IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN
Due to severe overpopulation, the planet Earth’ s diameter is increasing with the growth
of towering mega-cities, each inhabited by millions of humans. Buildings are growing
ever-upwards, interconnected with a thick web of roads, walkways and service
channels. In these giant human hives, only the affluent may feel the rays of the sun and
breathe the cleaner air.
Descending thousands of feet through the echelons, conditions steadily decline to slum
level. The inhabitants of these squalid areas barely glimpse the murky sunlight that
filters through the dense infrastructure above. And below the
slums lie even more repugnant conditions… an underworld
occupied by criminals, cultists, the wretched and
deranged. Assumed derelict, the very lowest of these areas
is visited only by structural engineering teams
when foundations require strengthening - in
order to accommodate yet further
elevations.
These Cities are Policed by the UPA
(Urban Protection Agency), one such
team is called in to investigate
problems at the ‘Real Meat’ factory, in
which all the equipment has started to
simultaneously malfunction. T echnicians
sent to repair the machinery have
gone missing without explanation…
Here begins The UPA’s sinister
trail of inquiry…

UUPPAA PPRROOFFIILLEESS
Carter – 36 year old male. UPA Squad
Leader. Has plenty of experience and has
worked his way up through the UPA
ranks to his present position. Takes his
job and position seriously. Not looking
forward to ‘retirement’ to a desk job at 40
as is standard in the UPA. Serious, incommand and in-control.
Minoko – 20 year old female. UPA Tech
Division. An orphan who was taken onto
the UPA youth training program at 9
after showing high levels of aptitude
with computers her ability to hack into almost any system was
noticed by the UPA as a skill that would benefit their organization. She has trained
ever since, and became a full UPA operative at 17 – the youngest age possible.
Limited in-the-field experience; has only been working with Carter and his team for
1 year. Young, cheerful and optimistic.
Andre– 32 year old male. UPA Engineering Division. A skilled engineer with a natural
ability to understand and repair mechanical and electrical systems. Joined the UP A
at 25 looking for excitement after growing restless in his previous job as a SkyLift
engineer. Considered by his superiors to have a slight attitude problem, but still
expected to fill Carter’s shoes when he ‘retires’.
Amber – 27 year old female. UPA Cyborg Division. Suffered horrific injuries in a
Skyway accident at the age of 19 and chose to become one of the ‘Metal Heads’ of
the UPA rather than have normal human-cyborg reconstructive surgery. Has
become increasingly withdrawn and machine-like as the years have gone by as
seems to happen with members of the Cyborg Division. When she does speak it is
quiet, calm and morose. She is capable of operating in hazardous environments.
Control – 48 year old male. UPA Control. Retired field operative who has taken up
position as the 5th member of Carter’s 4 man squad. Although the Control for a
team often varies depending on the mission, he and Carter have worked together
many times before. Experienced and serious – Carter’s future.

There are three ways of switching between team members:
QUICK KEYS:
Directly switch team members as follows: Carter 1, Minoko 2, Andre 3, Amber 4. Scroll
through team members using P or O.
RESOURCE MENU:
Click on the icon of the desired team member within the Status bar to transfer control.
IN GAME:
Use either Quick keys – as described above, alternatively when passing the Action Cursor
over another character their name will appear on screen and a status box around their
person, clicking the Action button will transfer control to that Team member. Unless
weapon is drawn.
USING AND ACTIVATING ITEMS IN THE GAME WORLD
Whenever an object in the game world can be interacted with, a Target Box will appear
around it as you move the Targeting Cursor near it. The action you can perform will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen. Pressing Action will perform that action.
REGEN POINTS
These points are where team members are regenerated should their health bar deplete
to zero. As a team member walks past a Regen Point they will be automatically tagged,
this then becomes that particular characters regeneration point. If follow me mode is
activated then the other team members under your order will have the same Regen Point
set. Regen Points can also be used to recharge your health. As you stand by the unit you
will notice a blue energy field surrounding you; remain within the field for recharge to take
place.
RECHARGE POINTS
At various points in the level the team will discover Recharge Points. These points when
activated will recharge your currently held weaponry.

