Playing Sheep Raider
Once the intro movie is over, select START GAME to begin a new game. You are now ready to enter the crazy world of sheep stealing, but first, you'll need to do a little training.
Training Zone
Daffy Duck™ will guide all new players through the ACMEM Training Zone before the real game begins. This training will help you get the hang of some of the basics, including walking, running, and using the camera.
Make sure you pay attention, or you could find Sam Sheep-dog feeding you a Knuckle sandwich sooner than you expected. Once you've completed the Training Zone, you'll be ready to get into the game.
The TV Studio
When you've finished the Training Zone, you'll return to the TV studio where you can enter the next level. To reach it, go through the open door and press the button when prompted.
When you complete a level, a door will appear in the studio which takes you back to that level so you can play it again in the future. Controlling Ralph Wolf
Use the directional buttons to walk around the landscape. This is fine if you don't need to get anywhere in a hurry or don't need to be especially quiet.
To creep around like a sneaky wolf, hold down the Rl button while you walk. This is useful when normal walking is too noisy.
To pick up speed, repeatedly tap the button as you press the directional buttons. When running, you can zoom across crevices and gaps. Don't stop tapping the button, or you'll fall.
A single press of the button will make you leap up in the air. Get a little higher by pressing the button again at the top of your jump for a double jump. Combine jumps with the directional buttons to direct yourself.
Controlling the Camera
Rotate the camera left or right using the L2 button and R2 button respectively. This helps you decide on your best course of action in a stealth game.
To see exactly what Ralph is seeing, hold down the button while using the directional buttons to scan the scene.
Talking to Characters
There are characters who can give you useful information. To talk to them, go up to them until TALK appears in the top left corner, then press the button.
If you press the button again, you can scroll up or down through the speech using the directional buttons. Press the button for a third time to skip the speech completely.
Sometimes, characters will ask you questions. Use the directional buttons to select your answer, then press the button to confirm.
Reading Signposts
Signposts with question marks are dotted around the place. To read them, go up to them until READ appears in the top left corner, then press the button.
Interacting with Objects
You can use various objects for sheep thievery. In most cases, you will need to press the button to pick up and use an object. A nearby character may also help you use an object if you're unsure.
To carry sheep, walk up to one until CARRY appears in the top left corner, then press the button. Press the button again to put the sheep down.
Ordering Items
Certain interactive items must be ordered from a letterbox (mailbox). You can find the location of letterboxes on the map.
Walk up to a letterbox and press the button when ORDER appears in the top left corner. The item connected to that letterbox will appear somewhere on the landscape for you to pick up.
Using the Inventory Menu
The Inventory Menu contains all the items you have collected. To view the contents, hold down the L1 button and use the left and right directional buttons to scroll through them.

Placing Items in the Inventory
Pick up an item by standing in front of it and pressing the button when TAKE appears in the top left corner. The item will automatically be placed in the Inventory.

Taking Items from the Inventory
To use a collected item, hold the L1 button and use the left and right directional buttons to highlight the item. When it's highlighted above your head, release the L1 button.
To see the Inventory, press the SELECT button. It shows all available objects on a level along with a map marking important items and locations.
Use the up and down directional buttons to scroll through this list of available objects. Before they can be used, you need to order them from the appropriate letterbox. Highlight the object to see a red circle marking the correct letterbox.
Blue and white objects are available on the level but not yet collected. Colored objects have been picked up and are ready for use.
This is a plan of the current level.
Highlight an object in the Object List, then press the button to highlight the Help icon. Press the button to read information about the object.
Highlight an object in the Object List, then press the button and use the directional buttons to highlight the Use icon. Press the button to return to the game and use the object.
To combine one object with another, highlight an object in the Object List, then press the button and use the directional buttons to highlight the Combine icon. Press the button, then highlight the second object, and press the button again.
After combining, return to the game using the EXIT icon, by selecting and confirming
