- Game Play
- ---------
- You become the Hawk King in Web Wars and you character will come into view
- at the bottom of the screen. You will be soaring through the Web of Fantasy in
- search of the prized creatures that inhabit this part of the universe. Your
- mission is to safely navigate the Web while attempting to capture as many of
- the 20 species of the creatures as you can for display in your Trophy Room.
- As you begin, you will encounter squadrons of deadly guardian Drones that
- protect each of the creatures. The Drones will attack you mercilessly and will
- destroy Hawk King on contact. Move quickly and cautiously through the Web
- using your blaster to eliminate them. The Drones may also be out-maneuvered in
- flight, however they will return to follow you at a speed ten m.p.h. faster
- than the speed you passed them. You may slow down and allow these Drones to
- get in front of you again to destroy them or speed up and leave them behind
- you. The greater speed you are traveling, the higher points scored for
- destroying a Drone.
- When a creature appears, use the joystick to position Hawk King within the
- Web so that you will meet it head-on and capture it with you Capture Rod. Once
- you have captured a creature, a portal will appear within the Web -- this leads
- to your Trophy Room where you place the captured creatures on display. Soar
- through the portal and enter the seclusion of your Trophy Room. When you are
- prepared to return to the hunt, press either button 1 or 2, and you will be
- transported back into the Web of Fantasy.
- If you fail to capture a species after two of its creatures have appeared,
- or fail to enter a portal after two attempts, the dreaded Cosmic Dragon will
- appear in the distance and rapidly approach you. When you are within range, it
- will shoot fireballs at you with deadly accuracy. Unfortunately, you have no
- defense against the Cosmic Dragon other than avoiding its fireballs with
- split-second adjustments in your flight pattern. Each time the Cosmic Dragon
- appears, its accuracy will improve and it will fire a greater number of
- fireballs. Beware!
- As the Hawk King, you will be provided with five lives. Use extreme caution
- as you travel through the Web. Contact with a guardian Drone, one of the
- creatures or one of the Cosmic Dragon's fireballs will destroy one of your
- lives. Happy hunting!

- Characters
- ----------
- Hawk King- Through the magic of Web Wars, you are transformed into Hawk King,
- a creature capable of incredible power and speed. You will be
- equipped with a blaster that will enable you to destroy the deadly
- guardian Drones that protect the fantasy creatures and a Capture
- Rod which you use to capture the devilishly shrewd creatures.
- Drones- The Drones are four-pointed, star-shaped bodies that travel in
- squadrons protecting each of the 20 species of fantasy creatures.
- They may be destroyed with your blaster of avoided in flight.
- However if they are not destroyed, they will return to follow Hawk
- King 10 m.p.h. faster than the speed you were travelling when you
- originally passed them.
- Fantasy Creatures- There are 20 species of these shrewd little creatures --
- each more difficult to capture than the one before. Your blaster
- will have no effect on them whatsoever. You can only capture them
- with your Capture Rod. Capture as many as you can. Maybe you'll
- be the first to see AND capture the elusive twentieth specie!
- Remember, that are as deadly as they are shrewd. Contact with one
- of the creatures will result in a loss of one of your five lives.
- Cosmic Dragon- The most deadly protector of the inhabitants of the Web, the
- Cosmic Dragon will appear if you fail to capture the creatures or
- gain entry to your Trophy Room after two attempts. You can only
- avoid it through skillful flying.
-
- Trophy Room- By soaring through one of the entry portals, you will be able to
- travel to your Trophy Room. After capturing one of the species,
- mount it on your wall with the rest of your hunting trophies. You
- may rest briefly in the seclusion of the Room and return to the hunt
- when you are again prepared to meet the challenge of the Web. You
- will automatically be returned to the Web after 30 seconds if you
- haven't pushed one of the exit buttons.
