                         OVERLORD - AMIGA SUPPLEMENT
                        ===========================
                                          
                                              TYPED BY SHARD - N&B
LOADING AND INSTALLATION

To run Overlord first switch off your Amiga.

Insert the bot disk into the Amigas internal floppy drive and then switch on.

The program will now autoboot and subsequent disks will be requested as needed.

You  may  wish  to  install  Overlord to a hard disk.  To do so load up Workbench,
insert  the  Overlord  boot  disk  into  the  internal floppy drive and select the
Install  icon.    This  will run the hard disk install program, just follow the on
screen instructions to complete the installation.

Once  you  have  installed Overlord just read the instructions given at the end of
the installation process.  These instructions are also copied to the hard drive in
a text file called Read.Me.

MUSIC

To  play  Overlord  with  music you require 1.5 meg of memory.  If you are running
Overlord with less than 1.5 meg then the music will be automatically turned off.

RUNNING OVERLORD

When  you  load Overlord the first screen you see contains a short menu of several
options.

Here is what they do:

CREDITS

The  rolling credits can be exited by pressing the Escape key or clicking with the
right mouse button.

CONFIGURE

This  selection  takes  you  to  a  screen which enables you to change the default
settings.    When  you save the game the configuration settings are also saved, so
that  when  you re-load your saved game the chosen options will act as the default
settings.

For  more  information on the individual configuration setings see page 165 of the
manual

It  is  possible  to  change  the  configuration  later during the game.  However,
changes made during a game will not transfer to your next new game.

SCRAMBLE

Select  scramble  and  you  will  be placed in your aircraft just off the coast of
Northern Cherbourg.

When  you  have  completed  your  mission  you can return to your base at Tangmere
where,  after  you  have landed, you will be treated as a new pilot starting a new
game.   For more information on flying your aircraft, weapons and combat see pages
117 - 146 of the main manual.

LOAD GAME

This  option  reloads a previously saved game.  Games can be saved by going to the
Gatehouse from the Tangmere screen.

NEW GAME

This  option  takes  you  to the main Tangmere menu screen to begin a new Overlord
game.

For more information on this menu see page 148 of the main manual.

SAVING THE GAME

Please  note  that  if  you are running Overlord from floppy disks you will need a
pre-formatted  disk  to save your game to.  This disk needs to be called USER.  We
recommend  that  you  create  two  save  game  disks.  By using two disks you will
minimise  the  chance  of  losing  your saved games should one become corrupted or
unusable.
