== Loading the game ==
Type RUN"MIMO to load the game. The loader will detect whether there is 64k or 128k of RAM available and load the corresponding version. The CPR file is the Amstrad 464+/6128+/GX4000 cartridge version of Mimo's Quest. It can be loaded through an emulator or burned to an EPROM.
== Keys ==
== The world ==
[[File:Mimosworld.jpg|thumbnail|right]]The world is made up of several islands which have various themes. There is around a square mile of map for the player to explore, containing houses, caves, castles, dungeons, underwater regions and more. Moving between the islands is possible using a variety of methods. There is a tropical zone, a wild west zone, an American Indian zone, a knight zone, a plains zone, an autumn zone, a winter zone, a mountain zone, etc. There are four seasons, weeks, and day and night periods, which help to add an additional level of realism to the world, and will be used to mark special events such as festivals.
== The characters ==
Mimo can buy or sell any of his items at the shop by speaking to the shopkeeper. Some items, such as the bow, arrows, axe, flippers and rope can be used by Mimo. For example, trees can be chopped down using the axe, and the lumber sold at the shop to make money. Shop prices will vary depending on how many of each item the shopkeeper has, and this will allow Mimo to build up his money by trading between shops.
 
Mimo has a health level which depletes over time. This can be replenished by buying food from the shops or ale from the saloon. Food can be consumed by activating it in the player's inventory.
Moveable game characters can be killed. Killing a rabbit will result in food that can be sold at the shop. Killing a good game character will result in Mimo becoming 'wanted' by local bounty hunters, which could result in a brief stint in jail if caught.

== Plus features ==
The cartridge version of Mimo's Quest uses some of the features of the ASIC in the plus machines. The larger colour palette enables a gradual fade from daylight to dusk as day changes to night. The extra space on the cartridge will eventually allow the creation extra tile sets and sprite sets for the different zones, and possibly expand the quests and vocabulary of the NPCs.
