(3) Explanation of the Game System
1. Combination shots
When playing in two-player mode, by bringing each gun’s crosshairs close to each other, the crosshairs
become larger and players can use combination shots with high offensive power. Combination markers
can be destroyed only by combination shots, and effective use of combination shots lets players destroy
monsters more easily.
2. Horror selection
Events occur partway through stages where players select one of two choices. By shooting and selecting
one of the choices, a horror event occurs or the player gets a life box that restores their life gauge.
3. Red drum cans
The red drum cans scattered throughout a stage explode when shot, enabling to destroy all enemies
around the drum that are caught in the explosion.
4. Continue bonus
When playing in two-player mode and a player whose life gauge has fallen to zero continues play, the life
gauge of the other player also recovers slightly.
5. Stage selection
Players can select and play four different stages (Prison, Death Chamber, Cabin, Lab Complex) in the
desired order. However, if “Prison” is not selected as the first stage, it cannot be selected thereafter.
6. Secret stage
After all stages have been cleared in succession (including when “Prison” was not selected first), players
can advance to a secret stage.
7. Emergency event
The game ending differs according to the result of the emergency event that occurs partway through the
secret stage.
(4) START Button
1. The game starts on the side where the START button was pressed.
The crosshairs are red when the START button on the left side is pressed, or blue when the START button
on the right side is pressed.
2. A second player can join at any time during a game.
3. When “Press the START button to skip.” is displayed during the demonstration scenes inserted at different
points during the game, players can press the START button to skip the demonstration scene.
(5) 2D/3D Switching Button
1. The display can be switched between 2D mode and 3D mode by pressing this button at any time during
game play. However, when the Test mode is used to switch the machine to 2D mode during the Attract
mode before game play starts, the display mode cannot be switched.
2. The supplied 3D glasses must be used to view the 3D display.
