GALLEONS - SUPER DISK BONUS GAME››BY ALAN CAPESIUS›› You've sailed across the Atlantic›Ocean, through weather both good and›bad! The journey has taken months,›but at last you are approaching your›destination, the New World! On›board, everyone is relaxing, when›suddenly your lookout shouts, "Reef›ahead!" Instantly, all hands assume›their posts and within seconds, your›mighty galleon is turned away from›the reef!›› As you survey the immediate area,›you realize that you have entered›the coral reefs at the east end of›the Caribbean Sea! You must be very›careful to cross these waters›without your hull being damaged!›› But it gets even worse! "Ship›ahoy!" the lookout cries! Then you›see the dot on the horizon! As it›comes closer, a chill grips your›heart -- it's the infamous Red›Scourge, terror of the Atlantic›Coast! His red sails are›unmistakeable! To arms! Ready›cannons! To battle!››SINK THE ENEMY›› Galleons is a neat two-player›game in which you control your ship›with joysticks and try to sink the›enemy ship! Move your ship by›moving the joystick in any of the›four main directions (forward,›backward, left and right)! But be›careful -- don't forget that your›ship is the middle of a bunch of›razor-sharp coral reefs!›› There's coral all around, and›it's not all visible! Running into›a reef will damage your ship and you›may even sink! The counter at the›bottom of the screen shows how much›damage your hull can still take!›› If you absolutely must go into›the coral, you can! But you'll have›to smash through it and suffer the›consequences! At least when you›break down the coral, it's destroyed›and won't do any more damage! The›ship's cannons can smash the coral›at long range, but it may take a few›shots!›› To fire your cannons, just press›the button and move the joystick in›the direction you want to fire! The›amount of damage done by a›cannonball varies according to›distance and angle!›› If you're desparate enough, you›can ram the enemy ship! But›although you'll cause major damage,›your hull will also suffer!›› The bottom of the screen displays›the strength of each ship and the›game speed! There is also an›indicator next to each player's›score that will light when your›cannons are ready to fire!››TO BEGIN› Format a fresh disk with DOS 2 or›DOS 2.5 (remember to WRITE DOS FILES›to this disk)!

Each time you do this the›coral reefs will be drawn randomly,›the ships will be placed in random›positions and the hulls will be›restored to full strength!
