THE STORY

The game is set in a politically sensitive country. Your mission is to 
retrieve the peace documents that have been stolen by a spy. If you are 
captured, all knowledge of your existence will be disclaimed. The flight 
to the country in question will only take a few hours - just enough time 
to prepare yourself mentally for the task ahead. Equipment for your 
mission has already been loaded into the light aircraft you will be flying 
in. To your surprise you find you have a companion - a dog called Killer.

As you approach the landing zone you are informed by the pilot that there 
are problems with the engines and you will have to jump now. As you make 
your descent. Killer becomes nervous and manages to slip free from your 
grasp. You make a heavy landing in the trees. Some equipment has been 
damaged and seems to malfunction, although not all the time. Killer is 
nowhere to be seen. Your first task is to find him.


PLAYING THE GAME

To move your man around the playing area, use the left and right movement 
controls.

Access to menu system is gained by facing your man forward and pressing 
fire.

Each menu can be used in the following way:

Move the gun sight over the menu you wish to use and press fire. Then, move 
over the option and press fire again. To leave the menu system move the gun 
sight away from all the menus and press fire. To move into another part of 
the terrain, walk your character off the screen to the left or right. To move 
him to another screen, face him away and use the up movement control. To make 
him fire his gun, press the up or down control and then press fire. If you 
fire from a crouched postion, and the enemy fire at you from a shoulder 
position, their bullets will pass over you without harm. The game must be 
completed in order and the satelite messages will help with this.
