Hints
Extra lives
There are two locations on level 1 where your character
can remain motionless to collect extra points and lives. After
starting level one, your character will find a futuristic car.
Do not destroy it. Jump over it and use it as a shield against
the attacks that originate from the left side of the screen. Keep
firing towards the right side of the screen, instantly killing
all opponents that appear from that direction to collect easy
points and the occasional extra life.
Later in level one, your character will collect homing missiles.
Take the missiles to the next higher platform, and out of the
way of the ground activity. Use the missiles to destroy all enemies
that come into range to accumulate more points and lives. Note:
When playing under the highest difficulty setting, a maximum of
twenty-nine lives may be accumulated.
Easy weapon change
Press [Start] pause game play and press [X]
to change weapons. You will notice that your weapons can change
even while the game is paused.
Continue game play
Play the game in two player mode. After losing all
lives and having the other player still alive, press [A]
or [B] (depending on which mode) to return to life.
