Enter LOAD"" from the keyboard and press play on the cassette recorder. Do not stop the tape until the program has finished loading (approximately 5 minutes for each side). Side One A menu with 5 options is presented. Pressing 1-4 will allow you to practice the rescue of each of Charlie's four companions. When you are confident, select option 5, the GAME option. You will now be given 9 lives with which to rescue Augustus, Violet, Veruca, and Mike in turn. If you succeed you will be given a special code. You will need this code to embark on the spectacular adventure on side two. Side Two - The Chocolate Factory There are two options on the menu. Yu can only select the GAME option if you have the code from side one. Without this code you can only explore the factory in PRACTICE mode. The keys The same keys are used in all five games. 6 - move left 7 - move right 8 - move up 9 - move down 0 - jump (or drop a nut when helping Veruca) Not all the games require all the keys. The keys used in each game are listed at the end of each game description. Using a joystick All the games work with a Kempston Joystick. But always remember to hold down the fire button when selecting an option from the menu. Augustus Gloop Augustus has become a purple blob in one of the sweet machines. By twisting the pipes of the fantastic machine you must steer Augustus into the safety of the bottle (bottom right). But be careful. One false move and Augustus will emerge from an open pipe as a sticky cloud! Move Charlie backwards and forwards and the pipes above him will swing round and change the direction of the flow. You can gain extra points by steering Augustus past the Wonka Bars (W) which are located throughout the machine.

She can leave poisonous nuts in their paths. Unfortunately for Veruca the nuts will only have their special powers for a few seconds. Veruca is only safe when all of the squirrels have gone. As each squirrel disappears the ones that are left will speed up, even more determined to catch her.
