Original Instructions

Note: Many of these instructions have been OCRed and may not have been proofread, as a result spelling errors, broken English and grammar are likely.

Phase 1:

You're in the heart of devastated Manhattan. You won't find too many friends here due the tough living conditions. A few "radio-gladiators"remain, they're used to fighting and they're also lethally contaminatedby radiation. They're starved and will do anything they can to mug you. Some hide out in the buildings and throw dynamite cartridges at you.

Phase 2:

You go towards the outskirts of the city crossing under Manhattan bridge through derelict buildings and car cemeteries. Here the radio-gladiators are much more aggressive but your main enemies are the "Manhattan punkies". They've got an advantage over you because theycarry magnum C-gsi revolvers and attack from behind, trying to bruise your ribs.

Phase 3:

Out of the city, filthy gutters surround you. Before you, at last, is the subway entrance. The enemies in this phase are much fiercer. After each stage you will encounter the "R.A.D. bulls", your worst opponents.These gigantic and ruthless creatures won't hesitate at the first chance they get to slash you to pieces.

Comment on time running:

When radioactivity seeps in, every second that goes by is vital. Your body will notice it more every time. You'll feel weaker every second. Careful: if the time runs out you'll lose all your lives.

Second Part Load:

This part has two phases. In the first phase you cross the aisles and tunnels of the Manhattan subway so that in the second one you can sneak into Mc Jerin's subterranean base. Your aim: to reach thelaunching base and avoid the radiation by escaping to the outer colonies.

Phase 1:

You are at Station 1-2-5 of the Manhattan subway, Line 1. Here you'll meet two kinds of prof. Mc Jerin's defense robots: The "flying rats" and the "PPS torretas" (i. e. Progressive Pneumatic Shooting torretas). The formers will pursue you relentlessly if you don't destroy them first. Not only that, they have a hidden weapon that they seldom use, but with a deadly destruction capacity: IP-2433 atomic mines. Be very careful with these. The PPS torretas are deadly weapons that appear within the tunnels and that will always point at you.

Further ahead and nearer to the base you will be pursued by third generation "guardian men," combat androids that resemble human beings. Don't let their appearance fool you and give them plenty of lead: they're only machines.

And finally you have to take the lift to prof. Mc Jerin's base, your last stop in your attempt to escape alive from Earth.

Phase 2:

At Mc Jerin's base, the most dangerous zone of the post-nuclear world, it's your last step to salvation, but it's too soon to start celebrating. All the prof's defense devices have been programmed for one purpose: To finish off with intruders. Of course you're one of them.

The artefacts that "welcome" you there are:

*Kangaroo Fighters: One-man defense units that patrol the area. Their armor plating, made of uranium p-24, is almost indestructible. Only a great amount of ammunition targeted at the pilot's cabin can destroy them.

*Mega Kangaroo Destroyers (MKDS): Anyone meeting one of these face to face would start trembling. You've got only two choices: run away or follow this attack plan:

-MKDS have a cannon that shoots explosives of a variable reach. Watch out for the bullets. When the cartridge and detonator are separated that means they're about to explode: Get away and throw yourselves on the ground if necessary.

-MKDS advance toward you without hesitation, and the slightest contact with their shield of force would be lethal. Their weak point isthe articulation under the cannon, that's where the atomic motor is located. Shoot them in that exact spot and you will stop their advance.

-Just like the kangaroo fighters, MKDS's are covered in uranium p-24 armor plating. Once you destroy the motor, attack the pilot without mercy.

Comment on time running:
Undergound the radiation is not as strong, although it will still affect you. Make it to where you are going faster and get ready to die.
