ROBOCOP III HAS 2 GAMES ON - 3 DISKS - GAME 1 : THE MOVIE ADVENTURE GAME 2 : THE ARCADE GAME `MEDIA BREAK NEWS` IS LOADED UP AND THE PLYER IS PRESENTED WITH THE NIGHTS HEADLINES. EACH HEADLINE IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAME SECTION. THIS ALLOWS THE PLAYER INSTANT ACCESS INTO DIFFERENT SECTIONS.(THESE SECTIONS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE MOVIE GAME). MEDIABREAK KEYS: SPACE BAR - SKIP TO NEXT LINE OF TEXT ESCAPE - SKIP REST OF MEDIA BREAK. ARCADE SECTION 1 : DRIVING -------------------------- THE POLICE FORCE IS ON STRIKE AS DETROIT BECOMES A NO-GO ZONE. ON THE HIGHWAYS ROBOCOP IS ATTEMPTING TO APPRHEND RUNAWAY DRIVERS AND STOLEN VEHICLES.

IF YOU ARE ELIMINATED OR FAIL TO COMPLETE YOUR MISSIPON, YOU RETURN TO `MEDIA BREAK`, THEN A HIGH SCORE TABLE. THE STORY SO FAR ---------------- IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DELTA CITY PROJECT. OCP ARE NOW IN A DESPERATE SITUATION AS THEY STAND TO LOOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IF WORK DOES NOT COMMENCE WITHIN THE WEEK. THE CITIZENS OF DETROIT HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT TO MOVE FROM THEIR HOMES SO OCP HAS HIRED A SPECIAL ARMY GROUP CALLED THE `REHABS`, THEY ARE URBAN REHABILITATION OFFICERS WHO ARE ROOTING PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES. DELTA CITY MOVES EVER CLOSER. ----------------------------- THE MOVIE SECTION OF THE GAME RUNS LIKE AN ADVENTURE. LIKE ALL ADVENTURES IT HAS MANY TWISTS AND TURNS, SIO IT IS DIFFICULT TO GIVE AN ACCURATE FLOW OF HOW THE GAME WILL RUN. SO WE ARE NOT ATTEMTING TO DO SO! MEDIA BREAK IS USED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE OF THE EVENTS SO FAR AND CREATES THE BACKDROP TO THE GAME. MEDIABREAK KEYS: SPACE BAR - SKIP TO NEXT LINE OF TEXT ESCAPE - SKIP REST OF MEDIA BREAK DIRECTIVES: 1) PROTECT THE INNOCENT 2) UPHOLD THE LAW 3) SERVE THE PUBLIC TRUST ROBOCOP CANNOT VIOLATE THESE PRIME OBJECTIVES - ANY VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN SHUTDOWN. IN THE GAME ROBOCOP IS ABLE TO FUNCTION IN ALL ENVIROMENTS. HE IS CAPABLE OF WALKING,FLYING,DRIVING AND ALL FORMS OF COMBAT. AS A MEMBER OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE OF DETROIT. THE SECURITY CONCEPTS -ROBOCOP- WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A POLICE TURBO CRUISER FOR ACTIVE PATROL DUTY. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLD. ------------------------- 1) ACTIVE PATROL DUTY, ALL OF DETROITS PRECINCTS ARE WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF ROBOCOP FROM UP NORTH AND WEST TO THE INTERSTATE AND SOUTH AND EAST TO THE SEAWAY AND CANADA. A RESTRAINING DEVICE HAS BEEN FITTED TO THE VEHICLE SO THE CITY BOUNDERIES ARE NOT VIOLATED. ROBOCOP HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH NFULL GEOGRAPHICAL DATA OF THE CITY,COMPLETE WITH MAP DISPLAYS,RADARS AND LOCATION POINTERS TO AID NAVIGATION AROUND THE CITY. THE CITY IS SPLIT UP INTO DIFFERENT URBAN AREAS: 1) DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT COMPLETE WITH SKYSCRAPERS AND MODERN ULTRA TECH SHOW CASE BUILDINGS. 