PLAYING THE GAME

Fight, fight and fight some more is the only way to rescue Marian. Billy can stage a one-brother rescue mission, but the chances of success are much higher if he can enter the fray with Jimmy by his side. (If two players embark on the quest to raise Marian, then they should work as a team and remember to keep an eye on their respective partners.)

Each of the five game sections has to be completed before the timer above the main screen reaches zero - or the heroes lose one of their precious Shinto lives. Hits from members of the Black Warrior wrecking crew also reduce the Lees' life force, taking power from the brothers' two life-status displays shown below the screen. The total number of lives Billy and Jimmy have at their disposal is shown by a digital readout immediately above their life-force meters.

The route to Marian's location takes the battling boys relentlessly to the right of the screen. The only way to move from one section of the play area to the next is to kill off all the Warriors lurking there - once the zone is empty the Guiding Hand will appear in the skies, urging Billy and Jimmy to move to the exit point.

As Jimmy and Billy have led such clean, honest lives, the Shinto Powers that rule the universe have granted them a limited level of immortality to be going on with. (Should they succeed in the mission, full Shinto Deity status is accorded to them before they move on to another space-time continuum.) If one of the brothers Lee should meet an untimely end, it is possible to activate one of the five immortality credits the Shinto Powers have granted - the quest can continue with a freshly rejuvenated hero.
