Reference Card Amiga
--------------------------------------
Getting Started
You Need:
- An Amiga computer with at least 512K
- Single disk drive
- A color monitor or TV
A mouse or joystick is optional.
Loading Instructions
1. If you are using a joystick, make sure that the mouse is plugged into
Port 1 and the joystick is plugged into Port 2.
2. Turn on your monitor or TV and the computer. If necessary, insert
Kickstart 1.2 into the disk drive.
3. When you are prompted for the Workbench disk, insert the Willow disk,
label side up, into the disk drive.
4. The program will load automatically.
The Controls
Willow can be played using any one of three control devices-mouse,
joystick, or keyboard. A general description of each is given below.
Detailed instructions for each game follow.
Mouse
The mouse is normally used to drive a small, wand-shaped cursor around
the screen. Selections are made by pointing to the choice and pressing
the far left button. Occasionally, specific games may require you to use
the mouse more like a joystick. In these games, simple motions of the
mouse in the direction you wish the on-screen figure to go will do the
trick.
Keyboard
When using the keyboard, you'll have several options. The cursor keys are
always active and map the motions of a joystick.

If you have a separate cursor cluster, you may need to press two keys
simultaneously to cause diagonal movement.

In both cases, the space bar will act as the fire button.
Joystick
The joystick does exactly what you would expect. Moving it in any of the
eight directions causes corresponding movement on the screen. Whenever the
fire button is called for, use button #1. Button #2 is never used in Willow.
Specific Game Controls
Each game in Willow has its own way of using input devices. The following

scroll without making changes.
