MINIT MAN is a three-screened game in which you have to load and
|
|||
|
|
launch 3 interplanetary missiles before the alien mother ship destroys
|
|||
|
|
you. The missles you must use to destroy the mother ship are on the
|
|||
|
|
other side of a gorge with a broken bridge. You have to fly to the
|
|||
|
|
government warehouse on the right-hand screen, pick up trusses and
|
|||
|
|
beams, one at a time, and fly them back to complete the bridge on the
|
|||
|
|
left-hand screen. Meanwhile, you must protect the launch computer in
|
|||
|
|
the command building in the center screen from the attacking alien
|
|||
|
|
robots. Once you have built the bridge, the train automatically brings
|
|||
|
|
a missle to the launching pad on the middle screen. You then land,
|
|||
|
|
leave the 'copter, and proceed down the back-and-forth hallways of the
|
|||
|
|
command building and reach the computer which then fires the missles.
|
|||
|
|
You must launch all three missles in under 5 minutes in order to
|
|||
|
|
complete the first level.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To build bridge: once you have a beam or truss picked up from
|
|||
|
|
warehouse, fly to bridge, position it EXACTLY and press both fire
|
|||
|
|
buttons at the same time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To kill robots: robots fly down at center screen and enter command
|
|||
|
|
building to get launch computer. When they are hit with 3 shots, they
|
|||
|
|
turn into a land mine which kills you or damages a robot if it is
|
|||
|
|
touched. Sometimes a robot will fly to destroy bridge instead of
|
|||
|
|
computer, so you must try to protect both screes at the same time. The
|
|||
|
|
minit man can fire lazer, jump mines, & duck shots.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To manuever helicopter: it faces in 5 directions, and it flys fastest
|
|||
|
|
in the direction it is facing. To change directions, push button 1
|
|||
|
|
while pointing joystick to desired direction. Fire lazer cannon with
|
|||
|
|
button 0.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You lose when: the time on the clock runs out, all 5 minit men die, or
|
|||
|
|
a robot gets to the launch computer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If all this sounds tough, there are some advantages you do have. Your
|
|||
|
|
copter flies faster than the robots, you can shoot through the windows
|
|||
|
|
in the command building to kill robots easily, and if minit man dies
|
|||
|
|
inside the building, he leaves a power pill which makes next minit man
|
|||
|
|
faster and clogs robot's lazers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Missellaneous: you can enter the command building from either the
|
|||
|
|
center or right-hand screen. Also, watch out for robot lazer cannons
|
|||
|
|
perched above the bridge on left screen and warehouse on right
|
|||
|
|
screen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
This is a difficult game to master, if you can ever master it at all!
