Extracted from the original game manual

This is a sci-fi action-adventure game where players control Ulysses, a human astronaut, in a future Earth dominated by intelligent apes. The player must infiltrate ape society and prevent the complete extermination of humanity.

Story

Story

Battle for the Planet. Fight for humanity as Ulysses, a deep-space astronaut shipwrecked on Earth nearly 2,000 years into the future. To his horror, a deadly breed of intelligent apes have evolved from mankind and now dominate the Earth.

Hunted to near-extinction, the rag-tag human survivors huddle in fear of the Ape Empire. Against impossible odds, Ulysses must infiltrate the simian society and halt the genocidal plan of Ape General Ursus to exterminate mankind forever.

Familiar faces like Cornelius and Dr. Zaius - even new terrors like mandrill assassins and renegade baboons - await in this pulse-pounding tribute to the sci-fi cinema classic. The future of the human race lies with one. It lies with you.

How to Play

CROSSHAIR SYSTEM

All weapons can be fired in two ways: normal game mode and using the LOOK command for greater accuracy.

When using the LOOK command, a crosshair appears in the center of the screen. The crosshair turns red when you are within range to shoot the targeted object.

SAVING

You can save the game after completing a level.

INVENTORY SCREEN

There are two inventories in Planet of the Apes.

The first inventory holds items needed for a few levels. The second inventory contains important items needed throughout the game.

•

Press the left directional button while the inventory is on screen to access the second inventory.

•

Press the right directional button while an object is highlighted in the inventory screen to advance pages of its description.



Items & Weapons

Rifle

Rifles can be found with lower level soldiers. General Ursus's troops use several different models.

Laser Rifle

Carried only by the elite troops of the Ape Army, the laser rifles were excavated from the human ruins of the Great War.

Club

Take clubs from fallen ape soldiers, as it will prove to be a more powerful weapon, than using your fists alone.

Knife

Used by certain apes and mandrills, a simple knife poses a great threat when turned against you.

Poker

When not used as a weapon by the apes, it can be a powerful weapon against them. Pokers can also be used to spread fires if they are heated in an existing fire.

Health Pack

Health packs are valuable items. They will restore a portion of your energy if you are injured in battle.

Key

Keys will unlock previously locked doors and will allow you to gain access to vital parts of Ape City.

Key Card

The Key Card functions much like the "Key" It will only unlock doors with electronic locks.

Crowbar

The crowbar is primarily used to open crates, but can be used as a weapon against the enemy.

Ammunition

The firearms you take from ape soldiers have limited ammunition. Search for extra ammo anywhere you can find it.

Hologram Cartridge

The Hologram Cartridge is a rare item. Find them and they will give you clues to the past.



Tips & Maps

Helping other slaves

Helping other slaves who are being attacked by apes will get you bonus items.

Crouch mode

Use the Crouch mode to bring up an audiometer that will help you to hear apes approaching.

Look mode while crouching

Using the Look mode while crouching will allow you to stealthily look around corners without being seen.

Sneaking past apes

Sometimes it is more effective to sneak past apes. Keep in mind that apes are much stronger than you and opportunities to sneak past them or lock them into a room can be very challenging, but will leave you in much better health.

Security Camera

If the light on a camera starts flashing red and the camera starts beeping, it means you've been detected and the camera is attempting to focus on you. Duck out of sight before you're identified as a threat. Listen for it to resume scanning before stepping back into view.
