Arrow keys = move, jump, crouch
Shift = shoot, pick-up objects, append, talk
Space bar = extract pistol
Return = force field (with belt), skip Game Over countdown
F1 = inventory (Pause) and select object
F8, F9, F10 = various zoom levels (mouse to center)
CTRL+C = 3D in-game sequences on/off
CTRL+G = Auto zoom on/off
SHIFT+RETURN+SPACE+F1 = quit to main menu
Note:
A 2nd slave will be installed too, it requires less memory than the default
slave (512 KB ChipMem/540 KB OtherMem), but zoom option is disabled and some
stuff will be allocated in ChipMem instead of FastMem. It's specially designed
for low memory system (~1.5 MB free).
