The cursor will stop automatically at the first block of the matrix it encounters. To correct a typographical error, move the cursor to the offending letter and type in the correct one. Holding a key down results in an automatic continuous run forward or backward. Type in the change. Text running off the screen cannot be retrieved.
Players take turns using the sounds of individual letters and numbers to make words and sentences.
Hold down any key and it will automatically fill the matrix with one letter or number. Some entries will give continuous sounds like trains, old cars, planes and strange machinery. If you have a tape recorder or a video tape camera, you can produce your own science fiction radio and TV programs. The Voice of Odyssey 2 will be most happy to star as a friendly robot explorer from another galaxy. Use the keyboard to program his lines.
