1. LOADING
C128 must be in C64 mode. Insert disk into drive with label up and type
LOAD":*",8,1
Replace 8 with your device number if necessary. The game will start
automatically.
Some OS configurations and devices such as IDE64 will not support
autostarting. In this case type instead:
LOAD"HESSIAN*",8
RUN

The game's inbuilt fastloader supports 1541, 1571, 1581, CMD FD, CMD HD
and IDE64 devices. The VICE emulator can be used with "True drive
emulation" either on or off; off is recommended for fastest loading speed.
In case the game fails to load, hold down SPACE or FIRE after the load
command until the screen turns blue (fallback mode without fastloader.) For
the best experience, it is recommended to play Hessian from a fastloader
compatible device.

If an io error occurs, you will be notified. If that happens, press fire
to retry.

2. SCENARIO
Take the role of Kim, a low-clearance security guard working a permanent
night shift (on her request) at the Throne Group Science Complex. One night,
she wakes up inside a cargo container converted to an improvised emergency
operating room. All she remembers are multiple unknown hostiles firing at the
staff, heavy rounds hammering into her chest and everything going black, then
finally the shouted words filtering into her consciousness: "Massive trauma..
Need artificial circulation.. Prepare the nanobot injection now!"

3. CONTROLS
Use joystick in port 2. Once the game has loaded, press FIRE to enter the
main menu. Press UP & DOWN to move and FIRE to select. The OPTIONS
sub-menu allows to choose the skill level as well as to turn music or sound
effects on / off.

In intro and dialogue scenes, press FIRE to proceed to next page or line.

In game, controls without FIRE pressed are used for movement:

        Jump left       Climb / Operate      Jump right
                             \|/
        Move left            -+-             Move right
                             /|\
        Roll left   Duck / Climb / Pick up   Roll right

To attack, press FIRE and direction. Note that all weapons (for example a
heavy minigun) may not be able to attack into all directions.

To select the current weapon or item, hold FIRE for about half a second until
the item name and selection arrows appear on the text window at the screen
bottom. While holding FIRE, press now LEFT or RIGHT to select, or DOWN to
use item or reload weapon.

(Items that can be used: medkit, battery, and other tools encountered later in
the game.)

To enter pause menu, hold FIRE for more than one second.

When you stand next to an object that can be operated, an arrow will flash.
These include doors, equipment closets, switches and computer terminals.
Press UP to operate. Entering a door needs holding UP for roughly half a
second.

Some objects present an interaction menu either in the text window (press
DOWN to exit) or a fullscreen display (follow onscreen instructions.)

When you have reached your weapon capacity (initially max. 3) and pick up
another, the one in your hands will be dropped.

To attack while ducking, it is easiest to use the following sequence: first
press DOWN to duck, then hold down FIRE while also still holding DOWN. Now 
you can release DOWN and push the joystick to the attack direction.

To go up stairs, hold UP first before moving LEFT or RIGHT. You can also
jump onto stairs.

To perform a "wall-flip" jump, first jump toward a wall, then push the joystick
diagonally UP to the opposite direction (e.g. UP+LEFT when the wall is on the
right) at the moment of hitting the wall.

The following keyboard shortcut controls can also be used.

, .          Select item
R            Reload weapon or use item
H            Heal (use medkit)
B            Use battery
RUN/STOP     Enter pause menu

4. STATUS
The status bar is always displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The upper row from left to right: score - text window - current item and
ammunition left. For firearms, the ammunition display is divided into rounds in
magazine, and amount of spare magazines.

The lower row contains health and battery meters. The space in the bottom
center is used to display oxygen and armor status when necessary.
Due to the nanotechnological emergency surgery performed on her, Kim has
gained the ability to regenerate health automatically. This (as well as any
actions except standing still) drains battery power. Health regeneration shuts
down at 25% battery power. At 0% her circulation will shut down!

The skill level affects how much enemy attacks will deplete health & armor.
When the screen flashes black, you have entered a poisonous or too hot
room, and health will constantly deplete. Do not stay longer than necessary!

5. SAVING & CONTINUING
By selecting SAVE & END in the pause menu, the game will return to the title
screen and prompt you to choose a save slot out of five available. After
saving, use the CONTINUE GAME option in the main menu to choose the slot
to continue from.

Note that the skill level is not carried in the game saves, but can be adjusted
from the OPTIONS sub-menu separately. A high skill level used throughout the
game gives a higher victory bonus at the conclusion of the mission compared
to a lower skill level.

Use the RETRY option in the pause menu to restart from the last entered
room. This can be used both when alive and after being defeated.

6. HINTS & TIPS
Do not let the battery power fall low! Extra batteries can be collected from
equipment closets, and destroyed enemies might also drop them.
Expect a certain degree of realism - your own explosive weapons (grenades
etc.) can hurt you, as does falling from high places.

Enemies have a certain distance range in which they will fire at you. Either
surprise them from far away, or close the distance so that they are unable to
target you. The latter approach works best with melee weapons, which do not
require ammunition (though hitting drains more battery than firing.)

Certain nanotechnological upgrades increase the amount of weapons and
ammunition that can be carried, but all upgrades have the cost of increased
battery drain.

Pay attention to what the friendly characters tell you, and to their well-being,
as this may be vital for the success of your mission.
Good luck!
