Heedless of warnings from nature and of social unrest
human society collapsed even as the 21st century ushered
in a new era of technology. In the wake of riots, food
shortages and crime, cities became ruins and were divided
into armed camps. Natural disasters made life difficult for
those who survived the collapse. Earthquakes and volcanos
devastated several of the earth's great metropolises. In this
world of anarchy, human life was full of violence, hatred and
hopelessness. The only source of amusement for these
people was the Battle dame,

The Battle Game pitted two fighters against each other in
arena-like combat. For the amusement of the masses,
advanced technology was twisted to create giant armored
riot suits, actually hydraulically powered humanoids, called
"Standing Tanks" or STs for short. Battles between these
metal monsters continued until only one combatant was left
standing. Victory in the Battle Game meant power and
prestige. Those who survived a loss in the arena became low
class citizens and were forced to serve the winners.

But not all accepted their lots in life. Although his father
had been defeated in the Battle Game, young Mike Anderson
refused to live with the station forced on him by the Battle
Game's codes. He was determined to seek vengeance on the
fighter who had defeated his father: Anubis and his ST,
TH A N AT OS. Mi ke ded Icated h is la fe to
learning all he could about the
technology of the STs- their
weapons, mechanical workings
and defensive systems.

As Mike trained his mind
and body, however, Anubis com
tinned to win
more power in the
Battle Game. Anubis promoted the best
fighters, in the Battle Game to be his
"Chiefs," With this title each was given
control over a portion of the ruined
earth, Rather than issuing a standard
Battle Game challenge to another
ST, Mike was faced with a more
dangerous undertaking. He had
to fight his way through Anubis's
Chiefs to reach his ultimate
goal: a battle dash to the
finish with Anubis
and his ST
THA NATOS.

in its arsenal. You can intercept and
block most types of enemy shots
with a single turbo shot, but some
may require additional shots. Any
kind of attack can be intercepted
with a fully charged blast. Block and
counterattack to survive.

After fighting for a while, the Battle Game inevitably leaves
an ST mined, either yours or the enemy's. What happens
next depends on which Game Mode you are playing.

BATTLE MODE: VICTORY

If you win the fight, your foe
will lament his loss. You will
then see the map screen, which
shows where your next battle
will take place. Shoot the
screen to advance to the next
enemy. The game ends when
you beat 1 HANATQS,

BATTLE MODE: DEFEAT

If you lost or if 10 minutes
pass and you have not de¬
feated your foe, your game will
be over and you will be faced
with the GAME OVER screen.
Make your choice by shooting
at the appropriate target:
SELECT, RETRY or EMD.

You can select these special items by
pressing the Cursor button on the
Super Scope. Once you have selected
the one you want, press Fire to use it.

BOMB ....

The Bomb will slowly fly toward the point you aimed at.
After a short time it will explode, causing a lot of damage to
the enemy. You get only one Bomb per enemy.

PLASMA BOMB ssa •.*

This weapon allows you to launch charged gun energy as a
Bomb, Because you must charge your gun to 100% in order
to use the Bomb, you cannot defend yourself while using it

HOMING LASER ED .

This weapon will launch a burst of laser
beams directly at the enemy’s body. These
beams will automatically hit the enemy,
but they cannot chase an enemy that is
not visible on the view screen.

CURSOR m . **.*....

When you select this item and press Fire,
you can then make an aiming cursor
appear on the screen by pressing the
CURSOR button. This item will only be
available in certain stages.

5H/ELD m . V-SYSTEM m

This item surrounds you with
an energy shield for a short
time. The Shield protects
you from attacks.

This shields your ST and
increases Its power and
speed temporarily but at the
cost of most of your energy.

Each warrior will devise his own strategy for dealing with the
different foes he will meet in the Battle Came. Here are some
basic tips even a beginner should know:

CHARGE YOUR WEAPON AND FIRE! .

Fully charged Energy Bolts are dew
a stating to the enemy. If you hit an
enemy's body with such a shot f you
can sometimes prevent It from at¬
tacking, Energy Bolts will also
severely damage enemy guns,

USE TUJIBO SHOTS FOR DEFENSE! .

Although turbo shots will not dam¬
age an enemy much, they can be
useful to intercept an enemy's pro¬
jectiles, Avoid taking damage and
you will live longer and have a better
chance of defeating your foe.

FiND THE ENEMY*S WEAK POINT! .

During combat if an enemy part
flashes, that means you have scored
a hit. If you just hear a metallic
pinging sound, your shot is not af¬
fecting the enemy. Find the enemy's
weak point and attack It!

MAKE GOOD USE OF THE BOMB!* *****

Fhe Bom b wi 11 i nfli ct massive damage
on most enemies. The explosion will
also destroy all the enemy's bullets
that are on the screen. You get only
one Bomb per enemy and you can't
carry unused Bombs to the next foe,

The ST SCARAB has some of the most powerful
armor you will encounter. Even fully charged shots
may not damage its shell. However, when it opens
its front gun port to fire at
you, take the opportunity
to hit the machinery under¬

laserblast. A few shots into
this area will cause critical
damage to SCARAB,

Tasha prefers a running battle down the side of a

maneuvering. Eventually, the fight will reach the
foot of the peak and then
the real battle will begin,
ARTEMIS makes up for lack
of armor by maneuvering
quickly. The primary attack
method of ARTEMIS is to
launch a volley of missiles.
