- GAME OBJECTIVE
- Somewhere hidden on the massive oil rig is a live nuclear warhead
- on a preset countdown to destruction. You must find and properly disarm
- the warhead before the timer reaches zero and the warhead detonates.
- To do this you are going to need both equipment and expert help.
-
- The rig is a massive structure divided into two sections. As the game
- begins you start the smaller right hand section. To move about,
- use the stairs and ladders. There are also four elevators. You'll
- only have access to one in the beginning, but by finding the three
- elevator cards you'll be able to unlock the others. Through out the
- complex you'll find many doors. Most are locked and to open these
- you'll need to find key cards. Behind these doors are both the
- equipment you'll need (Key cards, elevator cards and weapons) and the
- hostages that you'll need to rescue for their technical expertise.
-
- As the game starts you are armed with only an automatic pistol and 5
- magazines. You must conserve your ammo until more can be located.
- Weapons and ammunition may be found through out the complex. Look
- for a shot gun and a sub-machine pistol, each are very effective in
- their own way.
-
- The only other equipment you start with are shaped plastic explosive
- charges that can be used as alternatives to the key cards for opening
- doors.

- HINTS AND TIPS
- To find the bomb you must rescue the hostages and gather information
- from them.
-
- Writing down what the hostages say can be a good idea.
-
- Somewhere among the hostages is a Doctor who can field treat your wounds.
-
- Some of the hostages are frightened and confused and their insights are
- often general. Starting a search pattern based on the information
- you've received is a sound strategy.
-
- Remember to move quickly away after placing an explosive charge.
-
- The Pistol is the most ineffective weapon, it has low muzzle velocity,
- th chamber action is slow, and it will take several shots to take out
- a target.
-
- The 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun is slow to fire. Each round must be hand
- pumped into the chamber. It is very effective however, one round will
- take out one of the terrorists.
-
- The Uzi has low stopping power but it's rapid fire makes up for this.
- Take out whole corridors in seconds.
-
- IF you succeed in finding the bomb, you'll still have to disarm it.
- There are four colored wires and you must cut one of them... but which
- one? Cut the wrong wire and you'll be standing at ground zero in the
- biggest fireball the worlds ever seen.
-
- End.
