STARTING A NEW GAME

• The SpaceStationSim disc must be in your drive to play the game. SpaceStationSim runs in full screen mode. Any programs that interrupt its control of the monitor will interfere with the game, so turn off browsers, instant messengers and similar software. It is also a good idea to print these instructions as well as you will not be able to see them and play the game at the same time.
• Double click the SpaceStationSim launcher icon on your desktop.
• In the Launcher screen, you can create a new game, load an existing game, rename an existing game, copy a game, delete a game from your list, import a game to your list and export a game.
• You can also configure your screen resolution and image processing for the capabilities of your computer and video card. As your station grows in size and complexity, an older graphics card may begin running slower. If so, you can then reconfigure to a more appropriate combination of screen resolution and image processing.
• Select New Game from the Main Menu to start a new game.
• In the next screen, name the new game and click OK.
• You will now see the Loading Screen, Opening Movie (enjoy! but if you which to skip the movie, hit the space bar) and then the Game mode.
• Click on Play Game to play a new game, Exit to quit and Credits to see the names of the NASA and Vision Videogames staff who brought this great game to you.