2) THE SUBURBS,THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY WITH NICE HOUSING,TREES AND SHOPPING MALLS. 3) THE DOCKS, A\ INDUSTRIAL AREA SHOWING SIGNS OF DECAY AS THE RECESSION BITES HARD. 4) THE INNER CITY OF OLD DETROIT,THE RUN DOWN SLUM AREA OF DETROIT WHERE THE SITE OF DELTA CITY IS TO BE LAID.(THIS AREA IS NOW SEALED OFF WITH AN ELECTRIFIED PERIMETER FENCE) ON THE MAP PARTICULAR ATTENTION HAS BEEN PUT TO THE MAIN AREAS INVOLVED IN THE GAME,AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE GAME, YOU MAY NEED TO VISIT SOME OF THE LOCATIONS. 1) ROCKET MOTORS - ABANDONED DISUSED CAR FACTORY. 2) OCP TOWER - THE HQ OF O.C.P 3) METRO SOUTH POLICE HQ 4) TWENTY FOUR HOTEL 5) CHURCH IN SOME DRIVING SECTIONS, WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS THE COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY TAKES OVER THE GAME AS THE PLAYER SEES A GRAPHIC BACKDROP WITH THE 3D SUPER IMPOSED OVER IT. FROM THIS POINT ROBOCOP WILL FOOT IT. WHILST ON PATROL ROBOCOP WILL RECEIVE MISSION ORDERS,REPORTS AND UPDATES FROM POLICE HQ, THIS DATA WILL BE PRINTED ACROSS ROBOCOPS VISOR. IT IS THROUGH THIS SYSTEM THAT MISSION ORDERS WILL BE CONVEYED TO ROBOCOP. MISSIONS WILL INCLUDE APPREHENDING `411` VEHICLES AND THE CAPTURE OR DESTRUCTION OF CRIMINALS. IT IS LIKELY,DURING PATROL,THAT GUNFIRE WILL BE AIMED FOM THESE VEHICLES,GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID UNNECESSARY GUN-FIRE. DRIVING PARAMETERS. ------------------- THE TURBO CRUISER IS A FAST EFFICENT POLICE CAR..IT IS ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO 60MPH IN 8 SECONDS WITH A TOP SPEED OF 140 MPH. IT IS ABLE TO PULL HARD AT FAST SPEEDS AND DECELERATES RAPIDLY FOR TURNING CORNERS. MAKING IT LESS HAZARDOUS. THE VEHICLES TURBO BOOST CUTS IN AT 30 MPH UP TO 80MPH WHICH IS VERY USEFUL FOR OVERTAKING AND FOR ACCELERATING OUT OF TIGHT CORNERS. DISPLAYS. --------- THE CAR DASHBOARD HAS A SPEEDOMETER MOUNTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONSOLE AND A MAP ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. ON THE STEERING WHEEL A SMALL WHITE DISPLAY DOT SHOWS HOW FAR THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND IN WHAT DIRECTION IT IS POINTING. THE CAR IS ALSO FITTED WITH FLASHING POLICE LIGHTS: THESE LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATED AND WILL FLASH AUTOMATICALLY DURING ARREST MODE. THE CAR HAS AN ACTIVE MOVING MAP DISPLAY TO SHOW THE PLAYER THE LOCATION OF ANY ADVERSARIES AND HIMSELF IN RELATION TO THE WORLD. THIS IS ESSENTIAL DURING HIGH SPEED CHASES. DUE TO THE MAP RESOLUTION IT IS SPLIT INTO 4 SECTIONS FOR THE -NORTH EAST - SOUTH EAST - SOUTH WEST - NORTH WEST AREAS OF THE CITY. YOUR VEHICLE IS INDICATED BY A GREEN SQUARE, THE SUSPECT VEHICLE BY A RED SQUARE. DAMAGE AND EFFICIENCY. ---------------------- THE