H Welcome to Shift Zone, A Door Game by Mike Snyder! HFirst of all, Shift Zone is designed to make you use your brain. It is aHpuzzle game, and the point behind it is to make
9Hyou think. Initially, it mayHbe tough to figure out how to play it.1HOnce you do, you may find it fun andHaddictive! Some of the puzzles you'll encounter are extremely tough, whileHothers are fairly easy.H
H About the Puzzles in Shift Zone: 1H Shift Zone is expandable. It can hold up to 24 different sets of puzzles1H(called AreaSets). Each of these AreaSets will have from 1 to 10 levels
72H, and1Heach Level contains 9 different puzzles. Shift Zone includes one AreaSet by1Hdefault, and it is called ShiftZone - OriginalSe
51Ht. This AreaSet should get1Hyou started. As more are released, your Sysop can easily install them to1Hgive you more AreaSets (lots more puzzles) to solve.5HWhile solving these puzzles, you can gain a high score and be
67Hadded to the1HShift Zone score board where other players can admire and envy your superior1Hintellect!1H Press any key to continue, Please 1H

H Master Menu Options H From the Master Menu, you can do several things:H(B)egin/Continue AreaSet - This lets you sele
6Hct an AreaSet to play. YourH progress in each AreaSet is always saved, so when you select this option,H you will continue the AreaSet at the Level you left off, with any completedH puzzles already blanked out. This way, you
7H can keep playing, day afterH day, until you finally solve the complete AreaSet.1H(R)estart (Erase a Save) - Sometimes you might not want to continue an AreaSet1H where you left off. For instance, if yo
44Hu know how to solve the first level1H of the AreaSet, you can Restart that AreaSet and solve those levels one4Hafter another so you'll gain a high score!1H(S)ee the Score Board - How does your high score

1H When you are ready to start playing, press (B) to begin and choose the1HAreaSet of your choice. You will then get to pick one of the puzzles for1Hwhichever Level of the areaset you have reached. You can play any of the 91Hper

H Playing The Game H After you select an AreaSet to play, then choose a puzzle in that AreaSetHto play, the Play area will pop up for that
5Hpuzzle.H The object of the game is to "shift" each of the zones in the puzzle toHPhase 1. A bar on the right side of the play area shows the progressionHcolors. Gray is Phase 1. You will complete the puzzle once you have shif
5HtedHeach zone (colored rectangle) on the screen to Phase 1.1H Each zone is tagged, in the upper-left corner, with a letter. By pressing1Hthe appropriate letter, you will shift this zone. When you shift a zone, it1Hphases
8Hdown. If Zone A is in Phase 3, shifting it will put it into Phase 2.1HShift it again to put it into Phase 1, at which point that zone is finished.1H Sounds easy, right?5HHeh Heh Heh.... well I did forget to mention one little d

H Playing The Game (continued) H Each time you shift a zone, every zone it touches shifts as well. So ifHzones B and C are touching Zone A, and you shi
7Hft Zone A, Zones B and C willHshift as well.H Still not seeing the difficulty?H When any zone reaches Phase 1, it becomes unstable. This means that you1Hcan't shift it past Phase 1, plus you can't shift any that it touc
67Hhes because1Hdoing that would shift it past Phase 1. So if Zone B touches Zone A, and1HZone A is at Phase 1, you can't shift Zone B because to do so would destroy1HZone A, and you would loose the game.24HB▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

H Playing The Game (continued) H Normally, zones won't be lined up nice and neat, and there many be asHmany as 26 zones (of different sizes) in the puz
9Hzle. Finding the solution toHshift all the zones to Phase 1 without destroying any in the process canHsometimes be pretty tricky.H Tips, Help, and Hints
1H First of all, you can shift a Zone more than one time. In some puzzles,1Hthe solution may be to shift a single zone 2 or 3 times, and all other zones1Honce or no times at all. It may take several times to play a given puzzle1H
1Hbefore you figure it out.1H Unless you're just so brilliant it hurts, you won't pick up on how to1Hplay the first time. This is probably because you've tried to play before1Hyou read these instructions... and sometimes because
54Hit's just tough to play.1HGive it time and you'll get the hang of it.1H To get you started, the solution to the first AreaSet, Level 1, Puzzle 1,1His to press these Zones once each: A,B,F,G,D,I. That should get you started.
