TIME REMAINING
LIFE GAUGE/POISON GAUGE
ITEMS
CONTINUE & GAME OVER
Each “Episode” in the game is divided into a number of areas,
which in turn are divided into stages. Each stage has a time
limit for it to be cleared — failure to do so will result with the
message “TIME OVER” being displayed. In this case the player
will lose one credit.
When a player is attacked by an enemy the poison gauge will
appear on the life gauge. If the poison gauge exceeds 50% of
the life gauge, the player will become vulnerable to combo
attacks. Over 80% will result in the reduction of the speed of
the player’s movement. Acquire the “ANTIDOTE” item to
return the life gauge to normal.
The player’s character will automatically retrieve the “BULLETS”
and “ANTIDOTE” items. Other items (weapons, etc.) can be
retrieved by pressing either the hand to hand combat or shoot
buttons. Extra weapons can be used until the displayed
ammunition runs out. Break boxes that appear in the game
to reveal items. Boxes contain both weapons and “LIFE UP”
items, so smash them and retrieve the items.
Once the player has lost all their lives or the “TIME OVER”
message appears, the Continue Screen will be displayed. To
continue press the Start Button before the time counter
reaches zero. If the player has no remaining credits (5 credits
is the default setting) the game is over!
