DO YOU DARE ACCEPT THIS MISSION???

Not since the cheesy Limberger Case has a kidnapping attracted as much
attention as the abduction of Doctor "0". It seems this world-acclaimed
genius behind the U.S. military defense system was enjoying the breakfast
of braincells (powdered eggs and grape juice), when he and his fetching
secretary, Shannon, were mercilessly snatched by the Sinister Seven.
Unknown to the Sinister Seven is the startling fact that Shannon - although
a very able stenographer - is really an agent from the Impossible Mission
Force (IMF), assigned to protect the good Doctor. Using all her skill and
cunning. she has managed to send a secret code cluing you in on where
they're being held.

But before you and your team of special agents start high-fiving each other.
you'll have to go hand-to-hand with scum like Slash Stiletto and Jean Claude
Killer. And you must slink your way through Six murderous mazes, from
underground warfare off the coast of Cyprus to hand grenade ski runs in the
Swiss Alps. Also included in these killer mazes are untold numbers of
Espionage Zones!
Before you yodel "Uncle", remember that you have control of three different
spy identities - Max, Grant and Nicholas. Each has special talents up his
sleeve (like quick-change disguises and remote control bombs) which you'll
need to stay alive amid the acid flames, poisonous gas chamhers and much,
much more!

So go ahead, Jimbo. Put your life on the line and accept this seemingly
impossible mission. Or else the good Doctor will be tortured into spilling
the top-secret beans about the U.S. military defense system (meaning you can
watch the planet go up in a mushroom-shaped puff of smoke a week from
tuesday).


HOW TO PLAY (YES, EVEN SECRET AGENTS HAVE RULES)

Your mission is to rescue Dr. 0 and Shannon from the grubby clutches of the
Sinister Seven as quickly as possible. Then you must discover the motive
behind the kidnapping and prevent these international terrorists from
executing their diabolical plan.

As you fight your way through each area, you must obtain information and
vital ID cards. If you lose your way or get caught without an ID card, not
only will you lose a member of your team. you'll lose a little confidence.
HINT: Captured prisoners can be helpful here. During this mission a good
sense of direction is only half the battle. Because acid flames, raw sewage.
scorching steam, high voltage electricity and poison gas will block your
progress at every turn. You must also have sense enough to keep both eyes
peeled for special switches that will turn off bodily-harm devices
(like bone-crushing walls).

Now for the good news. There are three agertts-Max, Grant and Nicholas -
that you can choose from and use according to the situation at hand. Each is
equipped with two types of weapons which can be interchanged according to
the surroundings. After sizing up your predicament you must choose the right
agent with the right talent.

Your agent's Life Gauge decreases each time he is hit by enemy bullets or
caught in a trap. An agent is knocked out of the game when the Life Gauge
runs out or when he is hit by a car, falls into water, or tumbles into a
hidden pit or gorge.

After an agent is dusted, the next agent in line (from left to right) will
enter the game. (NOTE: The agents are shown at the bottom right of the
screen. i However, if you make it all the way through one area successfully,
the knocked-out agents will rejoin your forces at the beginning of the next
area.

If all three agents are knocked out of the game. you and your IMF team are
finished. But you can still redeem yourself by choosing the Continue Mode
(see page 10 for details) to start over from the beginning of the area where
your last agent perished.

Oh, by the way... if you begin feeling like a laboratory rat windnig through
the six maddening mazes, remember you could have JUST SAID NO to this
mission! Luckily for the world, you're a big, strong agent who thrives on
these dangers... right?... I said right right?!


CROSS AT THE GREEN, NOT IN BETWEEN (A NOTE ON PEDESTR

In the first stage of area 1 (the street), there are some pedestrians who
will not attack your agents. They are ordinary citizens, so ignore their
shopping spree. If one of your agents gets overzealous and attacks one of
these jaywalkers, the police helicopter will detain your agent and he'll be
out of action until you make it to the next area.

Note: The only time you should blast one ot these little old enemies is if
they shout and start chasing you with their Uzi Umbrellas.


GETTlNG TO KNOW YOUR TEAM OF SPECIAL AGENTS

You'd better get to know these guys like the back of your hand. They're your
eyes. your ears and most importantly your trigger finger. Each of these
agents has an A and B weapon which he specializes in. As an IMF member,
it's your duty to memorize each agent's attack methods.

Max " Ride Like the Wind" Harte

Max is very quick and athletic. However, in this mission, he's forced to
wear heavy protective gear which slovrs him to a turtle's pace.
His Type A weapon is a rifle. His Type B arsenal consists of 10 remote
control cluster bombs. Press the B Button once to set the bombs, and then
once more to explode them.

