It requires a lot of skill (or luck) and if you beat the game, then you must be pretty good. Play the game to see it yourself. ________________________________________________________________________ Part 3: Legend ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Controls: UL U UR Up-Left Up Up-Right \ | / L -- N -- R Left Neutral Right / | \ DL D DR Down-Left Down Down-Right Button Setup: A B C D ________________________________________________________________________ Part 4: Basics ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Joystick/D-Pad: Move cross-hairs and hero Fire Weapon: Push A button Use Special Weapon: Push B button Run: Hold C button and use joystick/d-pad to move left/right Evasive Maneuver: Hold C button and use joystick/d-pad to move down-left or down-right ________________________________________________________________________ Part 5: Bosses ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Stage 1: The boss in this stage is made up of two guys that are exactly alike, except the way they look. They throw some type of grenades at you, so dodge them. And when they align directly in front of you, they might shoot you with their flame thrower. There is a statue they hide behind, and you can destroy it. Once you destroy it, there will be some Special Grenades, pick it up, and it'll be much easier to beat this boss since it is so strong, just use it on them. If they don't die yet, just dodge and shoot them continuously until they die. Stage 2: This boss is a helicopter. It shoots two missiles simultaneously at you from two of its guns over and over again. It also retreats and comes back shooting the missiles at you once again. It can also shoot the missiles at you while retreating. But after it retreats to a certain point, you can't hurt it until it comes back. The easiest way to destroy this boss is to shoot and throw your grenades at it, while dodging its missiles in the direction that won't result in your death (burning). Stage 3: This boss is an airplane. You can shoot certain parts of the plane that results in holes in the plane. Sometimes items will pop out of the holes. Once the plane starts fighting back, four guns appear: the bottom two shoot bombs, the top two shoot regular machine guns. Next, there will be a big opening in the plane in which two guys appear simultaneously and throw grenades at you, then another two appear and do the same. This goes on for a while. Just dodge and shoot them. After that, you will be lead to the top of the plane. Two helicopters will fly over the plane (they shoot missiles), while three guns will pop out of the plane and they shoot bombs. After quite some time, a door near the cockpit opens and you will face a fat man whom throws grenades at you. Then to the right of the fat guy, part of the plane will slide up to show six missile launchers. They shoot missile launchers. You will then be lead near the bottom of the plane near a side propeller. Near that propeller will be holes which shoot missiles at you. Dodge them and shoot the area where the holes are. Stage 4: You will fight a guy hanging on to a helicopter (if you're playing two players before you get to this boss, then there will be two guys and two helicopters). You can only damage the helicopter, and it shoots missiles at you. Once the helicopter is destroyed, the guy will drop down. He walks back and forth following you throwing grenades in groups of three. Just dodge his grenades and shoot him, he's pretty easy to kill. Stage 5: There will be five guys on the screen: two of them are guys in red vests who just fire using regular machine guns, while the other three also shoot regular machine guns, but they can jump around, are really quick, and can pick up barrels and throw them at you. There might be more guys if you're playing two players before you get to this boss. Stage 6: This boss starts out with enemies going on screen and attacking you. There are two women dressed in blue tied to some wood pole at opposite sides of the door of the building Dr. Muckly comes out of in his wheelchair. He goes back and forth in his wheelchair shooting bombs out of some pole in the back of his wheelchair, he just keeps on shooting, you have to keep dodging, and you barely get any time to do anything. After you beat him, the two women tied to the wood poles will break free and fight you. You can prevent this by killing both of them while they are tied up to the poles before beating Dr. Muckly in his wheel- chair (actually, I think you can only kill one of them before beating Dr. Muckly in his wheelchair, but it has to be while playing two players). All the two women do is shoot you with their machine guns. After you defeat them, you'll fight a big, red, robot. You cannot continue past this point or join in, if you die, you die, and I haven't been able to defeat this last part yet. But I do know it shoots a giant missile that blows up and shoots other missiles and guns. Although like I said, I haven't been able to defeat it yet, so don't ask me about this one. ________________________________________________________________________ Part 6: Secrets ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Haven't found any yet. ________________________________________________________________________ Part 7: Weapons/Items ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Grenade: +1 Grenade to Current Stock Special Grenades: Get Special Grenades: explosion covers wide area Cross-hair: Anything that you can throw/shoot is now doubled, but what you throw or shoot still counts as one thing when it is consumed Balcan: Automatic Machine Gun Fire: Flame Thrower Saved POW: There is a woman who is being held captive by a guy in a red vest, once you destroy him, she will join you and help you, but once you die, she will leave. 1UP: +1 Life Number: Points ________________________________________________________________________ Part 8: Basic Strategies and Tips ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ To beat this game, you will need some strategy. You need to dodge a lot, especially when under heavy fire. Such as the last boss, you will need to run all the way to one direction, then dodge to the opposite direction. then run all the way to the direction you dodged to, then dodge in the opposite direction again. Shoot after you dodge, then run and dodge again. Look around the screen to see if there is any gunfire going your way, and dodge or shoot it (if you can, you can only shoot grenades, though). ________________________________________________________________________ Part 9: Frequently Asked Questions ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ None yet. ________________________________________________________________________ Part 10: Special Thanks ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ SNK: Making and publishing this game ________________________________________________________________________ Part 11: Author Information ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Name: Dan GC E-mail: LB Dan GC@aol.com Web page: Under Construction ICQ: None "You're funny.
