Congratulations on being selected for the esteemed position of
|
|
ManHunter. This guide will introduce you to all of the information you will
|
|
find necessary to become an effective, loyal follower of the Orb Alliance.
|
|
ManHunter is the highest position a human can hold under the Alliance, so be
|
|
grateful.
|
|
|
|
Each day, you will be given an assignment by our sector's supervising
|
|
Orb. The assignments will involve tracking down humans who, in some way, have
|
|
wronged the Alliance. You will be given a 24 hour period to discover and
|
|
report the human's identity so that he can be corrected.
|
|
|
|
You have been issued one ManHunter Assignment Device (MAD). MAD is
|
|
your link to the Alliance computer. With MAD, you can access the tracking
|
|
records associated with your current assignment as well as the Human Database
|
|
Service. As Manhunter, you are allowed to travel to locations pertinent to your
|
|
current assignment. DO NOT STRAY OR LOITER. Always conduct yourself in a
|
|
manner suitable to your position. Treat your fellow earthlings with the
|
|
indifference they deserve.
|

|
MANHUNTER ASSIGNMENT DEVICE (MAD)
|
|
|
|
MAD is a small, portable apparatus linked by radio transmission to the
|
|
Alliance computer, MAD has two functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
INFO and TRACKER
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
INFO
|
|
|
|
This function provides access to limited information on all humans
|
|
currently residing in the Planet Earth city of New York. After pressing the
|
|
INFO button, type in the full name of the human. The Human Database Service
|
|
will then provide your MAD with information (Address, ID numbers, etc.) of the
|
|
selected human. After receiving information, you may select REPEAT to try
|
|
another name or select EXIT to leave the program. If you accidentally type in
|
|
the wrong name, you can try again or type BYE to leave the program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The Orb Alliance has authorized Manhunters to visit any address
|
|
furnished by the INFO system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a Manhunter, you are required to record all pertinent data that you
|
|
discover during your investigations. Luckily, INFO provides a means to ENTER
|
|
this data through its Autoscan feature. Whenever important information is
|
|
picked up by a Manhunter (important documents, notes, etc.), Autoscan
|
|
examines the data and stores important information into memory for future
|
|
access. To observe this data, select INFO from your MAD and type NOTES in
|
|
place of name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TRACKER
|
|
|
|
|
|
All human movement is recorded in the Human Tracking Records database
|
|
of the Alliance computer. Due to the low priority placed on these records,
|
|
tracking information on each human is only available from shortly before the
|
|
time of the alleged criminal activity to a time period not extending beyond the
|
|
end of that day. Due to unforeseen difficulties with human tracking disks, the
|
|
targeted human's identity is not recorded. Also, tracking of a target is cut
|
|
off if the human should venture under earth soil. However, this practice is
|
|
strictly forbidden and should not hamper your investigations.
|
|
|
|
One function of MAD is to tap into the appropriate human tracking
|
|
records for your current assignment. When MAD first accesses tracking records,
|
|
it will determine and then "tag" the most appropriate human target signal. A
|
|
playback will then begin of that target's movements throughout the city.
|
|
During playback, MAD will also display any other human targets that come in
|
|
close contact with the tagged human target.You may tag any of these human
|
|
subjects that you feel may be beneficial to your investigation. To tag a new
|
|
target, simply place your marker over the desired subject and press ENTER. The
|
|
yellow rotating target should change to the subject you have chosen. You may
|
|
replay tracking records as often as you find necessary. Manhunters are
|
|
authorized by the Orb Alliance to visit any location that a tagged target
|
|
visits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Experienced Manhunters have found that the most efficient way to use the
|
|
TRACKER is to watch it until it terminates transmission. Proceed to
|
|
replay the transmission, closing the MAD after the target leaves each
|
|
location. Travel to the location shown and investigate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SIGNAL TRACKER
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This is a recently installed feature that allows the recording of
|
|
various signals entering and leaving the Alliance central computer.
|
|
|
|
The Alliance central computer contains a Signal Analyzer which resides
|
|
in its I/O buffer. Once playback begins, the Analyzer determines if a tagged
|
|
signal contains restricted information. ANY TAGGED SIGNAL CONTAINING
|
|
RESTRICTED MATERIAL MUST BE INVESTIGATED. However, since the analyzer is in an
|
|
experimental stage, a certain amount of manual control is necessary. A signal
|
|
must first be tagged by the Manhunter before it can be analyzed. To tag a
|
|
signal, place the marker over the signal you wish to be tagged and press ENTER.
|
|
The signal will change color when it has been tagged. After a signal has been
|
|
tagged, it is automatically fed into the Analyzer. If the analyzed signal
|
|
contains restricted information, the signal can then be traced back to its
|
|
source by your MAD tracking device. After the traced signal leads you to a
|
|
suspect, you will follow normal Manhunter procedure to complete your
|
|
investigation.

MANHUNTER OVERVIEW
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A Sierra 3-D Animated Adventure Game, simply stated, is an interactive
|
|
movie where you become the main character. In this game, the main character is
|
|
a Manhunter, an agent of the future who spies on fellow humans for an alien
|
|
empire.
|
|
|
|
Each 3-D Animated Adventure Game has a main goal, and yours in
|
|
Manhunter is to track down humans for the Orb Alliance, learn the whereabouts
|
|
of the human underground, and ultimately discover the true purpose behind the
|
|
alien invasion. You will need to move stealthfully and wisely, as time is
|
|
quickly vanishing for America and its citizens.
|
|

|
|
TIPS ON PLAYING MANHUNTER
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. HOW TO MOVE AROUND
|
|
|
|
Basic instructions on how to interact with this game are included in
|
|
this manual and the reference cards enclosed. For those who are still not sure
|
|
of what to do, there is a WALK THRU included at the end of this manual.
|
|
|
|
2. KEEP YOUR FACE COVERED AND YOUR LIPS TIGHT
|
|
|
|
Due to the dangerous nature of this adventure game, you will want to
|
|
save your game often. Follow the instructions on your Manhunter Quick
|
|
Reference Card to SAVE GAME whenever you encounter a potentially dangerous
|
|
situation.
|
|
|
|
If you do encounter danger, or fail to complete all the required tasks
|
|
to get past a given obstacle, you can follow the instructions on your reference
|
|
card to RESTORE GAME to the place you were at when you last saved your game.
|
|
Intelligent use of this function has spared many Manhunter from having position
|
|
terminated permanently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Manhunter a New York employs a convenient feature that automatically
|
|
gives you a second chance after you have encountered the most grisly of
|
|
situations (namely, a gruesome death!). This feature allows you to face
|
|
the most unexpected of conclusions without requiring you to replay the
|
|
entire game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
|
|
|
|
Look at and examine everything you can. Watch closely those around
|
|
you. Pay close attention to detail. There are many clues, both visual and
|
|
symbolic, which will help you succeed in your quest.
|
|
|
|
4. TEAM UP AGAINST THE ENEMY
|
|
|
|
This orb-infested metropolis can be one mean place for a Manhunter to
|
|
live. You may find it helpful to play Manhunter with a friend. Different
|
|
humans come up with different ways to interpret clues, and besides, it makes
|
|
life a lot more fun.
|
|
|
|
5. GOT YOUR BACK AGAINST THE WALL?
|
|
|
|
If you've tried every trick of the trade and still can't get anywhere, don't panic. Even expert Manhunters have been known to get blown to shreds. It's just part of the job.
