4. Playing a game
The Vega will have configured the select [S] button to begin the
selected game when pressed, so that is usually all that is required to
begin, unless the help screen instructions indicate otherwise.
For each game, the keys that would have been used on the ZX
Spectrum have been allocated to a button on the Vega. These are shown
on an information screen when you first select a game, and can be
reviewed at any time by selecting Help from the in-game control panel.
See page 7, Displaying game controls and other help.
Games with many actions
Some of the more complex games, such as flight simulators, may
require more functions than are available with just 11 buttons. In such
games the Vega will assign two actions to some buttons, and allow you
to switch quickly between these two primary and secondary
assignments.
● When a game starts, the primary control assignment is selected.
● To switch to the secondary assignment, briefly press button
[M].
● To switch back to the main control assignment, briefly press
button [M] again.
Entering text on the Vega
Some games require the user to type text at various points, for example
conversational adventure games or those with high-score tables. As the
Vega does not have a physical keyboard, it provides an easy to use on-
screen alternative called a “virtual keyboard”. This feature is accessed
through the Vega’s in-game control panel. See page 8, The virtual
keyboard.
