v1.0

Doomsday Lost Echoes (DDLE) is a graphical text adventure. The player, you, 
uses text input to control the game and the computer reveals what is happening
via text output. At the same time, the computer displays an image of the
current location. We encourage you to read to manual in detail before playing.

In this RAR you can find the game manual in PDF and the two floppy images
in DSK format that contain all the files of the adventure. We have also 
included the images in HFE format in case you want to use them with a HxC 
floppy emulator or a similar device. 

Thank you so much for playing, we hope you will enjoy our little adventure!

All the team.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

DDLE comes in 2 floppy disc images. The floppy 1 (ddle_1.dsk) is a standard
Amstrad  CPC image, it can be burnt to a 3” or 3.5” floppy. The second one 
(ddle_2.dsk) is a high density floppy disc image with a capacity of 720KB and 
therefore requires a drive able to read it and a 3.5” disc if you decide to 
burn it. It contains the adventure and it is used to store your saved games 
as well, make sure that it is not write protected. To load the game you need 
to use these images with an emulator or burn them and use a real Amstrad.

If you are using a real Amstrad and it has two drives, introduce the discs you
burnt from the DSK files on them. Make sure that the floppy 1 (ddle_1.dsk) is 
in the drive A and the floppy 2 (ddle_2.dsk) is in the drive B. Then, type 
RUN”DISC. The game will load automatically and you will be presented with a 
font selection menu. Choose the font you prefer to play the adventure (your 
selection will be remembered) and wait for the game to load. As said before, 
you can also use any kind of compatible floppy disc drive emulator instead of 
real floppies.

If your Amstrad only has only floppy drive it needs to be a high density one, 
an HxC or a similar device. Introduce the side A of floppy 1 on the drive and 
type RUN”DISC. Wait for the CP/M to load and choose the in-game font. The 
computer will congure now the drive B and try to switch to it automatically. 
However, since you only have one drive, there will be an error. When this happens
exchange floppy 1 for floppy 2 and type B:. Once you see the prompt “B>” type 
DOOMSDAY.The game will load automatically.

If you decide to use an emulator, congure it to have 128KB and two floppy drives. 
Then follow the same steps as if you had the real machine with two drives.
