Instructions (German)

OCS

During play, type “SCHLIKA”. The border should flash. Press ‘F2’ to finish the level.

If you pause the game you can still move your guns crosshair.

 

(GENERAL HINTS)

1. Shoot as many of the buildings as you can, as they block your

shots at attacking / hiding enemies.

2. Shoot the enemies at the bottom of the screen as the bullets

they fire needless time to get to you and can often trap you in

a corner.

3. Don’t forget that you can shoot the enemies’ bullets!

4. Try to pick up the bonuses straight away. The 100, 200 and 300

point bonuses are very useful if you want extra lives.

5. Collect special weapons straight away as their rapid fire

removes buildings faster, giving more breathing space.

6. The grey uniformed soldiers (the ones that take a few shots to

kill) can give a grenade or a special weapon. When he does, two

men carrying a stretcher will appear. Shoot these and they

will give you two grenades, collect them and then shoot them

again before they go, to receive two more grenades.

7. Never stay in corners for too long, the enemy has a habit of

zeroing in on you.

8. Don’t waste grenades on buildings unless you really need to.

If you opt to shoot in small bursts at every building rather

than concentrating on one building at a time then a grenade may

finish the job a lot quicker.

9. Try not to get killed when the end-level guardians appear

otherwise your FOE meter will drop to zero and you’ll have to

start again.
