Starting Up
Set up your Sega Saturn system by following the instructions in the Sega Saturn Instruction Manual. Plug in Controller 1. For 2-player games, plug in Controller 2 also. Virtua Cop is for one or two players. Place the Virtua Cop disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo will appear on screen. If nothing appears, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again. If you wish to stop a game in progress, or the game ends, press the Reset Button on the Sega Saturn console to display the on-screen Control panel. Your Sega Saturn compact disc contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge. Getting Started

Gun Adjust Screen (Stunner Only)
Select GUN ADJUST and press Start. When the target appears on screen, fire straight at the center. You might miss at first, so keep firing at the center of the target until your shots go where you want them.
When you are finished, aim the Stunner away from the screen and pull the trigger. A menu appears; shoot at the desired option.

Play a deadly game of hide and seek among stacks of crates in the dock warehouse district. Keep calm here-a hasty trigger finger could be your downfall.
