A powerful crime syndicate has taken over large areas of our major cities,
turning them into vast criminal wastelands. Arson, extortion, drug
distribution, murder and now...terrorist abduction! You have just learned
that they have taken the president's daughter and are holding her and our
country hostage.
YOUR PURPOSE : To wipe out this criminal organization and rescue the
president's daughter. Even with the most sophisticated assault technology
available, it won't be easy. You are the only one that can save the country
from this sinister infestation...
GAMEPLAY
You start the game with five lives. The game is over once all of your
lives have been lost or you have rescued the president's daughter. Extra
lives are awarded on achieving a pre-defined number of points. Lives can
also be found throughout the playfields as you progress through the game.
With each life comes a shield. This shield is drained as you are hit by the
enemy. When the shield is depleted the life is lost.
You are equipped with the most advanced assault technology. You weapon is
a combination machine gun and rocket launcher. You can also obtain other
weapons in certain playfields as you advance through the game. These
weapons can be used for a limited amount of time. You have a large variety
of movements that allow both offensive and defensive tactics. See the
section on ACTION SCENE CONTROLS for more details.
OBJECTS
You can pick up objects throughout the game. Objects are dropped by the
enemy and can be found under crates, barrels, etc. or can be activated by
shooting secret switches.
Five-Shot Machine gun. This weapon discharges five shells at once.
Ball blaster gun. This weapon fires a single burst that explodes and
sends out small projectiles covering a 360 degree
radius.
Drugs and Money. You received points immediately for picking these up
and they will also be added to the totals on the
Command Center. At the end of play you receive an
additional bonus for confiscating these items. The
goal is to keep the M.O.B. from using these for
their Master Plan.
Machine Gun Ammo. picking up Ammo increases your supply. The amount
you currently have is indicated on the Command
Center.
Rocket Launcher Ammo. Pick these up whenever possible. Entering the
higher levels with a low supply of rockets is
certain death
Energy. Picking up energy icons will restore your shield level back to
full power. These can be used strategically for
maximizing points. Be careful not to wait too long
as objects stay on the screen only a limited time.
Lives. Extra lives can found in various places throughout the
playfields.
Memorize where these are as you will need many of them to complete the
game.
BONUS ROOMS
Bonus rooms start appearing in the ghetto. they can be found in all
playfields between the Ghetto and the Drug Factory and are indicated by a
flashing green arrow above the door. Bonus Rooms were devised by a mentally
unstable scientist working for King Pin. They contain lethal laser beam
sequencers and kinetic death pads. They are essentially puzzles to solve.
Many needed supplies can be found here and you will be amply awarded with
points for the risk. Be cautious though, it will take some practice before
these rooms are mastered

HINTS and TIPS
Crouching is the most effective way to maneuver and survive.
If you are having trouble staying alive, shoot barrels, crates, etc. with
your rocket launcher or multiple times with your machine gun to uncover the
objects underneath. There are extra lives, energy, ammo, and more under
these item.
The Evil Ninja's weapons have homing capabilities and are extremely deadly.
You can guide them into surrounding objects or avoid them until they go
away.
Look for weapons with extended capabilities in the higher levels. These
will increase your offensive capabilities.
Be cautious of enemies shooting from train windows and from the top of
subway cars. These can be destroyed by moving as close to the wall as
possible, then jumping and shooting. These same tactics can destroy Wall
Mounted Cannons found in the factories and Bonus Rooms