CAR IS ABLE TO WITHSTAND A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE,AKTHOUGH THE MORE DAMAGE THE CAR RECIEVES THE LESS RESPONSIVE AND MORE DIFFICULT IT MAY COME TO CONTROL. DURING THE DRIVING SECTION,ROBOCOPS EFFECIENCY READING IS DEDICATED TO THE CAR AND NOT ROBOCOP. THE EFFECICIENCY READING SHOWS THE OVERALL TURBO CRUISER EFFECIENCY. WHEN ROBOCOP IS IN ACTION THIS READING WILL DIMINISH DUE TO THE EFFECT TO WEAPONS WHICH CAN DAMAGE ROBOCOP. ie HEAD ON COLLISIONS WITH BUILDINGS AND OTHER VEHICLES OR HEAVY GUNFIRE CAN DESTROY THE TURBO CRUISER AND LIGHT GUNFIRE CAN SLOWLY WEAR DOWN THE EFFECIENCY READING. ANY READING BELOW 30% WILL SHOW A WARNING AS THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SUSTAINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. IT ALSO MAY PROVE MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND MAY INCUR LOSE TO POWER AND REACTION DUE TO DAMAGE. THE TURBO CRUISER WILL BE DESTROYED WHEN EFFECIENCY IS REDUCED TO ZERO. THE PLAYERS SCORE IS CALCULATED ON THE FOLLOWING; HOW QUICK THE MISSION IS ACHIEVED. HOW MUCH EFFECIENCY ROBOCOP HAS REMAINING AN OVERALL MISSION SCORE SCORE FOR INDIVIDUAL NUMBER OF THOSE ELIMINATED NOTE: IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A NEGATIVE SCORE SCORE IF ROBOCOP SHOOT ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WHILST ON DUTY. ie WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IF A NEGATIVE SCORE IS ACHIEVED AT THE END OF THE MISSION IT IS LIKELY THAT THE PLAYER WILL BE DECOMMISIONED FROM THE FORCE AND DEACTIVATED. DRIVING CONTROLS. ----------------- JOYSTICK.....

YOUR ADVERSARY IS INTELLIGENT SO TREAT HIM WITH RESPECT, KEEP ON THE ROAD...ALTHOUGH YOU CAN DRIVE ON THE SIDEWALKS AND OPEN AREAS IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR VEHICLE AND WEAR DOWN EFFECIENCY. KEEP AN EYE ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS AS YOU WILL KNOW THEN IF YOUR CHASE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES OR TURN RAPIDLY. WHEN IN PURSUIT OF A VEHICLE,DONT GET TO CLOSE AS IT IS LIKELY THAT ITS DOORS WILL SWING OPEN WITH MACHINE GUNS FIRING AT YOU. ALSO LOOK OUT FOR PEOPLE SHOOTING AT YOU FROM THE ROADSIDE OR OTHER VEHICLES. TO APPRHEND A VEHICLE IT IS BEST TO CHOOSE YOUR MOMENT.ie WHEN ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD USE YOUR TURBO ACCELERATION TO MOVE UP ALONG SIDE HIM AND RUN INTO HIM. IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL COLLISIONS TO FORCE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD,DURING THIS YOU MAY ALSO BE UNDER FIRE. WATCH OUT FOR OBSTACOLES IN THE ROAD SUCH AS OIL SPILLS,DESTROYED VEHICLES AND DEBRIS. ON TURNING USE THE WIDTH OF THE ROAD,BUT DONT IVERSTEER. SQUEELING TYRES WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOUR CUTTING IT TOO FINE. WHEN IN PURSUIT OF FASTER VEHICLES YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO KEEP UP..REMEMBER USE YOUR TURBO ACCELERATION AT THE RIGHT TIME. FLYING