GAME STORY

Direct your attention to the center ring!!

The star of the show—AERO THE ACRO BAT—is about to make his
entrance and dazzle you with his amazing feats of bravery. Today only, we
have a special show for you. The World of Amusement Circus and Funpark
has been sabotaged by the evil Edgar Ektor, an ex-circus clown bent on
revenge, Ektor's henchmen include the bitter Zero the Acrobrat who's been
jealous of Aero's popularity and other psycho circus performers and fair¬
ground freaks.

Now, the moment you've been waiting for,

I'd like to introduce the amazing, the
one-and-only,,,

AERO THE ACRO-BATm

The master of acro bat ics blasts out of cannons,
dives through hoops of fire, plunges into water
tanks, hangs on to a speeding roller coaster out of con¬
trol and bungee jumps over rocky waters. These are only a
few of the stunts he shall perform to make the World of
Amusement safe for the spectators. Aero uses his power drill
and magic stars to dispose of the circus enemies. He must fend off the fire-
breathers and knife-throwers while performing in the Circus and Funpark,
Then Aero will travel through the Woods to get to the Museum of Horrors,
This is where the showdown between Aero and Edgar Ektor and Zero will
take place. No other circus show can compare!

This is unlike any game you've ever played. There are thrills, chills, and
sometimes spills, so look out below—here comes AERO!

out there's danger, mass panic will break out. As the saying goes,
"The show must go on]

for some slippin' and slidin'

because Aero has to ride the

rapids* Aero now has the ability to Jump and Duck

to avoid hitting the spikes.

The mystery of the museum, filled with Horrors, awaits Aero. Only
from a mind as evil as Edgar Ektor's could come something as
perverse as the Museum of Horrors. Here is where Aero must find
Zero and Edgar and put them both to
an end. Be ready for "Green Slime,"
bolts of lightning, Marvin the
Magician, and Mechanical Mike.

Good Luck...you're going to need it!
