GAME SELECTION: Euro Football Chamo gives you the options of a one-player game, a two-player game (competition) or a two-player game (cooperative) Press fire to select your country once the title screen is displayed. Push the joystick left or right to scroll the flag of the country you wish to represent into the white highlight at the bottom of the flag circle. For the 2-player game, player two should press fire to join in at this stage to select his team. 1-PLAYER GAME: If only one fire button is pressed, you will play alone against a series of computer teams of increasing skill. You must beat each of these to go to the next. 2-PLAYER COMPETITION: Ensure that the two teams selected are DIFFERENT. You will now play a series of two player games with these two countries against each other. 2-PLAYER COOPERATIVE: Pick the SAME team. You will now play a series of games, with player 1 and player 2 ON THE SAME SIDE. The computer will automatically assign control between the players as the match is played. Together you will play against a series of computer teams of gradually increasing skill. You must beat each of these to go on to the next. Press fire again to confirme the country. now the player has the opportunity to play his star player - this player has greater skill, stamina and speed than normal players. Now select the duration of the game by pressing the joystick UP and DOWN until the desired time is displayed. Press fire to start the match. If you press fire without moving the joystick your match will automatically set for 15 minutes. CONTROLS: The player under control has a coloured arrow pointing in the direction the team is kicking and a "1P" (player 1) or "2P" (player 2) above his head. Use the 8 directions on the joystick to move our player around the pitch. The fire button is used in two different ways - SINGLE PRESS and DOUBE PRESS. Single press is just a short press and release of the fire button. Double press requires two such presses in quick succession - this requires a little practice but is soon picked up. WHEN OUR PLAYER HAS THE BALL: SINGLE PRESS: this executes a low, fast kick DOUBLE PRESS: this executes a lob kick WHEN YOUR PLAYER DOES NOT HAVE THE BALL: SINGLE PRESS: this executes a legal sliding tackle DOUBLE PRESS: this executes an illegal tackle. Punch (close range) or jump kick (long range) WHEN YOUR GOALKEEPER HAS COLLECTED THE BALL: SINGLE PRESS: this executes a drop kick in the direction of the joystick DOUBLE PRESS: this executes a throw-out in the direction of the joystick KEYBOARD CONTROLS: P - Pause ON/OFF Z - Zoom mode disable/enable (while paused) Q - Quit back to title screen (while paused) GAME FEATURES: SCREEN DISPLAY: At the top of the screen are displayed a scanner showing pitch positions, scores and country flags, the game clock, and in each top corner, an identifier showing the number of the player currently under control for each team (this displays the face of your star player when he is under control) TRICK SHOTS: Euro Football Champ features diving headers, back heel kicks and overhead kicks (bicycle kicks). These are all activated automatically. DIVING HEADERS: They occur when the ball is kicked forward but is OFF the groundand a little way in front of the player. BACK HEELS: They occur when a player kicks the ball backwards (press fire and move joystick simultaneously) and the ball is ON the ground. BICYCLE KICKS: They occur when a player kicks the ball backwards (press fire and move joystick simultaneously) and the ball is OFF the ground. REFEREE: Euro Football Champ has a referee who insists on fair play. However, he is rather slow and clumsy, and sometimes has trouble keeping up with the action. If you commit an illegal tackle and the referee is close and sees the offence, a foul will be awarded and a yellow card will be issued to the offending player. If the same player commits a second offence in the game he will be given a red card and sent off for the remainder of the game. THROW-INS: The player must wait for the referee to arrive before selecting direction and press fire. FREE KICKS: Your player can select a direction and take a lobbed free kick. CORNERS: Select a direction for the kick and press fire. PENALTIES: Select a direction for the penalty and press fire. HALF-TIME: The game will pause, and then restart with the teams playing from the other ends. ZOOM: Euro Football Champ features a unique zoom mode for special moments during the game. This feature may be switched off permanently if you prefer.
