Manual
In his review for the April 1994 issue of Amiga Power, Stuart Campbell ridiculed the manual for its "creative" use of the English language. Some examples from the manual:
" if you are playing the game in full Olympic mode", when the last event has been completed you are able to view the Opening Ceremony and celebrations which open the Games", page 8
"Made of concrete to high standards, competitors are subject to forces up to 4G", page 11
"Do not hit objects off the course as this will result in fatal injury, preventing you from completing your run", page 9

Famous quotes containing the word manual:
“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“A great deal of unnecessary worry is indulged in by theatregoers trying to understand what Bernard Shaw means. They are not satisfied to listen to a pleasantly written scene in which three or four clever people say clever things, but they need to purse their lips and scowl a little and debate as to whether Shaw meant the lines to be an attack on monogamy as an institution or a plea for manual training in the public school system.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Criticism is infested with the cant of materialism, which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that some men, namely, poets, are natural sayers, sent into the world to the end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is action, but who quit to imitate the sayers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