CONNECTING VIA THE INTERNET
There are two methods to play Project Eden over the Internet, either using GameSpy
or directly using TCP/IP.
GameSpy – Visit the GameSpy website at www.gamespyarcade.com and follow their
instructions to play Project Eden across the Internet.
Internet TCP/IP – To play using TCP/IP you need one person to set up a server and
then everyone else must connect to it.
Setting Up A Server– Select Multiplayer then Internet TCP/IP . At the bottom of the next
screen you will see This Address, which is the TCP/IP address of your computer. Note
this down as you will need to inform the other players of your address before they will
be able to connect to your game. Please note that it is best not to disconnect from
the Internet to inform your friends by telephone, as your TCP/IP address may change
when you reconnect.
Click Accept and then Create Game. You can then either elect to start a new game
from the first level, start playing from a previous saved game, or select a specific
multiplayer level. If you select the final option you will be presented with a list of levels,
their type (see below), and the maximum number of players the level will accept. The
different types of game on offered are:
Normal co-operative levels from the normal game.
Death Match free for all.
Team the players are split into 2 teams and must capture the opposing team’s flag.
Rover Race players each control a Rover, and race around a track.
Select the level and you will then be presented with the Server Settings screen. From
here you can select how many players you wish to allow, the name of your game,
whether people can join after the game starts, and whether to use a high or low speed
data transfer. Note that high-speed servers should only be selected if all players are
connected to the Internet by something faster than a modem.
When you are ready , click Accept to start the server . If you have chosen to allow people
to join after the game starts then the game will start immediately. Otherwise, you will
go to a waiting screen where you can see which other player have joined, and click
Start Game when you are ready .
Joining a Server – Select Multiplayer then Inter net TCP/IP. On the next screen, enter

the TCP/IP address of the server into one of the slots and then click Accept. On the next

WEAPONS
Each character will start the game with at least a standard issue Pulse Gun. At various
points later in the game the team members will be given access to extra weapons and
enhanced modes of operation for existing weapons.
All UPA weapons ar e equipped with sensors preventing ‘friendly fir e’; these sensors will
prevent the firing of all UPA weapons at UPA members and civilians (Unless you are
playing in death match mode).
WEAPON ENERGY
All weapons use WEAPON ENERGY to fire. Generally, the mor e effective a weapon is the
more energy it will use. Weapon energy can be recharged by standing at a UPA
Recharge Point and holding Action. In addition, UPA Energy Cells can be collected and
stored until needed. If a character’s weapon energy runs out and an Energy Cell is
available, it is automatically used to recharge that character’ s energy. Alternatively, they
can be manually used via the Resource Menu.
PULSE GUN
Rapid setting
– continuous firing whilst the Action button is held.
Charge setting – hold the Action button to charge and then release to fire a single shot
which is more powerful than the rapid fire.
DISC GUN
Normal setting – launches an explosive disc.
Bounce setting – whilst holding the Action button a laser guide allows you to view the
bounce pattern of the explosive disc prior to launch.
EXTRACTOR
Extractor mode – use this mode to extract energy from your enemies into your weapon
energy. If your weapon energy is full the excess will be directed to generating extra
energy cells in your inventory later use. Extracting all the energy from a creature will kill it.
Blast Mode – this mode does not extract energy from the enemy but blasts it back at
them. This mode uses up weapon energy in the standard way. If there are any other
enemies nearby, the blast beam will spread up to three more times and affect these
enemies also.
screen, wait until the server name appears at the top of the screen and then click on it to
connect and join the game.
Connecting via a Local Area Network (LAN) – Select Multiplayer then choose either Internet
TCP/IP or IPX depending on your LAN. One player should set up a server and the others
join it as described above in the Internet TCP/IP section. The only difference is that on a
LAN you do not need to worry about TCP/IP addresses to join – the game will find the
server automatically.

There are three ways of switching between team members:
QUICK KEYS:
Directly switch team members as follows: Carter 1, Minoko 2, Andre 3, Amber 4. Scroll
through team members using P or O.
RESOURCE MENU:
Click on the icon of the desired team member within the Status bar to transfer control.
IN GAME:
Use either Quick keys – as described above, alternatively when passing the Action Cursor
over another character their name will appear on screen and a status box around their
person, clicking the Action button will transfer control to that Team member. Unless
weapon is drawn.
USING AND ACTIVATING ITEMS IN THE GAME WORLD
Whenever an object in the game world can be interacted with, a Target Box will appear
around it as you move the Targeting Cursor near it. The action you can perform will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen. Pressing Action will perform that action.
REGEN POINTS
These points are where team members are regenerated should their health bar deplete
to zero. As a team member walks past a Regen Point they will be automatically tagged,
this then becomes that particular characters regeneration point. If follow me mode is
activated then the other team members under your order will have the same Regen Point
set. Regen Points can also be used to recharge your health. As you stand by the unit you
will notice a blue energy field surrounding you; remain within the field for recharge to take
place.
RECHARGE POINTS
At various points in the level the team will discover Recharge Points. These points when
activated will recharge your currently held weaponry.

