Our hero's cor has crashed on Planet Goth, and he has to
score another set of wheels lest he keep his blind date
waiting Lo! The denizens are unfriendly! And it's no
cakewalk for our android son. who must dispose of the
hostile natives before they run him out of town.

You must use your wit and B.O.B.'s firepower to get out of
Dodge and onward to the date. Begin on Planet Goth with
three lives, a single-shot gun (50 rounds) and a trampoline
remote 13 charges). You have to make your way through
the level until you reach the swirling orange teleporter.
Along the way, B.O.B. must deal with a slew of enemies
and obstacles. And he has to use strategy and agility in
order to upgrade his weapons, remotes and energy level.

When B.O.B. finally reaches a swirling orange teleporter,
he is transported to the surface of Goth, and he enters the

5

next level. Sooner or loter B.O.B. is bound to find a car he
can drive to pick up his date. In any case, be prepared to
visit two other worlds, Anciena and Ultraworld And be
prepared to encounter some straaaaannnnge creatures!

SCORING

B.O.B. scores big when he offs his enemies! When he nets
200,000 points he gets another life!

Lives

You begin the game with three lives. Whenever B.O.B.'s
Power Bar disappears, he loses a life. The gome is over
when he loses all of his lives.

The Clock

This tells you how much time you have to complete the
level. It runs backwards. When you're time is down to
zero, your power bar quickly runs out, and that's all folks!

Wrenches, Energizers & 1-ups

Wrenches revitalize B.O.B.'s 'Power*. Look for these and be
sure to grab them.

A 1-up icon gives B O B. another life.

To pick up a wrench or a 1-up: Pass over them. If the
items are out of reach, jump or use a remote.

remote.

Power Bar

This is not candy! It shows how much energy B O B. has
left When B.O.B.'s energy reaches 50% the Power Bar
turns orange. When his energy reaches 25% the Power
Bar turns red. When the Power Bar disappears B.O.B.
disappears!

The Boss Bar shows the energy level of a Boss, which is an
unusually wicked monster B.O.B. encounters now and then

orange. When its energy reaches 25% the Boss Bar turns
red. When the Boss Bar disappears the Boss disappears.
At levels without a Boss the meter is solid gray.

GUNS 'n' REMOTES

This is not a rock band. B O B. can shoot six kinds of
ammunition from his gun arm. Remotes are the tricked out
gadgets he pulls out in crisis situations.
