Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a horror-action game where players embody Ash, returning to a haunted cabin with his girlfriend to confront demons and prevent them from using the Necronomicon to conquer Earth. Players will navigate the cabin and surrounding areas, battling evil forces to protect Jenny and save humanity.
Story
Ash's Story
I've kept some left over copies of pages from the Necronomicon, sketches of Deadites and a map of the area near the cabin. My girlfriend is Jenny, Assistant Manager of Arts & Crafts...and the voice of reason. She's willing to drive me back to the cabin in the woods so that I can confront my fears and take the nightmares head on. It's gonna be a rough ride...

Old Map of the Cabin and Forest

The Mad Poet Alzeez of Damascus & the Dark Ones
The Mad Poet. That's what they called Abdul Alzeez of Damascus. The life's work of that primitive screwhead was the Necronomicon ex Mortis. He's the bonehead who translated the ancient texts of the Dark Ones, and prophesized of the Warrior From The Sky who fell from the heavens to save the world from the wretched rule of demons.
The Dark Ones once ruled the earth... long ago. That is until they were banished to their realm. But now it seems they're a little homesick and want to come back to rule over man again. And of course the Book of the Dead is their key to earth's front door: That and sacrificing my girl, Jenny. But that ain't gonna happen. Not if I have anything to say about it.

Being Ash (Ain't Bad)
Being Ash ain't too bad... except for the unfortunate link to hordes of evil.
On-Screen Game Information
A health bar indicating Ash's current level of health will drop down in the upper-left corner of the screen when needed. If there is an enemy on screen, it is likely that the health bar will be displayed since the enemy will be trying to put the hurt down.
The green health bar will decrease to the left as health diminishes. Less green, less Ash.
Health, Power-ups and Objects
Just when it seems like all hope (or ammo) is gone, you can probably find a nearby item that will help you. To pick up an item in the environment, walk up to the object and press button.
The inventory screen will be displayed and you can select what you'd like to do with the item. Various items include:
•
Health — Look for first aid kits, various food items and mushrooms that can be converted into food once you have found the handy-dandy Wolverine Survival Guide.
Map
This option allows you to view a map of the area. Your current position is indicated by a yellow dot on the map.
Chest
Select this option to move items to and from your inventory into one of the Inventory Chests that can be found throughout the game. To do so, step in front of the chest and press the button to display your inventory and the contents of the chest.
To move an item, select it using the yellow cursor and press the button. Then move the blue cursor to the empty slot in which you want to move the item. Press button to move the item.
Hit SELECT or use the Inv option to return to the main Inventory Screen.
Save
You can save your progress to a Memory Card whenever you are at an Inventory Chest and have a blank Save Tape in your inventory. Use the Directional Buttons to move the cursor and select an available slot.
Press the button to save the game.
Health Meter
The Inventory Screen has two health indicators for Ash - a meter and a picture of Ash's face. The more wounded the face, the more wounded is Ash.
The lower the green bar, the less health Ash has. Use health items to replenish Ash's health.
Weapons
At the top of the Main Inventory Screen are five weapon slots. The first slot permanently contains the chainsaw.
Beneath the chainsaw icon is a red bar that indicates the current level of fuel in the chainsaw. The bar will decrease to the left as fuel is consumed. If you have gas cans in your inventory, you can refill the chainsaw by selecting a gas can in the inventory and pressing the button.
The remaining four slots are used to display available weapons. The full standard weapon suite includes an axe, pistol, shotgun and rifle. Once a weapon is found, it is automatically added to its slot.
Beneath projectile weapons is a small white number that indicates the number of rounds remaining in the weapon. As rounds are used, the number decreases. If you have ammo in your inventory, you can reload a projectile weapon by selecting the appropriate ammo item in the inventory and pressing the button.
Upgrade parts can be found throughout the game and used to modify the standard weapons. To use an upgrade kit, select it from your inventory, move the blue cursor to the weapon you wish to upgrade, then press the button. The weapon icon will change to reflect the upgraded weapon.
Once a weapon is upgraded, the appropriate ammo will become available as items are found throughout the game.
