THE EVENTS ARE AS FOLLOWED: OBSTACLE COURSE ? SET IN A SIDE-SCROLLING SEGMENT, THE PLAYER MUST REACH THE END OF THE STAGE UNDER THE ALLOTTED TIME BEFORE HIS OPPONENT WHILE CLIMBING WALLS AND CLEARING BARS. LOSING TO THE CPU OR TO ONE ANOTHER DOES NOT MEAN GAME OVER AS LONG AS THE PLAYERS CROSS THE FINISH LINE WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME. SHOOTING RANGE NO. 1 ?

EVENTUALLY THE PLAYER MUST CROSS A LAKE BY EITHER SWIMMING OR ROWING A BOAT. LOSING TO THE CPU OR TO ONE ANOTHER DOES NOT MEAN GAME OVER AS LONG AS THE PLAYERS CROSS THE FINISH LINE WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME. SHOOTING RANGE NO. 2 ? SAME AS THE FIRST ONE, BUT NOW WITH MOVING TARGETS. ARM WRESTLING ? THE TWO RECRUITS ARE PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER IN A MATCH OF STRENGTH AND STAMINA. THIS IS MORE LIKE A BONUS STAGE THAN AN ACTUAL COURSE: THE PLAYER IS NOT PENALIZED FOR LOSING. SHOOTING RANGE NO. 3 ? THE THIRD AND FINAL SHOOTING RANGE STAGE FEATURES PENALTY TARGETS. FIGHTING ? THE PLAYER FACES AGAINST HIS INSTRUCTOR IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT IN THE FINAL EVENT. THERE IS NO MAKE-UP PUNISHMENT IN THIS EVENT. IF A PLAYER LOSES THIS EVENT, IT IS GAME OVER NO MATTER WHAT. IF PLAYED WITH A SECOND PLAYER, THEN THE TWO PLAYERS MUST FIGHT EACH OTHER. ONLY THE VICTOR IS ALLOWED TO GRADUATE.

THE FINAL STAGE CONSIST OF A SINGLE SIDE-SCROLLING LEVEL WHERE THE PLAYER MUST FIGHT OFF TERRORISTS USING ALL THE SKILLS ACQUIRED DURING THE COURSE OF TRAINING. THIS STAGE CAN ONLY BE PLAYED BY ONE PLAYER.

PERFORMING USEFUL ACTIONS IN EACH MODE, YOU'LL GAIN POINTS, AND GATHERING 5,000 POINTS IN EACH MODE WILL GIVE YOU A SEAT OF TACTICAL COMMANDER.

TEN-PIN BOWLING IS PLAYED FROM A SIDE-ON VIEW, ALTHOUGH ONCE THE SHOT HAS BEEN TAKEN YOU SEE THE RESULTS UNFOLD FROM THE BOWLER'S VIEW. THERE ARE THREE STAGES TO TAKING A SHOT. MOVE THE PLAYER UP AND DOWN TO LINE UP HIS RUN-UP, PRESSING FIRE TO SET THE POSITION. THEN, DO THE SAME TO SET THE ANGLE OF THE SHOT. FINALLY, AFTER PRESSING FIRE TO START THE RUN-UP, PRESS IT AGAIN TO TIME THE RELEASE OF THE BALL, AS CLOSE TO THE LINE AS POSSIBLE. DARTS HAS 4 SKILL AND 3 SPEED LEVELS, AND PLAYERS CAN PLAY TO 301, 501 OR 701, TO VARY GAME LENGTH OR PROVIDE A HANDICAPPING SYSTEM. YOU CAN ALSO SET WHETHER SCORING MUST START OR END WITH A DOUBLE. VIEWED FROM BEHIND THE BOARD, YOU MUST FIRST LINE UP THE DART, THEN SET THE DART'S CURVATURE AND POWER BY STOPPING A CURVED GAUGE ON THE RIGHT, THEN A RISING POWER BAR ON THE LEFT. THE VIEW THEN CHANGES TWICE - FIRST A BEHIND-THE-PLAYER VIEW TO SHOW THE DART'S APPROACH, THEN A CLOSE-UP OF THE BOARD TO SHOW WHERE IT LANDED. AIR HOCKEY PLAYS FOR FIVE MINUTES, OR UNTIL SOMEONE HAS SCORED 12 POINTS. THE VIEW IS ABOVE THE PITCH BUT ANGLED SO AS TO EMPHASIZE THE GOAL AT THE TOP. PING-PONG FEATURES A HANDICAPPING SYSTEM - SIX ABILITY AREAS CAN BE GRADED FROM 1-5, TO ENSURE A CLOSELY-MATCHED GAME. AGAIN THE VIEW IS FROM BEHIND ONE COURT. TO IMPART DIRECTION ONTO A SHOT, THE ANGLE MUST BE PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FIRE BUTTON. 1 19870101T000000 DesignStar Consultants, Inc.

