Animals, if shot, will sometimes drop these items, however under no circumstances should you shoot any innocent civilians. You must protect the hostages on levels five and six from any harm in order to ensure their safe escape. Your energy level is shown on the right hand side of the screen and this will decrease if you are shot by a solitary soldier, (substantially if you are shot by a vehicle or you accidently kill a civilian or hostage). As you complete each level, a small amount of your energy is replenished and when you have just a few units left, the display will flash. To complete a level you must shoot and destroy the relevant number of soldiers, tanks, helicopters etc as displayed on the bottom of the screen. This will probably be the most dangerous mission you have ever undertaken. Be alert, be strong and above all be careful!

HINTS & TIPS * Don't fire constantly, save bullets. * Keep grenades for large groups of enemies and vehicles. * Shoot enemies which inflict most damage first.

THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS GAMEPLAY Real Ghostbusters is a one or two player multi-level game in which the players control members of the Ghostbusters team. The objective of the game is to fight your way through each of 10 levels, capturing and storing ghosts on the way. The end of each level features one or more guardians who, when defeated, will yield a key allowing the player(s) to exit that level. The characters are armed with both guns and Proton Beams. Creatures can be shot with either weapon to transform them into ghosts. The ghosts can then be zapped with proton beam to store them in the players' backpack. Ammunition for the gun is un-limited, the proton beam has a limited charge which is displayed at the top of the screen. Also displayed are the number of lives remaining and the number of ghosts collected. On reaching the end of the levelthere is a short graphic sequence in which collected ghosts are beamed into ghost storage. A bonus is awarded for each ghost: Some creatures and objects (e.g. oildrums, wheel-barrows) also award the player with bonuses: BEAM ENERGY UP SHOT POWER UP AURA POWER - providing a shield for a limited time SLIMER - the friendly ghost who will hover around the player, acting as a shield and zapping any creatures he touches (The latter two bonuses will be lost if the player loses a life).

Drax fled to the dungeons beneath his black castle, vowing to wreak disaster on the Jewelled Kingdom, It is decided that there is only one way to stop Drax. The barbarian and Mariana - herself an accomplished swordswoman - are the only two warriors skilled enough to survive the perilous journey to Drax's lair. They must stop him before it is too late. CHOICE OF CHARACTER You may choose to play either the barbarian or Princess Mariana. At the beginning of the game the two characters will appear. Choose your warrior by moving the joystick left or right and pressing FIRE. LEVELS You must fight your way through three levels - the Wastelands, the Caverns, and the Dungeons - before arriving at the fourth level, the Inner Sanctum of Drax. These sections must be played in the correct order. Each of the first three levels is a maze consisting of approximately 28 screens. As you view each screen it is possible to walk left, right, or into doors or caves at the back of the screen. The directions you are walking, as viewed on a map, is continually changing and therefore a compass (in which the sword always points north) has been provided at the bottom of the screen. When you reach the next level the Level Display will pulse as a warning. It is not advisable to leave a level without first collecting all available magical objects (see below). MONSTERS On each of the first three levels you must fight six different types of monster, some of which can be killed with one well-place blow. They are: The Wastelands Saurian beasts, Neanderthal men, Apes, Mutant Chickens, Stabbers, Floaters. The Caverns Carnivores, Orc Guards, Crabs, Slithering Things, Cave Trolls, Stingers. The Dungeon Pit Things, Dungeon Masters, Giant Grubs, Gobblers, Eyes, Orclets. If you survive to the Sanctum of Drax you must face The Living Idol, a great Demon and finally, the dreaded Drax! MAGICAL OBJECTS In each of the first three levels there are two magical objects that you will need to collect in order to survive throughout the quest. The axe increases your strength; The globe guards against death from Drax's magic; The potion increases your resistance; The key opens portcullis doors; The shield guards against instant death from the Demon's fire; The jewel disables the Living Idol when the idol is reached. ENERGY AND LIVES Your energy is displayed as a bar at the top right of the screen. When it runs out you lose a life. You start the game with five lives. More lives can be gained throughout the game by collecting any skullsy you may find. These contain the life-force of warriors who have preceeded you. When you lose all your lives you restart the current level. The energy of the current monster you are fighting is displayed as a bar at the top left of the screen. When it runs out the monster is destroyed. SCORING The more difficult fighting moves will score highly and do more damage. JOYSTICK MOVES These are your joystick moves when you are facing right (reverse these when facing left). JOYSTICK WITHOUT FIRE BUTTON PRESSED WITH FIRE BUTTON PRESSED RUN OVERHEAD OR RUNNING JUMP CHOP (WHEN PRECEEDED BY RUN) WALK WALK FLYING KICK BACKWARDS FORWARDS NECK CHOP THROUGH THROUGH DOOR DOOR TURN LOW AROUND CHOP KEYBOARD WITH SPACE BAR PRESSED: Q = RUN Q = OVERHEAD CHOP or A = TURN AROUND RUNNING JUMP when preceeded by RUN O = WALK BACKWARDS A = LOW CHOP P = WALK FORWARDS O = FLYING NECK CHOP N = THROUGH DOOR P = KICK To jump across holes or pits you will need to make a running jump.
