User manual GAMES PC DOOM II-HELL ON EARTH

[. . . ] TM Welcome to DOOM II, a lightning-fast virtual reality adventure where you are the toughest space trooper ever to suck vacuum. Your mission is to fight your way though the demon-infested earth in the hopes of saving the Earth from an eternity in Hell. This isn't a cumbersome adventure game, but an actionoriented slugathon. To survive all you need is brains and a killer instinct. The Story Continues. . . [. . . ] Pressing the "F" key will toggle Follow mode on and off. TIP: When traveling narrow passages many players have found it useful to examine the Automap in a magnified mode enabling them to see exactly where to step. Controlling The Action Most of the play commands in DOOM II are a simple keypress away. You can use your keyboard, mouse, joystick, and combinations to move, pick up items, shoot, and open doors. MOVING At first, you might find yourself bumping into walls while demons beat on you. Once you've got movement down, everything else follows. USING DOORS, SWITCHES & ELEVATORS To open most doors and operate switches, stand directly in front of them and press the Open Key. Open is initially assigned to the Spacebar but may be changed in the Configuration dialog. PICKING UP STUFF To pick up an object, just walk over it. You're smart, and know if you need to take it. COMPLETING AN AREA At the end of each area in DOOM II there is an exit chamber. Enter this chamber and press the switch inside to exit the area and head onward. When you finish an area, an Achievement Screen tallies your performance. Hidden regions located, ratio of kills, percentage of treasure found, your completion time, and a par completion time are all displayed. ETERNAL LIFE AFTER DEATH If you die, you restart the level at the beginning with a pistol and some bullets. You have no "lives" limit you can keep restarting the level as often as you're killed. The entire level is restarted from scratch, too. Monsters you killed before are back again, just like you. Moving Around Walking: Use the Forward and Backward keys to move in the direction you are facing. Forward is initially assigned to the Up Arrow. Backward is initially assigned to the Down Arrow Key. Turning: The Left and Right keys turn you left and right. Left is initially assigned to the Left Arrow Key. Right is initially assigned to the Right Arrow Key. Running: Hold down the Speed Key and the appropriate arrow key to speed yourself up. [. . . ] The differences between Cooperative and DeathMatch mode are as follows: WHERE YOU START: In Cooperative mode each player begins in the same area. In DeathMatch mode the players begin in completely different areas if you want to see your buddy you'll need to hunt him down. Plus, each time you die, you'll restart in one of several random locations. KEYS: Unlike in single-player or Cooperative mode gameplay, in DeathMatch mode the players start each location with the keys necessary for opening any locked door in that area. [. . . ]
