However, in the interests of getting you
started ASAP, all you really have to do is
guide your player about (he's the guy with
The little semi-circle around his head) and
hammer the fire button to tackle (well, hit)
the opposition. When you gain possession,
hit tire once to throw the ball (moving the
joystick applies aftertouch). If the ball is on
the ground, hitting fire causes your player to
slide, and if the ball is in the air, the fire but-
ton initiates a jump.
Gain control of the ball, get near the goal
and attempt to gel it past the goalie. And
that's all there is to it (hur, hurl).