UUPPAA PPRROOFFIILLEESS
Carter – 36 year old male. UPA Squad
Leader. Has plenty of experience and has
worked his way up through the UPA
ranks to his present position. Takes his
job and position seriously. Not looking
forward to ‘retirement’ to a desk job at 40
as is standard in the UPA. Serious, in-
command and in-control.
Minoko – 20 year old female. UPA Tech
Division. An orphan who was taken onto
the UPA youth training program at 9
after showing high levels of aptitude
with computers her ability to hack into almost any system was
noticed by the UPA as a skill that would benefit their organization. She has trained
ever since, and became a full UPA operative at 17 – the youngest age possible.
Limited in-the-field experience; has only been working with Carter and his team for
1 year. Young, cheerful and optimistic.
Andre– 32 year old male. UPA Engineering Division. A skilled engineer with a natural
ability to understand and repair mechanical and electrical systems. Joined the UP A
at 25 looking for excitement after growing restless in his previous job as a SkyLift
engineer. Considered by his superiors to have a slight attitude problem, but still
expected to fill Carter’s shoes when he ‘retires’.
Amber – 27 year old female. UPA Cyborg Division. Suffered horrific injuries in a
Skyway accident at the age of 19 and chose to become one of the ‘Metal Heads’ of
the UPA rather than have normal human-cyborg reconstructive surgery. Has
become increasingly withdrawn and machine-like as the years have gone by as
seems to happen with members of the Cyborg Division. When she does speak it is
quiet, calm and morose. She is capable of operating in hazardous environments.
Control – 48 year old male. UPA Control. Retired field operative who has taken up
position as the 5th member of Carter’s 4 man squad. Although the Control for a
team often varies depending on the mission, he and Carter have worked together
many times before. Experienced and serious – Carter’s future.
USING SWITCHES
Throughout the game the team will need to operate switches, these are used by positioning
a team member in front of the switch placing the Action Cursor over the switch and clicking
the Action button. In some cases a prolonged holding of the switch maybe required, this is
achieved by holding the Action button and without releasing it activating the Resource
Menu by pressing the right mouse button, at which point the character holding the switch
is locked into position until you reselect him and move him away from the switch.
REPAIRING ITEMS
Andre is your engineer and as such will be called upon from time to time to try and repair
various systems. To successfully repair an item you must place your cursor over the
repair bar, clicking and holding the action button will initiate the bar slider, releasing the
action button will cause the slider to stop. If the slider stops within the blue zone one
repair point will be added, the number of repair points will be displayed at the base of the
screen. If you stop the slider in the red zone one repair point will be lost. Once the
required number of repair points is gained the system will again be able to work normally .
DOWNLOADING INFORMATION
At certain points of the game Minoko will be called upon to download information from
the various computer terminals located throughout the city. Many of these terminals are
fitted with ‘time-out’ security features and only a specialized skilled operative like Minoko
will be able to open the codes before the terminals lock and reset themselves. To crack
each phase of the terminal code position the cursor over the relevant spinal clicking once
when the indicator enters the red zone, completing the code successfully will enable
download to commence. Either missing the red zone or running out of time will result in
the terminal resetting and you will need to try again.
SAVE GAME
You are able to Save your game either by accessing the System Menu in game by
pressing the Escape key and selecting Save Game, or by using the Quick Save key which
is F7.
LOAD GAME
Y ou can Load your previously saved game at the Start Menu by selecting Load Game, at
the System Menu in game again selecting Load Game, or by using the Quick Load key
which is F8.
Please note that using the Quick Load key will automatically Load the last Save Game file
whereas if you select the Load Game option through either the Start or System Menus
you will be able to choose which Save Game file to Load.