SECTION. --------------- THE LATEST ADDITION TO ROBOCOP ARMOURY IS `GYROCYCLE`. THIS IS A SPECIALLY ADAPTED JETPACK WHICH ALLOWS ROBOCOP TO ACHIEVE FULL FLIGHT. THE GYROCYCLE IS INTERFACED TO USE THE ROBOCOP SOFTWARE AS A NEW HELMET DISPLAY CALLED `H.U.D`. ON THE HELMET MOUNTED DISPLAY MISSION DIRECTIVES ARE PRINTED AND ALSO ANY DATA WHICH MAY BE RELEVANT,BELOW THIS IS THE EFFECIENCY READING IS PRINTED PERMANTLY. EFFECIENCY. ----------- THE EFFECIENCY READING SHOWS THE OVERALL ROBOCOP EFFECIENCY. WHEN ROBOCOP IS IN COMBAT THIS READING WILL DIMINISH DUE TO THE EFFECT OF WEAPONS WHICH CAN DAMAGE ROBOCOP. ie HELICOPTER GUNFIRE CAN BLOW ROBOCOP OUT OF THE SKY AND GROUND GUNFIRE CAN SLOWLY WEAR DOWN THE EFFECIENCY READING. ANY READING BELOW 30% WILL SHOW A WARNING AS ROBOCOP WILL HAVE SUSTAINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. IT ALSO MAY PROVE MORE DIFFICULT TO FLY AND MAY INCUR LOSS OF POWER AND REFLEXES DUE TO DAMAGE. ROBOCOP WILL BE DESTROYED WHEN EFFECIENCY IS REDUCED TO ZERO. WEAPONS. -------- WHILST IN FLIGHT ROBOCOP HAS A MULTI WEAPON WHICH IS CAPABLE OF FIRING CANNON AND RAPID MACHINE GUN FIRE,THE WEAPON IS SELECTED AND THE AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION REAMAINING IS PRINTED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. THE CANNON IS THE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MULTI WEAPON ARM MACHINE GUN. THE CANNON IS ABLE TO KNOCK OUT HEAVY ARMOUR SUCH AS TANKS AND HELICOPTERS MORE EFFECIENTLY THAN THE MACHINE GUN. ROBOCOPS AVIONIC SOFTWARE HAS A NEW TARGET SYSTEM SIMILAR TO A FIGHTER AIRCRAFT WHERE A LOCK CAN BE ACHIEVED WHICH WILL ALLOW THE WEAPONS TO BEAR. IT IS UP TO THE PLAYER TO THEN FIRE WHEN READY. COUNTER MEASURES. ----------------- H.U.D THIS DISPLAY IS DESIGNED TO SHOW THE PLAYER ALL RELEVANT FLIGHT INFORMATION..ie, POWER,RADAR AND OTHER VARIOUS READINGS. 1) ALTITUDE BAR - THIS IS THE LEFT HAND INDICATOR BAR, A WARNING WILL APPEAR IF THE ALTITUDE LEVEL IS TO LOW. 2) THRUST BAR - THIS IS THE RIGHT HAND INDICATOR BAR SHOWING THE THRUST OF THE JET PACK. THE GREATER THE THRUST THE GRATER THE VELOCITY OBTAINED. 3) RADAR - THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE DISPLAY SHOWS A RADAR DISPLAY OF VARIOUS THREATS RELEVANT TO YOUR POSITION OBJECTS ARE SPLIT INTO THREE COLOUR CODES. RED - IS AN AERIAL THREAT. ie HELICOPTERS GREEN - IS FOR FRIENDLY .ie POLICE CARS BLACK - SHOWS THE LOCATION OF IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT BUILDINGS ie OCP TOWER YELLOW- INDICATES A GROUND BASED THREAT ie, ED209,TANKS ect HORIZON BAR INDICATOR[USED WITH CANNON] WHEN A VALID TARGET IS WITHIN H.U.D, A GREEN TARGET `LOCK` APPEARS WHEN WITHIN RANGE TO FIRE. A RED TARGET CIRCLE WILL OVERLAP,WHEN THEY MEET YOU CAN FIRE. THE PLAYERS SCORE IS CALCULATED ON THE FOLLOWING; HOW QUICK THE MISSION IS ACHIEVED. HOW MUCH EFFECIENCY ROBOCOP HAS REMAINING AN OVERALL MISSION SCORE SCORE FOR INDIVIDUAL NUMBER OF THOSE ELIMINATED NOTE: IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET A NEGATIVE SCORE SCORE IF ROBOCOP SHOOT ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WHILST ON DUTY. ie WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

