		CoCo Power Software
	proudly presents its first release:

		--->Ghost Saga<---

			.v1

This mini game was designed to showcase the power of the TRS-80 Color Computer 1/2. I may expand it in the future to include more levels.

Thank you to my continued supporters and The CoCo Nation for supporting my YouTube channel.

TRS-80 Retro Programing

			Joystick.

Self-centering joystick with single button or equivalent required.

	<Left> moves character left
	<Right> moves character right.

	<Button>
1. swing battle axe

			Emulation.

TRS80GP is highly recommended.

Insert the following disk image: Ghost Saga-CoCo Power Software.dmk. If you are using other emulators or a real Coco with a CocoSDC, use GHSTSAGA.DSK.

			Speed POKEs.

DO NOT use speed POKEs. Using any speed POKE will corrupt the game.

ADDENDUM BY L. CURTIS BOYLE: You *can* use a speed POKE, but you need to be careful (particularly if running from a real floppy drive). You must do the slow down POKE before accessing disk or cassette again, or it may corrupt the disk. Also, music will be pitched higher. But the game will run faster/smoother.
On a Coco 1/2:
  POKE 65495,0 to speed up BASIC.
  POKE 65494,0 to slow it back to normal.
On a Coco 3:
  POKE 65497,0 to speed up BASIC.
  POKE 65496,0 to slow it back to normal.
  Also, if you are playing on a Coco 3 with an RGB monitor attached, type RGB before running to get the proper colors.

			Loading.

After inserting disk image, type RUN "G*SAGA" and hit <ENTER>.

Game is self loading.

			Gameplay.

Ghost Saga is a 1 level action, adventure, puzzle-solving game. You will have to use your own intuition on how to proceed. However, the main goal is to raise the flag which appears on screen 3.

Have fun.