Grant "The Gazelle" Collier

The Gazelle is an electronics and engineering wiz who dropped out of the
Electricai Engineering Institute for the Deprived. Grant turned his
considerable electronies talent against the forces of of evil by joining
the IMF last spring. He is the fastest of the three agents.
He prefers duking it out, so his Type A weapon is a fist. His Type B
weapons are 10 sleeping gas bombs that put the enemy into a deep slumber
for a limited period of time (unfortunately, they don't work on eveyone).
Press the B Button to set the bombs, and then once more to release their
sleep inducing sominexide gas.

Nicholas "Hide the Shakespeare" Black

Nicholas is a drama teacher who also happens to be a master of voice and
facial disguises. During an audition in coliege he twisted an ankle and is
now forced to saunter painstakingly (that's Thespian slang for walk slowly).
A native Australian, Nick prefers a boomerang for his Type A weapon.
His Type B weapon is not a weapon at all, but a set of disguises that can
be used up to 5 times. When he's incognito, enemies cannot identify him
for a limited period of time.

Jim "Please Don't Call Me Digger" Phelps

Jimbo is the leader of the IMF team. He organizes the team for this mission,
plots their attacks and sends the team on their way. He also has a major
crush on Shannon, whom he will fight for with all of his (and his team's)
might.

Shannon "Ouasar Search" Reed

Shannon is the IMF's newest team member. She is a beautiful former
pentathlete and police woman with a background in broadcasting. On this
assignment she posed as Dr. 0's personai secretary, but well, you know the
rest...

A WORD ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS DR. 0

The Doctor 0 is known throughout the wold for his astounding intellect and
eccentricities. He had just finished programming the newest military defense
system when he was so rudely interrupted at breakfast (a meal he never
skips, because as a doctor he knows how important it is to start the day
with lots of fiber vitamins and caffeine).

STAYIN' ALIVE! STAYIN' ALIVE!

There are certain items you need to continue your mission. They are also
important in restoring your agents' Life Gauges. You can get your hands on
these items by frisking captured prisoners of war. You'll also find them in
top secret places located throughout your mission.

Personal Identification Cards:
ID cards are required to make it through the ID checkpoints in each area.

Life Saver:
This is helpful in restoring an agent's energy (Life Gauge). Only the Life
Gauge of the agent who finds it will be restored.

Secret Attache Case:
You'll need this to replenish your agent's supply of Type B weapons.
Whichever agent finds it will receive its maxinium value.


POSSIBLY THE TOUGHEST STAGES OF YOUR LIFE

Area 1, Stage 1:
The not-so-deserted streets of Moscow. (Watch for white arrows which will
direct you to important rooms.)

Area 1, Stage 2:
Down by the old Joseph Stalin Sewage Treatment Plant (next to Pee-Uski).

Area 2:
The clammy canals of Venice.

Area 3:
The Syrinx Temples of East BErlin.

Area 4:
The Persian mountain range and prisoner camp (open all year 'round).

Area 5:
Those famous Swiss Alps (where the hills are alive with the sound of
gunfire).

Area 6, Stage 1:
Crumball Harbour off the coast of Cypruss.

Area 6, Stage 2:
Shooting by the dock of the bay.


JUST A FEW OF THE MANY THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

Iron Curtains:
There are one-way and two-way gates. Your agent must go through them from
the orange colored side.

Checkpoint Charlie:
This gate will not open if your agent doesen't have the proper ID card.

Dialing for Rubles:
This gate open by using a dial. However, your agent won't be able to open
it if he doesen't have the necessary electronic skills. Press the Control
Pad Up or Down to change the numbers. Then press the Control Pad Right or
Left to change the entry position.

Safety Switch:
This switch is used for disarming traps and snares. The different types of
switches are displayed in the frame at the bottom of the screen.

Breath of Hot Air:
A blustery wind blows from this valve, making it nearly impossible to move
around.

Poisonous Gas Chamber:
Lead your agents into this by accident and they will go mad.

Eye Spy:
If an agent is spotted by one of these, a buzzer will sound and he'll be
promptly locked up in that room. Then he'll go up against the bloodletting
Iron Claw.

New Sensation:
If an agent touches one of these he'll get the same treatment he would for
messing with the Eye Spy.

Pressure Cooker:
Ever had a steam burn before, Scarecrow? It isn't fun, so avoid at all
costs.

Lookout Robot:
If an agent is spotted by a Lookout Robot, you'll be in for a scrap heap
of trouble. See Eye SPy or New Sensation for a glimpse of your fate.

Robot Warrior:
There's no escaping the clutches of a Robot Warrior. Your agent will be
promptly captured and knocked out of the game.

Holography Zone:
This apparatus projects three-dimensional images. An agent won't be able
to move ahead until he disarms this eye sore. (Pretty scary sights.
Trust us!)

Hidden Pitfalls:
If you lead an agent into a Hidden Pitfall, he'll fall to the floor
beneath. If he stumbles into a hole that isn't hidden, he'll be knocked
out of the game. (You'll have to see it to believe it!)
