|
||
|
||
|
||
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!
