1. Objective
-----------------------

    Goal: ASCII Striker is a "quick time event" version of soccer/association football or hockey for one or two players.  It is inspired by the electro-mechanical, sports arcade games of the 1960s.  Play in any for the following leagues:
      FIFA (FIFA World Cup)
      EPL (English Premier League)
      La Liga (Spanish Premier League)
      Bundesliga (German Premier League)
      Serie A (Italian Premier League)
      MLS (American Premier League)
      Brasileiro Seria A (Brazil Premier League)
      86 World Cup (Legenday Hand of God games)
      MLS (American Major League Soccer)
      IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation)
      NHL (National Hockey League)
      AHL (American Hockey League)
      SHL (Elitserien / Svenska hockeyligan and HockeyAllsvenskan)
      KHL (Kontinental Hockey League)



-----------------------
2. Rules
-----------------------

    Select the file labeled with your desired soccer/football league.  There are two one player skill levels: EASY and HARD.  Select your team using the FUNCTION keys and enter the randomized, one-player playoff tournament.  You may also opt for a two player exhibition match.
    
    As a fooseball-style soccer/football/hockey game, the rules are simplified.  You control a six man team attempting to advance the ball/puck to the opponents goal.  You have to outscore your opponent by pressing the appropriate key above the ball.  The goal keepers for each team are computer controlled.

-----------------------
3. Controls
-----------------------

    SPACE key starts the game or advances to the next screen in game.

    One of three arrows will appear at random above the ball: LEFT, UP, and RIGHT.

    Player one (left side): Z X C for LEFT, UP, and RIGHT respectively.

    Player two (right side): , . / for LEFT, UP, and RIGHT respectively in two player mode.

-----------------------
4. Tips
-----------------------

    Team kit/jersey colors can be adjusted by pressing the FUNCTION keys before a match begins.

    The default control keys can be altered in line 2 of the program listing below.

    Leagues can be created or modified by selecting the "editor" option in the menu.

-----------------------
5. Set Up
-----------------------

    This program is only for the UNEXPANDED VIC 20. Be sure no RAM expansion is connected.  This program functions with keyboard alone.  The zip file contains both PRG and WAV format files.
    
    EMULATOR: To play this program on emulator, simply open the PRG file in the emulator using the emulator's instructions. Be sure the settings are for NO RAM EXPANSION. I recommend checking the Denial forum for current and preferred emulators and emulator settings.
    
    DISK DRIVE or SD CARD: To play via disk or SD card, transfer the PRG file to your storage media unaltered.  Follow the instructions of the media device to load the program to the Vic 20 computer.
