PLAYING THE GAME

Level 1

You're controlling your flying carpet and first watch out not to crash against
a pillar or building.
During this level you will be attacked by several enemies:
1. Red and perhaps a few other flying carpets. Shoot'em up or dodge them until
they disappear. PS: The brighter the colour of the flying carpet, the more
dangerous they are!
2. The three big scorpions. Shoot'em up by hitting each scorpion five times.
(The scorpions will flash when you've hit them.) Notice that the scorpions will
not disappear until you've shot all three down.
3. The 'Four-Eyed' Monster. (Three red and orange coloured monsters. Shoot'em
up by hitting each monster five times.)
4. The big Dragon. Kill the dragon by hittins him three times and notice that
he will not disappear until you've shot him down.
5. The `st big Centipede. Kill the centipede by hitting him three times and
notice that he will not disappear until you've shot him down.
6. The Bat. Shoot'em up or dodge them, if possible.
Please notice that after you've been killed your stamina will be decreased and
the game will continue with the next battle scenes.
During this level there will also appear some ICONS on the screen,. Pick them
up by flying against them. You will need the icons to play the sub-game at the
beginning of level 2!

Level 2
THE SUB GAME
Once you've survived the foregoing level, you're going to land and have to deal
with the leader (outlaw) of this particular desert-area. So you are going to
play the sub-game and by giving the outlaw the right icons (those you've picked
up in the foregoing level and those you already had) you will make him more
satisfied and your stamina will be increased. But if you give him the wrong
icons and make him less satisfied, then his warriors (flying carpets) will be
faster and even more furious during the next stage of this level!
PLAYING THE SUB-GAME:
You can only push an icon to the right, then it will stop until the mechanism
will move it UP or DOWN. Choose the desired icon by moving your joystick up or
down (or use the keyboard keys for up and down), then hold down the FIRE button
until you want to push the icon. An icon that is going up will be destroyed. An
icon that is going down and if it is the right icon, then it will raise the
'satisfaction-level' of the outlaw. However, if it is the wrong icon, then the
'satisfaction level' will be decreased. Notice that you will need 20 icons to
complete the whole 'satisfaction-level' and that the icons at the top are
pretty difficult. You'll have 60 seconds to complete the sub-game, or press 'E'
when you want to exit the sub-game at an earlier stage (so you don't have to
wait). If you did a good job, by making the outlaw satisfied, then your stamina
will be increased and the next stage of this level will not be that fast and
furious.....?
THE CLUES:
These are the right icons for this outlaw: (Staff) notes, the glass, heart
symbol, oil, pound symbol.
TIP: save the oil and pound icons for the following levels!
BACK ON YOUR FLYING CARPET:
After you've played the sub-game you're going back on your flying carpet and
will be attacked by several enemies.
There will appear new dragons, new monsters and more carpets, kill dragons and
monsters by hitting them 3/5 times and shot the carpets down if possible,
otherwise dodge them.

Level 3
THE CLUES OF THE SUB-GAME
These are the right icons for this outlaw: USA flag, revolver and the pound
symbol.
After you've played the sub-game you're going back on your flying carpet and
better prepare yourself for the next battle scenes.

Level 4
THE CLUES OF THE SUB-GAME:
These are the right icons for this outlaw: Russian flag, revolver, oil and
dollar symbol.
And of course you will go back on your flying carpet (as usual) and the action
will continue.

Level 5
THE CLUES OF THE SUB-GAME:
These are the right icons for this (final) outlaw: USA flag, oil and dollar
symbol.
After you've played this final sub-game, you're back (for the last time) on
your flying carpet and better prepare yourself for the final very tough action
scenes!
