-
- Before I start the doc, I would like to tell you a little bit about
- Steve Bye. If anyone has heard of F1
- Software/Licenceware/Shareware, then chances are that you already
- know who Steve Bye is.
-
- Both Steve and his wife Belinda are the proprietors of F1 Software
- and good friends of mine and really nice and honest peeps to boot.
-
- Before Steve founded F1, he used to own his own computer shop and
- even before that, he was a commercial programmer for some of the
- classic platforms of yesteryear such as the C64, Amstrad and the
- dear old (and much loved) Spectrum.

-
- LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
-
- Type LOAD "" and press ENTER. If using 128K Spectrum, select 48K
- Basic. (pah! who needs that lot?)
-
-
- CLASSIC TRAINER II
- The follow up to our first release, Classic Trainer, Trainer II
- takes all the best features and improves on them, resulting in a
- highly playable stable management simulation.
-
- The object of the game is to build a stable of horses to maximum
- class and fitness; along the way, this will involve winning as many
- races as possible, in order to collect prize money with which you
- can consolidate and improve your position, by training and buying
- new horses.
-
-
- STABLE SCREEN
- This shows your current stable of horses and their statistics;
-
- FORM: How they have performed in their last six races - this will
- reset to zero each season.
-
- DIS: The distance over which the horse will run best.
-
- G: The going which best suits the horse. S=Soft F=Firm
-
- CLA: Class (0-100)
-
- FIT: Fitness (0-100)
-
- From this screen, press S for STATUS SCREEN, O for OPTIONS SCREEN,
- T for TRAINING MENU or press R for RACES.
-
-
- OPTIONS SCREEN
- Options include save and load game, edit names and the opportunity
- to change the character set.
-
-
- TRAINING MENU
- Mentions are given only to items which need some explanation.
-
-
- WORK OUT
- These can be used to improve the fitness of your horses. All
- uninjured horses participate and their fitness will increase or
- (sometimes) decrease with training. If overtrained, a horse may
- become totally unfit or even injured. Obviously, the fitter a
- horse is, the better chance it will have in a race. Any number of
- workouts may be done in a week (limited by your bank balance), but
- once you have left the screen, you may not return that week!
-
-
- SELL HORSE
- If you want to strengthen your position by buying better horses,
- you have to sell to make space first.
-
-
- RETIRE TO STUD
- Another way to create space in the stable is to retire a horse;
- this will bring you in a weekly stud fee, the size of which depends
- on the horse's attributes and record.
-
-
- JOCKEYS
- You can improve your chances in the races by hiring a better
- jockey.
-
-
- VISIT STUD FARM
- (Week 1 only) Each season you are given the opportunity to sire a
- colt, which will be available to join your stable the following
- season.
-
-
- THE RACES
- When you have completed your training for the week. select RACES.
- You will then be given the opportunity to enter up to six selected
- races, details of which will be shown. A horse cannot be entered
- in a race of lower class; for example, a horse of class 25 can only
- enter races of class 25 or higher.
-
-
- A horse winning or coming second will improve its class; entering a
- race of a much higher class could result in a horse over-stretching
- itself and becoming injured, which results in a drop in class.
-
- Entry fees for each race are 10% of the prize money.
-
- When all races are completed, the week is over, and you are given a
- financial report.
-
- On the last week of each season, you will be offered the chance to
- enter the classic races.

- PS It's a pity that the snapshot doesn't show you the loading
- digi-pic! Yeah, a digi-pic on the Speccy! Who would have thought it
- possible? I'll maybe try and grab the image soon! In fact, I'll
- do that right now and include it for ya all to see (prepare to be
- amazed! Err, maybe not!)
-
- I'll ask Steve to send me his cassette of The Manager to snapshot
- and I think that will be all six of Steve's Speccy games released
- once again. Look out for it soon...
-
- Bye...
