THE COMMAND CENTRE 



The dictator’s new command centre and office complex is being 

built on top of a mountain filled with underground tunnels and 

caverns. An armoury building is on the top left of the mountain, 

and a missile silo is on the top right. The central top area is 

still being developed. There is only one way out of the mountain, 

which is the long entrance tunnel on the bottom left, sometimes 

protected by an electrified perimeter fence. This site covers 

over 700 computer screens. On the stolen disk, the rebels have 

found a small outline map.



QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS 



Drop into building. Watch out for pumas and android guards. 

Search through the command centre for boxes of supplies (these 

contain the objects that appear in your HELD display). Check each 

box for pieces of PUNCHED TAPE (and remember its location for 

later games). You get paid for killing guards and pumas, 

collecting tape, and escaping. Get down towards the bottom centre 

of the underground caves (use the lifts if time is short) where 

you will find a motorbike on which you can drive to safety. 



SCREEN DISPLAYS 



The HELD DISPLAY shows the object that you are carrying and ready 

to throw. 



The NEAR DISPLAY shows nearby objects that you can pick up or 

use. If you press the TAKE control when an object is shown in the 

NEAR DISPLAY it gets swapped with your HELD DISPLAY. The objects 

are mainly stored in boxes, some of which may be filled with many 

items. Each time you press the THROW/USE control you will swap 

the object at the top of the box with your current object which 

goes to the bottom. Some items cannot be seen distinguished in 

the dark and are shown as QUESTION MARKS. If you take one and it 

is punched tape it will automatically be added to your 

collection, otherwise it will be some kind of throwable weapon 

(eg. a rock) and will go into your HELD DISPLAY. Search through 

ALL THE OBJECTS in a box (when the word “NEAR” will change 

colour) to check for punched tape. Note that these boxes will be 

in the same place with the same objects at the start of all 

missions, so use a low skill level to find their location in the 

building. When a box is empty your NEAR DISPLAY will show the top 

of the box with an arrow above it. 



The TIMER ticks down the time till the missile fires. On higher 

skill levels (or “selected missions”) you will need to collect 

sufficient punched tape to be able to operate the terminal next 

to the missile before blast-off, in order to redirect its flight 

path (and score a large bonus). If you care for your life (and 

extra pay) you should also try to escape before blast-off. 



The PAY DISPLAY shows your earnings in US dollars. You get paid 

for collecting punched tape, redirecting the missile (by using 

the control terminal next to it), fighting with pumas and guards, 

and escaping. 



The RED BAR below the PAY DISPLAY shows your energy level. This 

will go down when you get burned, when you fight, fall, drown or 

get bitten; but it will go up if you stand still. If you run out 

of energy you die. 



Pieces of PUNCHED TAPE will appear one piece at a time between 

the pay display and your energy display. When you have enough 

pieces to redirect the missile the last one changes colour to 

GREEN. On skill level 1 you are not asked to redirect the 

missile, so all the tape you collect will be white. 



CONTROL TERMINALS 



In various parts of the complex you will find computer control 

terminals (waist high) which sometimes have a video display on 

the wall behind them (not in the caves). Move to the centre of a

terminal and press the USE control to operate it. Terminals 

control the lifts, the missile, and the electrified perimeter 

fence. 



FIGHTING 



The PUMAS will snap at your heels and cause your energy to run 

down. You may jump ever them, or kill them either by throwing 

objects at them (remember to press the DOWN control at the same 

time as the THROW control), or by crouching down and punching 

them in the teeth. It is rumoured that the dictator also uses 

vampire bats. 



All the ANDROID GUARDS have throwing knives, a flame-thrower, and 

may resort to unarmed combat (punching and kicking). They are 

inhuman, very strong, and unlikely to he killed by a single blow. 

Try throwing a knife at them first, then give a hard flying-kick, 

followed by a couple of low punches. If a guard throws a knife at 

you or shoots at you, you can DUCK down out of the way, or try to 

somersault out of trouble. They can’t follow you over a change in 

floor level. It is rumoured that the dictator has a source of 

infinite energy somewhere deep underground. 



SKILL LEVELS 



Unless a friend tells you the code words, you will only be able 

to play at the lowest skill level until you have completed that 

mission successfully. After each successful mission you are given 

the code word to the next more difficult one. 



The skill levels or “missions” require you to complete 

increasingly more hazardous tasks and collect extra pieces of 

tape (14 maximum)
