Help on docs for an obscure games

[chris_charla]

I recently picked up CBS Software's Halftime Battlin' Bands for 400/800. In addition to being one of the weirdest concepts ever for a videogame, it is also pretty unplayable.

 

Does anyone have the docs that that could either scan or just paraphrase? You seem to win by picking up notes and placing them on the lines on the field. But what do the icons do? Some you can throw, some you can't, and one you can seem to place on your own line, making the game un-winnable.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Never heard of it but found a short test of the C64 version:

 

"Play by yourself or against a rival to assemble your halftime marching band on the field and play out the tunes. Plenty of tricks and traps can be used to help yourself or hinder your opponent. Plus you get extra points for getting the proper tunes out of the musicians. Decent graphics and sound, and hard to get to grips with initially."

Actually amazingly I do. I'll try and scan those in the next day or two.
