Ok, now you have probably seen about 2 or 3 versions of the game Space
Rogue...The one to have is the one that is: Space.RG1.WORKS. All the other
versions of the game will crash on you. The Mad Meister found the problem
and fixed it.
P l a y e r R e f e r e n c e C a r d
You begin the game in the deep space of the Karonus star system.
Follow these steps to read the nearest star base.
1) Plot a course. Press N for navigation mode, then use the joystick or
jeyboard to select the CHART command. Press RETURN or a joystick
button. Move the cursor across the map of the Karonus star system
until you find Hiathra Starbase: the green square symbol at
coordinates 13,19. Press RETURN of joystick button.
2) Select the HELM command. Autopilot will guide your ship to the new
coordinates.
3) If a ship attacks you on the way, the journey stops. Select COCKPIT
to fight the battle. Press T to target the enemy, and the space bar
or joystick buttons to fire a weapon. Consult the next section for
other commands.
4) After your ship arrives at its destination, (sector 13,19), select
COCKPIT to return to the space view. If you haven't done so already,
press T to activate your targeting computer. It displays the range
and direction to the star base. Move you ship so that the arrows on
edge of your viewscreen are centered and point inward. The starbase
should appear onscreen as two pyramids connected by a light-colored
axle. To dock, slowly maneuver your ship to touch the axle.
5) At the base, walk around, talk to everyone you meet, and buy some
cargo. To leave the base, return to your ship. You're on your way...

Troubleshooting
If the game fails to load or save, make sure your computer and disk
drive are plugged in, turned on, and connected properly (NO SHIT!).
Re-insert the disk, in the proper drive. Try again.
If you are saving a game, read the section on "Saving the Game", dummy.
If nothing works, try getting another kracked copy of the game, and
trying that, if that doesn't work, YOU'RE UP SHIT'S CREEK, WITHOUT A
PADDLE!
