sections are best tackled with a keyboard or joystick.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MAIN SCREEN
As usual, this is where the action is. Wil runs from left to right,
throwing his weapons, jumping and crouching to avoid enemy attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEAPON SELECTION SCREEN
This shows the type and number of weapons you are currently carrying.
The missile you are using at the moment is displayed to the right. To
switch between weapons, pull down on your joystick and keep the fire
button pressed. On the keyboard press A and the spacebar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEALTH METER
The red energy bar represents your state of health. It decreases
whenever you take a direct hit. When it reaches zero, you die.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERIOR SECTIONS
The icon control system in the interior exploration section is
identical to the one used in the mazes. Only the main action screen is
different. As in the Parallax sections of the game, you can actually
manoeuvre Wil around the screen. He can walk about exploring the
rooms, avoid other characters, and make his way through passages and
doorways. You can control this part of the adventure directly using
either the joystick or the keyboard, or with the mouse using the
compass at the base of the screen. Since, in this case, they give you
greater flexibility and accuracy of movement, we recommend joystick or
keys.

ADVICE FOR NEW ADVENTURERS
If you've never played a game like Obitus before, you may find yourself
wondering where to start. Here are a few words of advice just in case
you ever find yourself well and truly lost.
* The most important thing to remember is that you're here to explore.
Middlemere is a place of danger and mystery but you won't discover its
secrets unless you seek them out.
* Pick up everything you see - you never know where you could be going
and the most unlikely items may come in useful later on.
* Keep a track of your movements. If you think you're going round in
circles, take note of your compass directions and start to make a map.
* Keep an eye on your energy. Rushing into combat when your health is
very low is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. If you find yourself
suffering a lot under enemy attack it's not always advisable to stand
and fight. Running could be a better option.
* Beware of the unexpected. This is an adventure after all and all
sorts of surprises could be lurking in the bushes or hiding under the
floors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR FIRST STEPS IN MIDDLEMERE
If you're still unsure exactly how to start, this is a short
walk-through for the first few screens of Obitus. If you've played any
kind of adventure before you shouldn't really need a guide and using
it may spoil your fun - read on only if you're genuinely stuck.
Wil Mason's quest begins in a round room with four closed doors. On the
floor in front of your there's a key. Get it using the command icon
PICK, and insert it using the command USE, in the north-west door. If
the key doesn't fit, you're not trying the right door. Keep turning
around until you're actually facing north-west.
When the door opens, elect to Proceed into Falcon Wood. You look out on
to a dark, forbidding forest. Turn once to the west and explore the
path that leads north-west. Keep clicking N on the Compass until you
reach a dead end. Examining the ground and you'll find an apple. When
you pick it up it automatically enters your inventory. You can eat it
if you like, using the EAT command.
You can now explore, pick up objects, and use items from your inventory
- and that's really all you need to know. Now all you've got to do is
find your way about - happy adventuring!

through Falconwood without harm. Be warned, however, that I do not
know everything about the wood, and can travel with you no further
