From my recent purchase of Microbee material there was a Grotnik Wars Manual and Brochure. The manual is A4 in size and 13 pages long. Scanned at 600dpi and converted to a searchable PDF as usual. The Brochure was a single A4 page.
Grotnik Wars is a game written by Ross Williams in 1984 for Grotnik Software, South Australia. From the manual -
Grotnik Wars is a high-speed three-dimensional video-game set
in the surreal wastes of deep space. Grotnik Wars is more a
simulation than a game. What you see on your screen is what you
would see if you looked out of a window of a space ship. You are
enclosed in a small space with a variety of nasties. You cannot
escape but nor can they. The aim of the game is to hunt them
down and destroy them before they destroy you.
There was also the first Grotnik Software Catalogue produced in October 1984. Then they had only 2 programs for sale, Bunyip Adventure and Grotnik Wars with more promised for 1985. In addition, there was also a single page titled Software on Disk and explains the use of their games that now come on standard Microbee formatted 5.25" disks.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Documentation\Manuals\Games folder we updated
