 Single match Single fights are especially good for training because they only give 1 point each. Use single fights to study the different races, how they react, how they hit etc. If "Player 1" is not "Inactive", the first player you select will be controlled by "Player 1". Otherwise, the computer will take care of controlling it. If "Player 1" is not "Inactive", the second player you select will be controlled by "Player 1". Otherwise, the computer will take care of controlling it. See section 5 for more information after you select the characters. 4.3.2 Elimination tournament Tournaments are less predictable than single fights, because you do not choose any of the opponents you will face! If all three players are "inactive", the computer will choose and controll all participants in the tournament, and the tournament will be resolved without any input from the player. The computer will prompt you for any "active" player to choose the character he will control. The slot in which the character will be placed is choosen randomly. A tournament is worth 20 points. See section 5 for more information after you select the characters. 4.3.3 20 monsters bash The bashes are a totally different story, it is a truly unique event that will pit your skills against up to 19 other opponents, with up to three opponents at a time. You select the players as you do in "the tournaments" (see above). In this case however, the slot number you end up in is extremly important, as explained below. See section 5 for more information after you select the characters. 4.3.4 Challenging the evil lords Inside and around the walls of Zulula, three evil lords are each developping an army to take control of Zulula (and the money gained each year by the tournament). They are: The protoplasmic horror Shar-Ooz: Shar-Ooz is one of the highest military officer of the Shugtar-Shooz army, in short, he is a 16 feet tall slime ready to engulf you! The Giant Skeleton Kiro: Kiro is a sergeant of Locmar, the God of Death. He is currently animating the undeads in the cemetary near Zulula. He wields a huge axe that can rip most other monsters out in a few hits. The Storm Giant Sharak Kilman: Kilman is a 18 feet giant. He believes that the giants should rule Akistar as they were before the Great War of Freedom, and Zulula is his first step in the reconquest! See section 5 for more information after you select the characters. 4.4 Information booth You can click on the information booth and ask question to the person there. He will be happy to answer your questions about Zulula! 4.5 Quit: The Guillotine Clicking on the guillotine will exit the game. You will be asked if you are sure before exiting. 5.The game 5.1 Controlling your character To control your character, use the following combination of keys or the joystick, depending on the control you choosed (see "Choosing the controls" for more info) KEYBOARD 1: - UP : Up arrow key - DOWN : Down arrow key - LEFT : Left arrow key - RIGHT : Right arrow key - ATTACK 1: Right shift - ATTACK 2: Ctrl - JUMP : Enter - DEFENCE : Alt KEYBOARD 2: - UP : W - DOWN : X - LEFT : A - RIGHT : D - ATTACK 1: F - ATTACK 2: V - JUMP : R - DEFENCE : Z Joysticks : - UP : Move up - DOWN : Move down - LEFT : Move left - RIGHT : More right - ATTACK 1: Button 1 + Up - ATTACK 2: Button 1 + Middle - JUMP : Button 2 - DEFENCE : Button 1 + Down 4 buttons : - UP : Move up - DOWN : Move down - LEFT : Move left - RIGHT : More right - ATTACK 1: Button 1 (Red) - ATTACK 2: Button 3 (Green) - JUMP : Button 2 (Blue) - DEFENCE : Button 4 (Yellow) Most of the time, one attack will deliver more damages than the other, but will be slower. 5.2 The single fights The goal is simple, beat your opponent senseless and reduce him to a bloody pulp. 5.3 The tournaments Once all 16 participants are chosen (see 4.3.2), the tournament begins. All computer-only fights are resolved automatically, when a fight involving any player occurs, the screen switch to the battlefield, and the player(s) must resolve their battle in the coliseum. The fights occur as a single fight (see above). 5.4 The bashes Once the bash begins, the first four characters of the list enters the arena. In a bash, there are no friend, only foes. The four gladiators battle it out against each other untill one of them falls. When a gladiator dies, it's body is dragged out of the arena, and the next gladiator on the list enters, full of energy. This is where the luck gets into the game, if you get in sooner, you'll have to use a lot of strategy to stay alive all this time, while if you get in late, the task will be much easier. The winner of the bash is the only gladiator left standing after all 20 participants have entered. Because of the extreme danger related to this event, the bash is worth 50 points. 5.5 The evil lords Fights with evil lords are resolved as single fights. WARNING: The evil lords have an extroardinary combination of strength and dexterity that no ordinary contestant has. Only carefull strategy can rid Zulula of these lords! Thank you for playing "Champions Of Zulula", we hope you'll enjoy it!
