You cake the role of the Ninja's beautiful sister, who must avenge her
fatally wounded brother. In "SABOTEUR I" he broke into the central security
building and stole a computer disk that contained names of the rebel leaders.
This disk also held information about the dictator's huge missile silo. Your
night-time mission is to hang-glide into this high security complex of
buildings and underground passages (over 700 screens), search for the pieces
of punched computer tape that control the missile's flight path, redirect it
before blast-off, then escape by motorbike down the one and only exit tunnel.
The site is guarded at night by massive android guards with flame-throwers,
vampire bats, and deadly black pumas.
STANDARD CONTROLS
A Joystick UP CLIMB UP. or KICK if still
Z Joystick DOWN CLIMB DOWN, or DUCK if still
M Joystick RIGHT MOVE RIGHT
N Joystick LEFT MOVE LEFT
SPACE Joystick FIRE THROW/USEATAKE object, or PUNCH if none
If you press MOVE + UP you will perform a RUNNING JUMP.
If you press MOVE + PUNCH you will perform a FLYING KICK.
THROW + UP or THROW + DOWN will AIM your throw.
Press TAKE when there is an object in your NEAR DISPLAY, and the NEAR object
will become HELD.
FIRE drops you from the HANG-GLIDER.
UP allows you to climb onto and start the MOTORBIKE, providing you are
standing next to the seat and facing the same direction as the bike.
UP or DOWN when you are standing in the centre of a LIFT platform starts it
moving. USE operates the control TERMINALS.
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
coiour) 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 I 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 over 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 be 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 for 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).