KEEP LOW ALTHOUGH SUSCEPTIBLE AT THIS ALTITUDE TO SMALL ARMS FIRE WHICH WILL SLOWLY LOWER YOUR EFFECIENCY IT IS FAR LESS DANGEROUS THAN A LARGE AAA AND HELICOPTER GUNFIRE.ALSO AT HIGH ALTITUDE THE MISSILES PROVE EFFECTIVE. THE HELICOPTERS ARE PERHAPS THE MOST DANGEROUS SO SHOULD BE AVOIDED. TAKE SUGGEST THAT ALL AERIAL THREATS SHOULD BE ERADICATED BEFORE GROUND ENGAGEMENTS IT IS THEREFORE FEASIBLE TO DEAL WITH THE HELICOPTERS IMMEDIATELY. TRY TO CONSERVE FUEL. ROBOCOP WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNED AROUND THE USE OF URBAN PACIFICATION WHICH INCLUDES HEAVILY BUILT AREAS SUSCH AS ALLEYWAYS,LARGE BUILDINGS AND GENERAL PEDESTRIAN AREAS. ROBOCOP HAS FULLY FUNCTIONS AROUND ALL ENVIROMENTS AND CAN PENETRATE ALMOST ANY BUILDING. ROBOCOP IS ABLE TO MAP A ZONE HE ENTERS AND IS ABLE TO USE WEAPONS IN A CLOSED ENVIROMENT AGAINST ANYTHIN HOSTILE. HE IS ABLE TO WALK THROUGH DOORS,OR PUNCH DOWN CLOSED DOORS, AND WITH THE USE OF HIS TARGETING SYSTEM IS ABLE TO OPERATE ELEVATORS BY USING THE UP OR DOWN CURSOR ON THE KEYBOARD. WEAPONS AND TARGET ACQUIISITION. -------------------------------- ROBOCOP HAS AN ADVANCED TARGET ACQUISITION SYSTEM WHICH IS ABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING HOSTILE. THE PLAYER MUST POSITION THE CROSS HAIRS OVER A VALID TARGET. ROBOCOPS SOFTWARE WILL AUTOMATICALLY DESIGNATE AND LOCK ONTO THE TARGET, AND THE PLAYER IS THEN ABLE TO FIRE WEAPONS. THE TARGET WILL FLASH GREEN FOR AN INSTANT FOR CONFIRMATION. ROBOCOP IS NOW FITTED WITH A DETACHABLE MULTI WEAPON ARM. THE ARM HAS A MULTI HEAVY CALIBRE MACHINE GUN. EFFECIENCY ---------- THE EFFECIENCY SHOWS THE OVERALL EFFECIECY OF ROBOCOP IS IN ACTION THIS READING WILL DIMINISH DUE TO EFFECT OF WEAPONS WHICH CAN DAMAGE ROBOCOP.ie BOMBS OR HEAVY GUNFIRE WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE AND LIGHT GUNFIRE WHICH CAN SLOWLY WEAR DOWN THE EFFECIENCY READING. ANY READING BELOW 30% WILL SHOW A WARNING AS ROBOCOP WILL HAVE SUSTAINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. IT ALSO MAY PROVE MORE DIFFICULT TO MOVE AND MAY INCUR LOSS OF POWER AND REACTION DUE TO THE DAMAGE. ROBOCOP WILL BE DESTROYED WHEN WHEN THE EFFECIENCY IS REDUCED TO ZERO. THE CROSS HAIRS ARE ALSO USED TO DIRECT THE MOTION OF ROBOCOP. WHEN USING A MOUSE IF THE CROSS HAIRS ARE PUSHED TO THE TOP OR SIDE OF THE SCREEN WILL CHANGE DIRECTION ACCORDINGLY. THIS WILL NOT HOWEVER INTERFERE WITH THE TARGET LOCK SYSTEM AS THE CURSOR IS ABLE TO BE POSITIONED OVER ANY TARGET WITHIN THE SCREEN ALLOWING ROBOCOP TO BE ACCURATELY POSITIONED FOR A SHOT. IN SOME URBAN AREAS ROBOCOP CAN USE AN ACTIVE SONIC HOMING DEVICE TO LOCATE A PERSON. THE AUDIO BLEEP WILL ACCELERATE AS HE GETS CLOSER TO THE SOURCE. THIS DEVICE WORKS AUTOMATICALLY.