POOR NIMROD IS SENT TO RESCUE A FEW OF HIS BIOPTON COMPANIONS FROM THE HANDS OF THE BRUTAL CRATONS, WHO HAVE IMPRISONED THEM IN A CHAIN OF PRISON PLANETS COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS "THE MATRIX". NIMROD MUST TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE GALAXY, INFILTRATE EACH PLANET WHERE MATRIX ACTIVITY IS DETECTED AND RESCUE HIS FRIENDS. HE MAY USE THE OBJECTS LEFT AT HIS DISPOSAL, SUCH AS TV CAMERAS, WHICH PROVIDE VALUABLE INTEL ABOUT EACH COMPLEX, THE AMMO CRATES, WHICH CONTAIN WEAPONS NEEDED TO DEFEAT THE DISRUPTORS AND GUARDS, AND THE BUILDING BLOCKS, WHICH CAN BE USED AS PROTECTION OR TO ACTIVATE WEIGHT SENSORS. AT THE SAME TIME, HE MUST AVOID, IF POSSIBLE, THE ARMED GUARDS, THE DISRUPTORS, WHICH WILL BLOCK HIS WAY, THE MINES AND THE BLACK ICE. ONCE NIMROD LOCATES A HOSTAGE, HE NEEDS TO TAKE HIM TO THE LANDING ZONE AND EXTRACT HIM TO HIS SPACESHIP IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE RESCUE. "THE FINAL MATRIX" IS AN ISOMETRIC ARCADE WITH ADVENTURE ELEMENTS, SUCH AS PUZZLES AND TRAPS. A NOVELTY FEATURE IS THAT EVERY MATRIX CAN BE ENTERED AT ANY TIME, FOLLOWING NO PARTICULAR ORDER, WHICH MAY APPEAL TO CASUAL PLAYERS. 0.55 19870101T000000 Gremlin Gremlin Graphics Software ACTION 1 ./media/images/Final Matrix, The (Europe).png ./Flintstones, The (Europe).tzx THE FLINTSTONES THE FLINTSTONES IS A GAME BASED ON THE POPULAR CARTOON SERIES THE FLINTSTONES BY HANNA-BARBERA PRODUCTIONS INC.

