Jason puts on his hockey mask and sharpens his machette, ready for a razor-edged massacre. You must warn everyone that the mad murderer is on the rampage and lead them all to safety - without, of course, losing your head! LOADING INSTRUCTIONS AMSTRAD : CTRL and small ENTER key. COMMODORE : SHIFT RUN/STOP. SPECTRUM : LOAD "". GAMEPLAY A quite holiday camp at Crystal Lake is disturbed when one of the campers, Jason, is drowned. His mother, distraught with grief, blames the other campers who did nothing to help him. She vows revenge and murders all the holiday makers except one girl who kills her. The survivor floats into the middle of the lake where Jason rises from the water, to take his revenge. Jason is still wreaking havoc throughout Crystal Lake when you arrive for a holiday. Your task is to find a safe sanctuary where Jason cannot go and then persuade your friends to gather there. You have to identify Jason! He is a normal player moving around the game until he attacks or is attacked. You are warned about each attack and have a chance to find him, but Jason waits for no man. There are 10 different characters in the game each with pre-set levels of strength, panic and sanity. You are given an identity for each level and at the start of the game you will find yourself either inside the church, the barn or the house. Jason always attacks the person with the highest panic rating so he will chase after your character sooner or later ... Jason reveals his true identity only when you confront him but he kills others on or off the screen! The first level ends when your character kills Jason and the computer will then select a different char- acter for you to play on level two. As Jason stalks around Crystal Lake, he is inclined to be careless and leave some of his weapons lying on the ground. There are 10 weapons and can be picked up by pressing the fire button and used to defend yourself against Jason's attack. Your character should first find the room with the Sanctuary Cross. Pick it up and drop it in the Church, house or barn and --------------------------------------------------------- this then becomes the Sanctuary location. Jason cannot harm anybody there so you must find your friends and tell them to gather there. You do this by walking over them whereupon they immediately head for the Sanctuary location. However, they might get bored and start to wander. It is easy to mistake Jason for a friend and inform him of the location. He will scare every- one away so you have to return and move the cross to another room. GAME CONTROLS AMSTRAD : Use joystick for walking and FIRE button for Pick up. Drop, Use and Exchange.
