SOCCER BOSS
-----------
BRITAIN'S NO 1 FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT GAME
- 4 DIVISIONS FA CUP
- EUROPEAN CUP
- CUP WINNER'S CUP
- FULL GAME SAVE

Ever fancied yourself as the manager of a football team, ever thought "why did
they buy him?", or "he's a useless manager, I could do better than that". Well
now's your chance, test your decision making and managerial skills with
Alternative Softwares' Football Manager game, SOCCER BOSS.

Tips for new managers
Players move in and out of form - so keep an eye on their skill ratings. Take
care in the transfer market - a player with a skill rating of 1 costs £10,000,
but selling him will only earn you £7,500. If an injury crisis strikes, and you
can't afford new players, you can play a goalkeeper out of position - but his
skill level will plummet!

The play time is 10 minutes. At half time the teams change ends. To kick the
ball press the fire button: the longer you keep the fire button depressed before
releasing it - the harder the kick. Persistant fouling of a player will result
in the penalty kick off i.e. The centre kick off by the offended team.
Sometimes, heavy fouling will result in fighting between players and a penalty
is awarded. The goalkeeper can only save a goal by punching it out. To punch the
ball out, press the fire button.

Penalties
A penalty may be awarded if fighting breaks out. The defender signals his
readiness by pressing the fire button. The penalty taker then has 10 seconds to
take the penalty. Move the joystick in the direction you wish to travel and
press the fire button, or use the keyboard controls.
Skillful manoeuvres are possible with either keyboard control or joystick.
Sidewall rebounds may be used to dodge opponents.
