The Object

a human.  To attain this goal you will have to go through a total of six
distinctly different evolutionary steps.  Do you have the instincts and
reflexes to survive and evolve to a high life form?  Play the game to
find out!  Good luck!

HOW TO PLAY EVOLUTION
Choose your Skill Level
Skill Level 1 is the easiest level, a good place to begin.
Skill Level 2 is faster and has more challenges.
Skill Level 3 is even faster and more challenging.
Level 4 is the demo game.  To advance from amoeba to human, you must
successfully complete just one action in each evolutionary step.
Select a game option by pressing the corresponding number on the Port 1
controller keypad.

Amoeba

You are a lowly one-celled creature trying to eat the immobile DNA cells
displayed on the screen.  You will face spores, microbes, and antibodies
which will attempt to catch you.  If anything that moves should touch you, you
lose a life.  Your only defense against your attackers is a limited supply
of shields which will permit you to move through them without harm.  A gauge
on the bottom displays the amount of shields left, so use them wisely.  Eat
all of the DNA and advance to the next level.

To swim, use the Control Stick.  To activate one of your shields, press the
right side button.

Tadpole

You are a tadpole trying to eat elusive water flies.  Eating three of these
flies will advance you to the next level.  Sound easy?  It's not.  There are
fish trying to eat you so you'd better avoid them.  You can avoid the fish by
running away or jumping over them.  Good luck, Jeremiah!

To move along the sand, push the Control Stick left or right.  To jump, press
the button.

Rodent

You are a rodent who, like all rodents, likes to eat cheese.  You must burrow
around in a network of caves to get to the pieces of cheese that appear
randomly in the caves.  You will be pursued relentlessly by a number of
snakes who will kill you if they catch you.  You can kill a snake by dropping
one of your three dung piles.  Eat five cheeses to advance to the next level.

To tunnel, use the Control Stick.  To drop dung. press the left side button.

Beaver

You are a beaver who loves to build dams.  Swim across the river and pick
up sticks, carry them back, and place them in the dam.  When you have retrieved
five sticks, the dam will be complete.  By the way, watch out for the
alligators because they love beaver sandwiches for lunch.  Good luck, eh!

To pick up sticks, swim over to them.  To build the dam, swim with a stick
to an empty part of the channel.

Gorilla

You are a rare orange gorilla in the depths of Africa.  You must protect your
three oranges from the thieving Vervet monkeys.  You must hurl coconuts at the
monkeys and attempt to dislodge them from the vines overhead.  Five hits and
you've made it to the next level.

To aim, use the Control Stick.  To fire, press the button.

Human

You have attained the highest form of evolution.  The genetic mutants have
all revolted and you have been sent into Jeff's elastic battleground to
dispatch the renegade creatures with the aid of your laser pistol.  Watch
out - they shoot too.  Kill ten mutants and you will then witness the end
of the human race.

To run, use the Control Stick.  To shoot, press the button.

High Scores

If you get one of the ten top scores, you will become a high evolutionary.
If, however, you don't start at the beginner skill level then you must get
past the human stage to get on the list.
