CRASH DIVE
THE OBJECTIVE
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to score as many points as
possible by destroying enemy ships, helicopters, planes, giant sharks,
sting rays, squids, angler fish and lobsters before running out of fuel or
crashing the flying sub. You may also acquire points by picking up the
treasures that lie on the bottom of the sea.
THE SET UP
Set up your video computer system and joystick controller as indicated in
your manufacturer's owner manual. Turn the power switch OFF and insert the
Crash Dive cartridge.
TO BEGIN
Turn the power ON. Use the Game Select lever to choose a one or two player
game. Use the Difficulty Switch to select a level of play.
* Left Difficulty Switch A: Creatures appear in random order
* Left Difficulty Switch B: Creatures appear in set order
* Right Difficulty Switch A: Missiles are steerable
* Right Difficulty Switch B: Missiles fire straight ahead
Press the Game Reset lever and get ready to start your deep sea adventure.
THE CONTROLS
The Sea Hunter, your flying submarine, is entirely under your control. Tilt
the joystick up to rise and down to descent. Move the joystick right to
accellerate and left for quick deceleration. Each flying sub is equipped
with a missile launcher, which is activated by the joystick button.
THE GAME
Reinforcements: You begin each adventure with three flying submarines in
reserve. If you are able to fill the prize indicator at the bottom of the
sea with six treasures, you will be awarded an extra life.
Fuel: The fuel gauge is located at the bottom of the screen. Keep your eye
on it. Refueling is asccomplished by docking with the mother ship, the Sea
View (the submarine at the top of the sea). The fuel supply gained is
proportional to the amount of time docked with the Sea View.

main prize.

HINTS FROM THE DESIGNER
So you'd like to search for sunken treasure with me. Well, it's going to
take a keen eye, a good ear and quick reflexes to grab these treasures from
the creatures of the deep. Before you hop aboard the Sea Hunter, let me
give you a few navigational pointers.
Obstacles always travel in groups: one in the sky, one on the sea, two in
the water and one on the sea floor. Always approach these groups from the
sky.
During sky travel, you can hear the bird, helicopter and plane before you
see them. (The refueling ship can be heard in any position.) If it's the
bird, skip it. If it's the plane, boat or helicopter, disable it before
traveling underwater. Then you'll be safe from missiles when you enter the
sea.
The seventh group of obstacles is always the mine field. If you survive,
there is always an opportunity to refuel before advancing for the next
treasure.
Now that you have the knowledge of a fine sea captain, it will only take
time and practice to become the finest sea hunter that ever lived. Good
luck and happy treasure hunting.
