STANDARD CONTROLS
;] Joystick UP CLIMB UP if on ladder, or KICK if still
/? Joystick DOWN CLIMB DOWN if on ladder, or DUCK if still
S Joystick RIGHT MOVE RIGHT
A Joystick LEFT MOVE LEFT
SPACE Joystick FIRE THROW/USE/TAKE object, or PUNCH if none.
NB: If you press the UP control at the same time as the MOVE RIGHT or LEFT
control you will perform a SIDEWAYS JUMP The distance you jump will depend on
whether you were running or standing when you pressed the UP control. You
CANNOT kick or jump in rooms with a low ceiling.
NB: The THROW control used on its own will throw objects horizontally. If you
wish to aim an object you should press either the UP or DOWN control at the
same time as the THROW control. This will direct the object up or down (at an
angle of 22 degrees).
NB: If you press the THROW USE control when there is an object in your NEAR
DISPLAY, then the NEAR object will become HELD (and if you had a HELD object at
the time it gets swapped to become the new NEAR object). This swapping process
will continue until you move away from the NEAR object.
NB: The UP control also starts the helicopter.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
Enter warehouse. Avoid dogs, guards, and ceiling-mounted anti-personnel
weapons which are guided by video cameras. Cross to other side of the warehouse
You may have to use some computer terminals to unlock doors (not at skill level
1 though). Go down sewers. On your journey you should try to find a hidden
time-bomb and carry it to the underground computer centre. Use two mini-trains
which connect sewers to computer centre Take (or swap limb-bomb with) the disk,
then escape by helicopter which is on the roof of the warehouse (you'll have to
climb the stanchions and jump across the gantries on the top floor)
SCREEN DISPLAYS
The HELD DISPLAY shows the object that you are carrying and ready to throw.
Certain objects {ie the disk and the bomb) cannot be thrown (though any object
can be put down and then HELD again later). If you press the THROW USE control
when this display is empty (or contains the disk or the bomb) you will only
throw a PUNCH.
The NEAR DISPLAY shows nearby objects that you can pick up or use. If you
press the THROW USE control when an object is shown in the NEAR DISPLAY it gets
swapped with your HELD DISPLAY. The only exception to this is the computer
terminals, which you may USE to lock unlock doors while a terminal appears in
your NEAR DISPLAY. Note that only a few terminals actually control doors, and
the rest have other functions which will not affect you. If you have changed
the lock status of a door when you USE a terminal the NEAR DISPLAY will show
the terminal change colour (ie if you leave a terminal when it is purple you
have changed a lock). Note that you CANNOT throw or use your HELD object when
there is an object in your NEAR DISPLAY. To fuse the time-bomb you must swap it
for the disk (in the disk's original location).
At the start of the game your TIME DISPLAY will show how long you have to get
to the disk (before its information gets down-loaded to all the outlying
security stations, and your mission gets aborted). If you manage to place the
time-bomb in the disk's original location the TIME DISPLAY will then show how
long you have to get to the helicopter to make your escape. You don't have to
get the disk or set the time-bomb before you escape, but you'll be well
rewarded if you do
The PAY DISPLAY shows your earnings in US dollars. You don't get paid for
hurting the dogs, and you don't get much for killing guards. You do get some
big bonuses for escaping with the disk after setting the time-bomb.
The RED BAR below the PAY DISPLAY shows your energy level. This will go down
when you get shot, when you fight, when you fall, or get bitten; but it will go
up if you stand still If you run out of energy you die.
FIGHTING
DOGS will snap at your heels and cause your energy to run down. You may jump
over them, or if you are mean and nasty you can kill them by throwing a weapon
(in which case you will have to aim it with the DOWN control).
GUARDS may sometimes be standing still and looking the wrong way, in which
case if you move very very slowly you may be able to creep up on them (or just
exit the room) without them noticing you. All GUARDS have throwing knives, a
gun (loaded with rubber bullets, as they prefer to capture intruders rather
than kill them outright), and may resort to unarmed combat (punching and
kicking) though they won't have your Ninja skills and therefore won't be able
to kill with a single blow like you, a guard throws a knife at you or shoots at
you, you can DUCK down out of the way, though eventually you will either have
to kill him or run away. Note that you can't kick a guard in a room with a low
ceiling.
The WEAPONS that you can throw include knives, shurikens (pointed stars that
you throw), grenades, bricks, rocks, and pieces of pipe. You can throw these
when they are in your HELD DISPLAY, and aim your shot by pressing the UP or
DOWN control at the same time as the THROW control. You can KICK iy pressing
the KICK control when you are standing still, or PUNCH by pressing the THROW
control when your HELD DISPLAY is empty.
SKILL LEVELS
These affect the length of time in between shots from the guards and the
anti-personnel weapons (ie your response time). They also affect the guard dogs
which become more vicious at higher skill levels. They also control the
position of the time-bomb which you will have to carry further on higher skills
levels (NB: so long as you stay at at the same skill level you will always find
the bomb in the same place)
