+.TH ucr 6 "28 Oct 2011" "0.1.2" "Ultima Classics Revisited"
+
+.SH NAME
+\fBucr\fR \- A modern reimplementation of the classic Ultima role\-playing games.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ucr
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B ucr
+(Ultima Classics Revisited)
+is a remake of the computer games Akalabeth (aka "Ultima 0") and
+Ultima 1.
+.PP
+.B ucr
+accepts no command\-line arguments.
+.PP
+The current version of
+.B ucr
+contains a complete rewrite of Akalabeth, which is fully playable, and
+a partial engine for Ultima I (not fully playable). To use the Ultima I
+engine, you will need the data files from the original PC release of
+Ultima I (place them in \fI/usr/share/ucr/games/u1\fR).
+.PP
+Although Akalabeth is fully playable, it has no support for saving the
+game or loading saved games (unlike the original PC release of Akalabeth).
+Ultima I, while not fully playable, does support saving/loading the game.
+.SH KEYBOARD CONTROLS
+Only the keyboard controls for Akalabeth are documented here.
+.PP
+Akalabeth
+is played entirely with the keyboard. To make choices from menus,
+press the first letter of the menu choice (e.g. \fBF\fR to buy Food
+at the Adventure Shop menu).
+.PP
+During gameplay, the following keystrokes are supported:
+.TP
+.B S
+Show character stats (hit points, equipment, etc)
+.TP
+.B P
+Pause/Resume
+.TP
+.B Space
+Pass

+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.B /etc/ucr/ucr.conf
+Config file for \fBucr\fR. Sets the paths to the game data, the screen
+size, and a few other variables. Not well documented, but fairly self\-explanatory.
+The settings for u2 through u6 don't do anything, as these games were never
+implemented in \fBucr\fR.
+.SH AUTHORS
+.B Akalabeth
+and the
+.B
+Ultima
+games were created by Richard Garriott, AKA Lord British.
