ZONE 2: Below the surface ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aim: To locate the entrance to the enemy base. Once there, capture the bathyscaphe. Enemies & Perils: Avoid contact with the sharks and scuba-divers that control the entry of the enemy base.

SHARK Technical Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tiger Shark: An elasmobranch fish between 3 and 4 metres long, with a fusiform body and a very large mouth full of very sharp teeth. Its hide is bluish grey in colour, it is carnivorous and very voracious, and can be extremely dangerous.

Bottles: 20 litre double oxygen bottles with a rubber protection. Suit: with pressure buttons and smooth neoprene gloves. Goggles: they allow 180° of vision and are cushioned inside.

DIMIC-GN 12 IMMERSION GEAR Technical Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prepared to withstand high or low temperatures. Made of high sensitivity lubricated latex. Electronically tested for maximum safety.

ZONE 3: In the bathyscaphe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aim: Leave enemy's base and penetrate in the nuclear submarine through the exit door for remainders. Enemies & Periods: Giant octopi hidden in enormous and dark caves. Giant sea monster must be shot in the mouth.

OCTOPUS Technical Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An octopod whose extended tentacles have a span of up to 8 metres. It can change colour, lives in caves and feeds on anything it finds, crushing it first with its tentacles.

SEA MONSTER Technical Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Over 12 metres long and weighing between 1000 and 1200 Kg. This terrifying beast has a thick hide which makes it immune to missiles. Shaped like a giant eel, its bite means curtains for anyone coming near.

Helpful Tips From Major McWiril ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The commandos on the aquatic motorbikes are kamikazes. Shoot them down before they collide with you. * Never enter in contact with a shark. * Shoot the octopi with two missiles at a time; the effect will be triple! * To destroy the sea monster shoot it repeatedly inside its mouth.

Part Two

Inside the Submarine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aim: To set a bomb at the base of the reactor and escape alive. In order to escape you will have to stop the submarine, make it emerge and transmit the key message to your base. Enemies:

CAPTAIN His code allows you to perform one time the function of each and any of the officials.

FIRST OFFICIAL His code allows you to stop the motors and emerge.

FIRST AND SECOND MACHINE OFFICIALS With their codes you can open the door to the base of the reactor.

FIRST AND SECOND TRANSMISSION OFFICIALS Their codes allow you to transmit the codified message to your base.

MARINES Equipped with an N-32 rifle. They can carry a bullet loader.

FLAMETHROWER MARINES Equipped with a flamethrower. They carry two loaders, one with bullets and one with gasoline.

To perform any function you have to connect with the central computer of the submarine through any of the terminals within. You also need to know the identification code of the Official in charge of the area related to the order you want to send. E.g.: to open the door to the base of the reactor you must obtain The Machine Official's code and then transmit the order to the central computer.

To obtain the codes, locate the Official, shoot him and search him.

To exit from a computer terminal, type END (ENTER).

End Of Mission

Once the bomb has been set, the motors inactive and the submarine on the surface, you must transmit the word [[BOMB READY]] to your base. In order that the enemy can't detect it you must codify it in this way:

OABERBYAMD

When you have communicated the success of your mission, go up to the control tower and wait for your colleague to rescue you.
