Test Match
==========

Introduction
------------
The number one cricket simulation converted for the Acorn Electron, this cassette contains two programs. The first is a full five day test. The second is a World Cup match. Each program includes a full scoreboard and all the thrills of our national game.

Instructions
------------
The cassette contains the following:

SIDE 1
(A) Instructions, (B) Test Match, (C) Data for eight teams

SIDE 2
(A) World Cup Cricket, (B) Data for eight teams, (C) Team Selector program

All programs should be loaded using CHAIN"". Once loaded the tape should be stopped and the choice of teams made. Once this has been done, the tape should be restarted to alow the program to read in the teams. The team selector program should also be loaded using CHAIN "TEAMS". This program contains full instructions for use on-screen.

The team selector program allows you to make a tape with your own player names for use in either of the games, if you don't want to use the teams already contained on this tape.
