THE COMMAND CENTRE





The dictator�s new command centre and office complex is being


built on top of a mountain filled with underground tunnels and


caverns. An armoury building is on the top left of the mountain,


and a missile silo is on the top right. The central top area is


still being developed. There is only one way out of the mountain,


which is the long entrance tunnel on the bottom left, sometimes


protected by an electrified perimeter fence. This site covers


over 700 computer screens. On the stolen disk, the rebels have


found a small outline map.





QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS





Drop into building. Watch out for pumas and android guards.


Search through the command centre for boxes of supplies (these


contain the objects that appear in your HELD display). Check each


box for pieces of PUNCHED TAPE (and remember its location for


later games). You get paid for killing guards and pumas,


collecting tape, and escaping. Get down towards the bottom centre


of the underground caves (use the lifts if time is short) where


you will find a motorbike on which you can drive to safety.





SCREEN DISPLAYS





The HELD DISPLAY shows the object that you are carrying and ready


to throw.





The NEAR DISPLAY shows nearby objects that you can pick up or


use. If you press the TAKE control when an object is shown in the


NEAR DISPLAY it gets swapped with your HELD DISPLAY. The objects


are mainly stored in boxes, some of which may be filled with many


items. Each time you press the THROW/USE control you will swap


the object at the top of the box with your current object which


goes to the bottom. Some items cannot be seen distinguished in


the dark and are shown as QUESTION MARKS. If you take one and it


is punched tape it will automatically be added to your


collection, otherwise it will be some kind of throwable weapon


(eg. a rock) and will go into your HELD DISPLAY. Search through


ALL THE OBJECTS in a box (when the word �NEAR� will change


colour) to check for punched tape. Note that these boxes will be


in the same place with the same objects at the start of all


missions, so use a low skill level to find their location in the


building. When a box is empty your NEAR DISPLAY will show the top


of the box with an arrow above it.





The TIMER ticks down the time till the missile fires. On higher


skill levels (or �selected missions�) you will need to collect


sufficient punched tape to be able to operate the terminal next


to the missile before blast-off, in order to redirect its flight


path (and score a large bonus). If you care for your life (and


extra pay) you should also try to escape before blast-off.





The PAY DISPLAY shows your earnings in US dollars. You get paid


for collecting punched tape, redirecting the missile (by using


the control terminal next to it), fighting with pumas and guards,


and escaping.





The RED BAR below the PAY DISPLAY shows your energy level. This


will go down when you get burned, when you fight, fall, drown or


get bitten; but it will go up if you stand still. If you run out


of energy you die.





Pieces of PUNCHED TAPE will appear one piece at a time between


the pay display and your energy display. When you have enough


pieces to redirect the missile the last one changes colour to


GREEN. On skill level 1 you are not asked to redirect the


missile, so all the tape you collect will be white.





CONTROL TERMINALS





In various parts of the complex you will find computer control


terminals (waist high) which sometimes have a video display on


the wall behind them (not in the caves). Move to the centre of a


terminal and press the USE control to operate it. Terminals


control the lifts, the missile, and the electrified perimeter


fence.





FIGHTING





The PUMAS will snap at your heels and cause your energy to run


down. You may jump ever them, or kill them either by throwing


objects at them (remember to press the DOWN control at the same


time as the THROW control), or by crouching down and punching


them in the teeth. It is rumoured that the dictator also uses


vampire bats.





All the ANDROID GUARDS have throwing knives, a flame-thrower, and


may resort to unarmed combat (punching and kicking). They are


inhuman, very strong, and unlikely to he killed by a single blow.


Try throwing a knife at them first, then give a hard flying-kick,


followed by a couple of low punches. If a guard throws a knife at


you or shoots at you, you can DUCK down out of the way, or try to


somersault out of trouble. They can�t follow you over a change in


floor level. It is rumoured that the dictator has a source of


infinite energy somewhere deep underground.





SKILL LEVELS





Unless a friend tells you the code words, you will only be able


to play at the lowest skill level until you have completed that


mission successfully. After each successful mission you are given


the code word to the next more difficult one.





The skill levels or �missions� require you to complete


increasingly more hazardous tasks and collect extra pieces of


tape (14 maximum)
