<p>From the dark reaches of space he came - more a legend than a man. His courage was extraordinary and his prowess incredible. No job was too difficult, no mission too dangerous, (no plot too stupid) that he couldn't be relied upon to win through.</p>
<p>So it's a bit of a shame that he was on holiday when the call came through that the oxygen plant was in trouble - and the only person handy was your good self. The antigrav craft the sea base used for the last set of implausible missions was dragged out of storage and the boffins strapped you in with a quick briefing.</p>
<a name="L0003"></a>
<h4>The Briefing</h4></p>
<p>All the underwater accomodation on Earth relies on various filtration units scattered around the ocean for oxygen but these have been knocked out of sync by earthquakes (or possibly very fat fish) and need to be re-engaged <cite>right now.</cite> Or sooner! You must navigate the battered old relic from <strong>AntiGrav 1</strong> around various underwater caverns, landing on the filtration units to get them working again. (?!)</p>
<p>The antigrav craft is fairly watertight (you won't drown for, oh, ages - probably) but if it hits any walls the generator will implode and you'll get turned into crispy deep-fried fish paste. You have three lives to begin with and resetting a filter will ensure you have at least two if you are running out. You get an extra life for completing a level. But lives run out very quickly. So learn how to operate the boosters.</p>

<h4>The Boosters</h4></p>
<p>Your ship can fly left, right and up at a fairly slow rate for careful navigation but has vertical boosters to help you get around a little quicker. Don't get impatient and use these all the time or you'll soon end up picking your organs off the ocean floor. The boosters and other electronic doodads are controlled with various buttons.</p>
<tr><td>P</td><td> - </td><td>Pause the frenetic action. </td></tr>
<tr><td>Space</td><td> - </td><td>Resume after Pause</td></tr>
</table>
<p>When paused <strong>Q</strong> and <strong>S</strong> will switch sound On and Off respectively and <strong>K</strong> and <strong>J</strong> will switch betweee Keys and Joystick. If you enter a variation on the word <strong>'MAPS'</strong> as a password (this cheat is useful if you're a big girl's blouse) you can press <strong>M</strong> when paused for a map of the level that shows the filters.</p>

<h3><center>AntiGrav 2 Editor</center></h3>
<a name="L0007"></a>
<h4>Introduction</h4></p>
<p>If through some fluke you should happen to complete AntiGrav's nine levels, you might want to design your own.</p>
<p>Of course you don't have to design all nine levels at once. You can edit any of the levels seperately providing you have the password for the level above it. (If you complete the game you get a special password for editing level nine which may also have other special properties. Or not.)</p>
<a name="L0008"></a>
<h4>Starting the Editor</h4></p>
<p>The editor will ask you for the highest password you know but you can press return if you just want to edit level 1. Then it will display the main menu.</p>
<a name="L0009"></a>
<h4>Main Menu</h4></p>
<p>Has various obvious options. You can load or save a level, or make one from scratch in order to save it over another level. The editor will ask which graphic style you want. The four choices are</p>
<ol>
<li> <strong>Lapis Lazuli</strong> - a light turquoise stone
<li> <strong>Purple agate</strong> - looks a little like material
<li> <strong>Dark granite</strong> - a cold dark blue colour
</ol>
<p>You can also set the ship's start position to the cursor's current position and room as well as change the password and level description.</p>
<p>The Overview option slowly maps out the level and displays the number of filter units on that level.</p>
<a name="L0010"></a>
<h4>Room Menu</h4></p>
<p>Store and paste are for copying rooms.</p>
<p>Clear will clear to the current tile and 2x2 will clear to the current tile and the three surrounding it. This only make sense for certain tiles that join up to form a pattern.</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Water Clear</strong> - will make a random water background.<br>
<li> <strong>Rand All Water</strong> - will randomise all the water on the level.<br>
<li> <strong>Water Blocks Menu</strong> - Has all the water tiles including the plant fronds and various other features. All the things in this menu can be moved over by the ship.<br>
<li> <strong>Edge Blocks Menu</strong> - All the edge tiles (can also be accessed with the numeric keypad if NumLock is on) plus the filter units.<br>
<li> <strong>Wall Blocks Menu</strong> - The tiles that make up the basic walls plus some extra tiles to add a little (ha ha) variety to the walls.<br>
<li> <strong>Edge Features Menu</strong> - The edges need to meet up at various points in order to look nice. These tiles do that, as well as providing the tiles the filter sits on and various other variations on the normal edge tiles.<br>
<li> <strong>Extras Menu</strong> - Has some more feature tiles for the various level designs to add even more variety to the walls.<br>
<li> <strong>Graphics Set Menu</strong> - F8 allows the choice between graphics sets 1-4.<br>
<tr><td>F7</td><td> </td><td>Extra (even more tiles)</td><tr>
<tr><td>F8</td><td> </td><td>Choose graphic set (1-4)</td><tr>
<tr><td>H</td><td> </td><td>Help screen, displays all the keys.</td><tr>
<tr><td>C</td><td> </td><td>2 by 2 dump. Useful for certain wall features such as large radiation signs.</td><tr>
<tr><td>A</td><td> </td><td>Automatic edit mode. The program will try to guess the appropriate edge tiles for you. The title bar will change from red to yellow when this mode is on and some features and tiles can't be placed in this mode.</td><tr>
<tr><td>Numerical keypad</td><td> </td><td>The edge blocks arranged in a square for speedy access. Needs NumLock turned on.</td><tr>
