-
- When the megalomanical alien dictator of the incredibly evil Styx Empire
- decides to Take over the world, only one man has the guts and the inventive
- genius to stand in his way: Sven Svardensvart - inventor, ace pilot,
- square-jawed hero and all-round good guy.
-
-
-
-
-
- The place is Earth. The year, 1999, but the Earth of a different timeline,
- where the last two World Wars were never fought and aviation technology
- hasn't advanced beyond the power-propped plane. There are no microwave
- ovens and TV is still in black and white. (MG: It sounds like Wales!?)
- There are no Superpowers. Humankind lives peacefully- until... Blardax
- Maldrear, uglier than a Phreenian Foot-toad and the exquisitely evil alien
- emperor of the Styx Empire, has an exquisitely evil idea.. Wouldn't it be
- great (he thinks), if the exquisitely evil Styx Empire covered every last
- millimetre of good old planet Earth?
-
- The invasion begins - and only one man stands in the way of Blardax's
- relentless lust for world domination - his name: Sven Svardensvart...
-
- Sven escapes to the last free place on Earth and swiftly builds and
- incredible flying machine, bristling with guns, rockets and other deadly
- weapons. He calls this plane the 'Banshee' - and thus begins his one
- man rebellion against the exquisitely evil technological might of the
- Styxian invaders.
-
-
-
-
- Banshee begins with a brief Introductory Sequence, followed by the Core
- Design logo. Next, the Banshee logo will appear followed by the Banshee
- Main Menu Title screen. If you wait a moment, you will see a short
- demonstration of the game which you may want to watch to get an idea of
- what to expect. If you decide to skip this screen and go to the Main Menu,
- press the Fire button at any time.
-
- The Main Menu gives you the choice of starting a New Game or going to the
- Options screen to change the game settings. Use the Joystick to move up
- or down the list and press the Fire button to make your selection.
-
-
-
-
- This is the screen where you can change the basic set-up of the game.
-
- PLAYER 1 USES: Select to choose control method for player 1. You have
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the choice of Mouse, 1-Button Joystick or 2-Button Joystick.
-
- NOTE: player 1's controller is plugged into port 2.
-
- PLAYER 2 USES: Select to choose control method for player 1. You have
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the choice of Mouse, 1-Button Joystick or 2-Button Joystick.
-
- Keep players on screen (ON/OFF): This will allow you - in 2-player mode only
- - to choose whether or not you want to allow the Banshee planes to move
- off-screen when both planes are moving away from each other, horizontally.
-
- DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are three difficulty levels in Banshee - Easy, Normal & Hard. With
- Easy selected, it will only be possible to play the first 2 levels and you
- wont be able to enter your name in the High Score List. With Normal or
- Hard selected, you can play all 4 levels.
-
- SPLIT POWER UPS (ON/OFF):
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Only select for a 2-player game. In the 2-player version of Banshee, the
- Pick Up icons will usually appear in pairs. There are two ways in which
- you can collect them. Select ON and the icons appear in two colours, you
- will only be able to collect the Pick Up which corresponds to your player
- colour. Select OFF and the icons appear in one colour, they can then be
- collected by either player - allowing you to seriously annoy your friend
- by grabbing both Pick Ups before him/her.
-
-
-
-
- You, as the player, take control of the heroic Sven Svardensvart as he flies
- his Banshee fighter-plane against the might of the exquisitely evil alien
- invaders. At any time during combat, a second player can join in by simply
- pressing the fire button (if a joystick is fitted) or the left mouse button
- (if using a mouse). Player 2 will then immediately take control of a
- second Banshee fighter and assist Sven in his attack on the incredibly
- malevolent and not-at-all-nice Styx Empire.
