  In the murky bars and filthy back alleys that the scum of society call home, 
a chant is whispered in dread from lip to lip:
  "Mabu is coming! Mabu arises to conguer the world!"
  The old bag lady, pushing her meager worldy belongings in a broken-down cart,
cannot help hearing these strange words again and again. Her bent frame 
straightens imperceptibly and her heartbeat pounds in her ears. She must find 
out more!
  In the next few weeks, from the ravings of drunkards and slurrings of the
down-
trodden, she manages to piece together a picture beyond belief. Mabu is the 
leader of the mysterious Evil Society, whose charter is nothing short of world 
domination.  Mabu himself is quite inhuman, an alien with supernatural powers. 
And his plans for the conquest of Earth are soon to be set in motion. Though 
the rest of her information seems jumbled, one piece proved invaluably 
concrete: The location of the entrance to the conspirators' underground lair.
  With surprisingly youthful fingers, she reaches into her trash and pulls 
out a piece of hardware which no bag lady should own: a miniaturized radio 
transponder.
Speaking into the mouthpiece, she begins, "Agent Leila to Rolling Thunder..."
  As she continues with her report, her training fails her. She does not see 
the shadowy figures that silently approach her.
  Nor does she feel the blow that crashes her world into darkness...

INTRODUCTION
Rolling Thunder: The name of the powerful international secret police 
organization.
You: Its best agent.
Your mission: Infiltrate the underground headquarters of the Evil Society, save 
agent Leila and smash the deadly plot to conquer the world by defeating Mabu, 
the alien leader.
Start out the game at the enemy's entry passageway armed only with a 
single-fire handgun and limited ammunition. Blow away hooded thugs as you move 
forward. The sinister fortress has countless doors, some marked "Bullets" and 
"Arms." Enter the former to replenish your ammunition and the latter to get 
powerful, multiple-firing machine guns.

Since Leila can't last forever against the ruthless treatment of her captors, 
move fast. You only have a limited amount of time to succeed in your mission. 
By entering some doors (which are unmarked), you can get more time.

You'll move through different passageways in ruined buildings, warehouses, 
caves, lava fields and command centers. The deeper you penetrate, the deadlier 
the enemy becomes.

Clear ten areas and you'll earn the chance to confront Mabu in a showdown to 
the death.

HOW TO BEGIN
When the title screen appears, press the START button. After the screen 
changes, use the SELECT button to choose either "New Game" or "Password."

New Game
Use the SELECT button to select "New Game." Push the START button to begin.
Continue
When "Game Over" appears after you've lost three lives, you can continue the 
game without going back to the beginning by selecting "Continue" with the 
SELECT button. Then press the START button. Note: You can select "Continue" 
up to 3 times only. After that, it's back to the beginning, unless you've got 
the password. See below.

Password
To start from within the game, you must use a password. In this game, areas 
3,5,7 and 9 have passwords. These are displayed when the game is over; jot down 
the password. When you select "Password" on the title screen, you'll be able to 
enter the password by using the control pad. Press the A button to start from 
the area whose password you entered.

SCREEN DISPLAY
The display on the lower portion of the screen has the following meaning:


Machine Gun Bullets       {picture of game screen}         Time remaining


Handgun Bullets                                            Lives remaining
                             Life Gauge Score

{9}

SPECIAL DOORS
* Bullet
You start out the game with 50 bullets in your handgun. Add ammunition by 
entering doors marked "Bullet." Note: Bullets inside doors are for your 
handgun only. There is no replenishment of machine gun ammunition.

Here's how to replenish bullets and get machine guns:

Stand before a door, press the top of the Control Pad and enter. When bullets 
are replenished, you exit automatically. If you continue to hold the button 
down, you'll stay hidden behind the door -- which is helpful if enemy forces 
lurk immediately outside. To exit immediately, press the bottom of the Control 
Pad.

* Arms
Inside these doors are machine guns. When held, machine guns fire 
automatically. When the number of bullets reaches zero, kiss your machine gun 
goodbye. Also, lose a life and lose your machine gun.

* Unmarked
Check unmarked doors -- there is extra time hidden behind some of them.

{10}

THREE LIVES AND YOU'RE OUT
You start out the game with three lives. When you've lost all of them, the 
game is over.
Ways to lose a life:
1. When your Life Gauge hits zero (Life Gauge is reduced by 1 each time you 
are touched by an enemy).
2. When you fall into a lava field, or in a place where there is no floor.
3. When you are hit by a bullet, bomb or beam.
4. When you can't clear an area within the allotted time.

When you clear an area, your Life Gauge goes back to full and, if your handgun 
has less than 50 bullets, it is replenished (back up to 50). If your handgun 
has more than 50 bullets, it will stay the same. The maximum number of 
bullets (handgun or machine gun) is 300 each.

{11}

MEMBERS OF THE EVIL SOCIETY
Mabu
The leader of the Evil Society. An alien with supernatural powers, he lurks 
in the depths of the secret fortress.

Hooded Thug
Hooded thugs come in different colors. Their strengths and method of attack 
change with their colors.

Ninja
An elusive enemy who suddenly appears from walls. Be careful!

Breaker
An ape-man who jumps and pounces.

Geruzo
A bat with a human face. When approached, he takes flight.

Flamer
When hit 2 times, he breaks into four and attacks.

{12}

HINTS

1. For enemies that have to be hit twice before they are killed, crouch for 
the second shot. When the enemy is shot once, he drops down. By crouching, 
you'll shoot low enough to hit him again.

2. Use a "gun shield": First shoot, then "chase" the bullet so it doesn't 
disappear from the screen. This way, the bullet will hit an enemy as soon as 
he appears.

3. Check unmarked doors for hidden extra time.