IF A NEGATIVE SCORE IS ACHIEVED AT THE END OF THE MISSION IT IS LIKELY THAT THE PLAYER WILL BE DECOMMISIONED FROM THE FORCE AND DEACTIVATED HINTS AND TIPS -------------- CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN AT ALL TIMES AS DANGER LURKS AROUND EVERY CORNER. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND BE PREPARED TO FIRE. ALWAYS AIM FOR A BODY SHOT TO ACHIEVE ACCURATE TARGET LOCK. AVOID INNOCENT CIVILIANS AT ALL COSTS ------------------------------------- TARGETS SHOULD BE CHOSEN CAREFULLY. ie IF THERE ARE 3 BADDIES ATTACKING YOU. FIGURE OUT WHO IS THE MOST DANGEROUS. A MAN ABOUT TO THROW A HAND GRENADE IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN A MAN WITH A HAND GUN... IF A HAND GRENADE IS THROWN YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DESTROY IT WITH YOUR GUN, AS THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED WILL THEN BE GREATLY REDUCED. IT IS VERY EASY TO BECOME LOST SO PAY ATTENTION TO ANY PARTICULAR LAND MARKS OR SIGNS. MANY ALLEYWAYS AND CORRIDORS HAVE COUNTLESS DOORS, MANY OF THEM LEAD NOWHERE. EXPLORING EVERY DOORWAY WILL ONLY WASTE TIME, MANY OF THEM ARE BOOBY TRAPPED, SO CARE MUST BE TAKEN. MAKE A NOTE OF THE DIRECTION THE BADDIES ARE COMING FROM AS THEY MAY LEAD YOU TO YOUR OVERALL MISSION DIRECTIVE. TO OPERATE ELEVATORS, SIMPLY WALK INSIDE AND PRESS CURSOR-UP OR CURSOR-DOWN KEY/S ON THE KEYBOARD. CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT -------------------- IN AN URBAN ENVIROMENT, AN ENFORCEMENT DROID IS LIKELY TO ENCOUNTER MANY DIFFERENT MODES OF ATTACK, WEAPONS SUCH AS A MACHINE GUN ARE NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE,AND ONLY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF FORCE MAY BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM AN ARREST. ROBOCOP IS ABLE TO MANIPULATE LIMBS FOR USE IN UN-ARMED COMBAT, HE IS ABLE TO PUNCH LOW AND HIGH,BLOCK INCOMING THRUSTS,PERFORM EVASIVE MANOEUVRES AND IS ALSO ABLE TO RECOVER HIMSELF FROM THE GROUND.

SOME OF THE BASIC RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: DO NOT GET TRAPPED IN A CORNER AND WAIT FOR OTOMO TO MOVE ON YOU. DO NOT RUN STRAIGHT AT HIM. OTOMO MAY SEEM TO FAR AWAY TO STRIKE OUT BUT BE CAREFUL. HE IS ABLE TO LEAP GREAT DISTANCES WITH FLYING KICKS. IF OTOMO MOVES CLOSE IN AND STARTS PUNCHING DONT SLUG IT OUT IN HAND TO HAND FIGHTING BECAUSE HE IS ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL HIS SWORD OUT AND STRIKE A DEADLY BLOW. SO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AND MOVE AWAY. NOTE:`P` CAN BE USED AT ALL TIMES TO PAUSE THE GAME. `J` CAN BE USED TO TOGGLE BETWEEN JOYSTICK AND MOUSE CONTROL [AMIGA ONLY] `M` CAN BE USED TO TOGGLE MUSIC ON/OFF DRIVING CONTROLS [RECOMMENDED CONTROL IS JOYSTICK] ---------------- [JOYSTICK] [KEYS] FORWARD - ACCELERATE CURSOR UP - ACCELERATE BACK - DECELERATE CURSOR DOWN - DECELERATE LEFT - TURN STEERING WHEEL LEFT CURSOR LEFT - STEERING WHEEL LEFT RIGHT - TURN STEERING WHEEL RIGHT CURSOR RIGHT- STEERING WHEEL RIGHT VIEWS ----- F1 - FRONT INTERNAL WITH DASH F2 - LEFT SIDE VIEW F3 - RIGHT SIDE VIEW F4 - EXTERNAL FIXED CAMERA VIEWS F5 - AERIAL PLAN VIEW F6 - FRONT FULL SCREEN [ROBOVISION] F7 - EXTERNAL REAR TRACKING VIEW OF TURBO CRUISER F8 - VIEW OF SUSPECT VEHICLE F9 - INTELLIGENT CA,MERA VIEW - IT ALWAYS SETS UP ANGLES TI VIEW TURBO CRUISER AND SUSPECT VEHICLE.
