Original Advertising and Promotional Work
Sorry we do not have any marketing images for this title, it could be true that this title was never actively advertised by its publisher or that we simply missed any posters etc that were published back in the day. If you have a poster, snippet or anything that could be classed as promotional for this title then please do send it in, please note however that we currently have a max of 3 images per titles in this section.
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.
Try to stay on your feet long enough to map out your surroundings! You can neither save the game nor pause it - You are in real time (except when you are knocked out and then time goes much faster!)
You have two pistols, each with 6 bullets. You can reload your weapons by crouching on ammunition boxes found in your path.
Making a map (on paper!) is really vital to successfully getting through this first phase of the game. Landmarks are not repeated so keep a note of them. Arrows found in your way help. They point towards Barin's cave. So note them.
(Barin is the 'big friend' who supposedly can help you. Alas, he has turned to the enemy, and you will have to battle him instead in the next phase of the game!!!!)
Level 2: Battling Barin
This is achieved by hitting him more than he hits you! Sounds simple, but you just try it.
Level 3: On Your Bike
The joystick controls both your movements and fire.
The Guards
Move left & right and the bike moves with you. In order to reach your maximum possible speed, a number of the flying robot guards will need to be taken out. Each one that passes makes it more difficult for you.
The Power Gates
Once traveling at speed, steer through the power gates to build up your energy. This energy will have been sadly depleted by the robot gards dropping heavy explosive objects on you.
The Minefield
One more little obstacle appears in the form of a minefield. Ming lies beyond it. All you have to do is steer through without hitting anything. Each contact depletes your energy again. This can be quickly fatal...
At last, Ming!!!
Should you defy the odds, triumph over adversity and all that, you will catch sight of Ming as he flashes along on his jet-bike. Take him out quickly, as he fights back in a particularlyefficient manner.
Done all that? Good - You've saved the world.

"A three-in-one arcade game based on the comic strip hero. The final level being the best of the bunch and could have been released as a game all by itself."
