Gorf
* Select from four skill levels
* For one or two players
A home version of the Balley/Midway arcade game!
GAME DESCRIPTION
Only your fighter stands between Gorf's fleet of robot ships
and their control of the galaxy! With your skill, you can defend
the universe against the enemy's twisted technology.
But Gorf never quits. Each mission you survive, Gorf
sends another fleet even meaner than the previous one!
MISSION! Defeat Astro Battle invaders that fire to disintegrate
your shield and destroy your ship.
MISSION! Clear the sky of robot ships and laser ships. Evade
the Laser Attack that shimmers toward your fighter.
MISSION! Attack! Out of the Space Warp Gorfian ships
come, hurling radiation blasts that track your fighter.
MISSION! Duel the ultimate challenge, the Gorfian
Flagship!
GETTING READY TO PLAY
* Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to a
TV and the power supply is plugged into your console.
Then plug power supply into a 110/120 volt AC outlet.
* TV should be on and tuned to the same channel as the
Channel Select Switch on the console.
* To play one-player GORF, use the controller plugged into
Port 1 (the rear jack). To play two-player GORF, use both
controllers.
* ALWAYS MAKE SURE COLECOVISION UNIT IS OFF
BEFORE REMOVING OR INSERTING A CARTRIDGE. Turn
Off/On Switch to On after cartridge is inserted.
USING YOUR CONTROLLERS
NOTE: For a one-player game, use the controller plugged into
Port 1 (the rear jack). For a two-player game, Player 1 uses the
controller plugged into Port 1 and Player 2 uses the controller
plugged into Port 2.
1. Keypad: Keypad Buttons 1-8 allow you to select a Game
Option before beginning to play. Pressing * after a game
allows you to replay the same Game Option; pressing
# after a game allows you to return to the Game Option
screen.
2. Control Stick: Tilt the Control Stick in any of its eight
directions to move your fighter that direction.
3. Side Buttons: Press and release either Side Button to
shoot a laser blast from the nose of your fighter. Each press
and release of a button issues another blast, but cuts short
any blast already on the screen.
HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
NOTE: If you are playing a two-player game, players take
turns. Each player plays until completing a mission. Play
alternates between players only when one player completes
a mission.
STEP 1: Choose your options.
Press the Reset Button. The Title screen appears on your TV
Wait for the Game Option screen to appear It contains a list of
game play options, numbered 1-8.
Skill 1 is the easiest, suitable for play by beginners.
Skill 2 action is faster, but not as demanding as the
arcade version of the game.
Skill 3 plays much like the arcade version of GORF.
Skill 4 is more challenging than the arcade version.
Select one by pressing the corresponding number button on
either controller keypad.
NOTE: In most missions, fewer enemies appear at Skill Level
1, and enemy movement is slower at lower skill levels.
STEP 2: Battling the Astro Invaders!
In the Astro Battle, Gorf's robots march through space
toward you. Your fighter is protected by an electromagnetic
shield. But not for long! Enemy fire knocks out chunks of your
protective energy shield. Vaporize the enemies and their
blasts with your laser. But be careful. In this battle, if you crash
with an enemy invader, your turn ends just as if you completed
your mission!
STEP 3: Hyperspace to a new frontier.
Once you've defeated the Astro Invaders, laser ships and
enemy robots dive through deep space to attack. Watch out!
If you contact any part of the shimmering laser, your fighter
is eliminated. Only your accurate maneuvering and speedy
firing can halt the attack.
STEP 4: Warping in reinforcements!
If you've conquered the laser squadrons, Gorf sends
replacements! From all corners of the galaxy, Gorf sum-
mons robots that hurl radiation bombs. Station your fighter to
guard warp's entrance and eliminate robot ships as they soar
from the tunnel.
STEP 5: Flagship duels.
Now the ultimate challenge awaits! The robot Gorf com-
mands its flagship to the battle scene. But crafty you--you're
already waiting! Clear a hole in the ship's electromagnetic
field. Then aim carefully to explode the ship's Internal Reac-
tor If you don't hit it right away, you still get points each time
you hit the flagship. But watch out ! The flagship hurls fire-
balls at you.
STEP 6: Earn a promotion!
Triumph against the Gorfian fleet by completing these four
missions! You start out as Space Cadet. Complete four mis-
sions and you're promoted to Space Captain.
You'll be sent on even more difficult sets of missions. If you
survive, after each round of four missions you'll become
Space Colonel, Space General, Warrior or even Space
Avenger!
STEP 7. Starting over.
Press * to replay the GORF Game Option that you have
been playing. Press # to go back to the Game Option screen.
NOTE: The Reset Button on the console "clears" the game.
It can be used to start a new game at any time, and can also
be used in the event of game malfunction
