Engineering: Repair Card

This document provides instructions for playing the ColecoVision game 2040: The Graphic Action Game. It describes the keypad buttons and control stick that are used to navigate menus, scan circuits onboard a space station, and repair damaged components. The objective is to power up systems and repair circuits within the station before it crashes into a planet. Higher difficulty levels offer greater challenges by lowering the station's starting orbital altitude.