THE GAME IS LICENSED FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY-BELOVED STEVEN SPEILBERG FILM OF THE SAME NAME, IN WHICH A MOTLEY CREW OF SUBURBAN KIDS IN ASTORIA, OREGON, MUST SAVE THEIR HOMES FROM BEING FORECLOSED UPON AND FIND THEIR SALVATION IN A TREASURE MAP LEADING TO AN OLD PIRATE SHIP IN A CAVERN. HOWEVER, THEY MUST MANEUVER AROUND AN ECCENTRIC FAMILY OF ITALIAN CRIMINALS -- THE FRATELLIS -- ON THE LAM, WHO ARE ALSO ON THE TRAIL OF THE TREASURE. THE GAME IS DIVIDED INTO A SERIES OF EIGHT SCREENS BASED ON SCENES FROM THE FILM, EACH OF WHICH CONTAINS UNIQUE AND CREATIVE PUZZLES THAT MUST BE SOLVED BY COORDINATING THE ACTIVITIES OF TWO OF THE KIDS FROM THE GOONIES (AND IN THE LAST SCREEN, THE ELEPHANT-MAN-LIKE SLOTH) WITHOUT GETTING KILLED BY DEADLY BATS, HOMICIDAL FRATELLIS, FLYING DEMON-SKULL THINGIES, OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN ONE SCREEN ONE PLAYER MUST WIND UP AND HOLD A WINCH THAT LIFTS A LARGE STONE SO THAT THE OTHER PLAYER CAN PASS IT, RUN BACKWARD ON A BALL FLOATING IN DEADLY WATER, BYPASS A SERIES OF THREE WATER BUCKETS GOING UP AND DOWN THAT KILL YOU IF YOU DO NOT TIME YOUR PASSAGE UNDERNEATH CORRECTLY, JUMP TO THE TOP OF A RAIL, AND SLIDE ACROSS TO GRAB THE KEY TO THE DOOR BELOW -- AND ALL THIS WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY A WANDERING BAT. ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTIC ELEMENTS OF THIS SERIES OF GAMES IS THAT IT WAS ORGANIZED MORE LIKE AN ARCADE GAME THAN AN ADVENTURE GAME; THE GAME KEPT A SCORE AND A HIGH SCORE, YOU GOT A CERTAIN NUMBER OF LIVES, WHICH WOULD BE REPLENISHED AT CERTAIN POINTS OR AT CERTAIN SCORE TOTALS, AND THERE WAS NO SAVE FEATURE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE GAME HAD TO BE PLAYED ALL IN ONE SITTING, NEAR-PERFECTLY, TO SEE THE ENDING. AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED, NOT MANY PEOPLE FINISHED THESE GAMES. (HOWEVER, NOWADAYS WITH EMULATORS AND MEMORY-STATE-SAVING FEATURES, THIS IS NO LONGER SUCH A FRUSTRATING PROBLEM.)

THERE ARE 16 LEVELS IN TOTAL, WITH NUMBERS 2-12 IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE AFTER COMPLETING THE FIRST - THE PLAYER CAN GO THROUGH THEM IN ANY ORDER. HOWEVER, LEVELS 13-16 ARE LOCKED UNTIL THE PLAYER EARNS ENOUGH CRYSTALS. THE WEAPON SYSTEM IS QUITE UNIQUE - THE PLAYER CONSTANTLY FIRES, AND THE FIRE BUTTON IS SIMPLY USED TO CHANGE THE CURRENT WEAPON. THE BASIC WEAPON IS THE ORBITER, WHICH THE PLAYER ALWAYS HAS. PICKING UP WEAPON ICONS INCREASES THE POWER OF A WEAPON BY 1 UP TO THE MAXIMUM OF POWER LEVEL 4. DYING REDUCES THE CURRENT WEAPON BY 1 POWER LEVEL, OR LOSES IT IF THE WEAPON IS POWER 1 (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ORBITER). AS THE WEAPONS GET MORE POWER, THEIR FIRE RATE BECOMES FASTER AND THE BULLETS STRONGER. THE FIVE WEAPONS ARE ORBITER, 8-WAY (UPGRADES FROM 2 TO 4 TO 6 TO 8 WAY FIRE), RAILGUN (POWERFUL SINGLE BULLET WHICH GETS LONGER) PULSE (FIRES STRAIGHT FORWARD AND GAINS DIAGONAL FIRE AT POWER 3/4) AND WALL (ANOTHER FORWARD FIRE, WHICH GAINS SIZE). 0 19890101T000000 Gareth J.
