MAIN MENU

        After you have loaded the game and the introduction is completed, the
        Main Menu will appear with the following choices:

                Start Game
                Continue
                Disk Storage
                Sample Game

                To begin a new game:

                        1. Select START GAME on the main menu. You will be
                           instantly transported to the beginning of the
                           adventure.
                           Note: Selecting START GAME erases any game you
                                 may currently be playing, unless you have
                                 saved that game on a disk (see DISK STORAGE).

        CONTINUE

                To return to your game:

                        Select CONTINUE if you want to return to your game
                        without using other menu options.

        DISK STORAGE

                To save or reload a game:

                        Alice in Wonderland, like most adventures, may take
                        more than a day to complete. You can create a storage
                        disk to save a game in progress and then return to,
                        or restore, that game at some later time. See the
                        CREATE note below for help in preparing a storage disk.

                        After selecting Disk Storage, the following sub-menu
                        will appear:
                                SAVE    RESTORE    CREATE    RETURN TO MENU
                        Move the cursor to the item of your choice and select.

                     1. SAVE  After selecting SAVE, the following message will
                        appear:    GAME  1  2  3  4  5
                        Each number represents a location on your storage disk
                        where you can save a game. Move the cursor onto a
                        number and select. Follow the prompts on the screen.
                        Your game will be saved as that number. Follow the
                        prompts to return to the game, or shut your computer
                        off if you prefer to return to the game at a later
                        time.
                        Note:  You cannot save more than 5 games per storage
                        disk. If you try to save more than 5 games on the same
                        disk, an existing one will be erased.

                     2. RESTORE  After selecting RESTORE, the following message
                        will appear:  GAME   1  2  3  4  5
                        Move the cursor to the number you wish to load and
                        select. Follow the prompts on the screen. The game you
                        had previously saved at that number will load and you
                        can begin playing.

                     3. CREATE  After selecting CREATE, follow the prompts to
                        prepare a blank disk so that it can be ready for use as
                        a storage disk.

                     4. RETURN TO MENU  If you can't figure this one out, hang
                        it up!

        SAMPLE GAME

CONVERSATION

        It is important to talk to the people of Wonderland to get clues. You

        times a character will tire of your persistance, and ask you to come
        back later.
        Riddles: If you ask a character a question, he or she may respond by
        offering you a riddle. For example, the caterpillar may state:
        It sits above the crown, though queens never wear it. It is a _ _ _ 
        _ _ _. Type your answer in the blanks using the keyboard. Then press
        the Return Key. If you answer the riddle correctly, the character
        offers a clue that helps you in the adventure.
        Songs: You acquire a song when a character sings it to you. Singing a
        song may have a pleasent effect on a character.

IMPORTANCE OF TIME

        The adventure continues for 65 games days. Days used are indicated in
        the lower right corner of the Option menu. Twelve Wonderland hours
        equals one game day. You may keep track of Wonderland hours by the
        various clocks scattered throughout Wonderland.
        You will also want to keep track of time because the characters may
        not like the conversation and ask you to come back at a specific time
        to continue.
        Then again some characters appear only at certain times.
        Finally, certain doorways work only at certain times.
