The world was not at peace after the defeat of the Battle Game Chiefs in Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge . New Chiefs and machines rose to power, using giant robots known as Standing Tanks (STs). The hero pilots, who had defeated the previous enemy, returned to the Battle Game with an improved version of their ST, the Falcon. This time, the Falcon would take them deep into space.
Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge is a first-person shooter designed for the Super Nintendo Super Scope Light Gun. Gameplay is identical to Battle Clash . The player takes the role of the gunner of the giant robot, with movement handled automatically by the game as it scrolls the screen. Players must keep the enemy robot in the gunsights and blast away at different parts of it, while also intercepting enemy missiles and counter-attacks. All robots have a weak point that will increase the damage done to them. Power-ups such as Neutron Beams and Plasma Bombs can be picked up following the completion of certain stages, and equipped at the beginning of combat.
Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge was released on December 1st, 1993 for the Super Nintendo.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this futuristic sci-fi action game, players control Mike Anderson as he pilots a humanoid "Standing Tank" (ST) to overthrow the tyrannical Emperor Anubis. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where society has collapsed into violent arena-style combat, the player must battle through Anubis's powerful chiefs to restore peace to the earth. To succeed, players must master advanced weapon systems and defeat rival metal monsters in intense, gladiatorial mech warfare.
Story
The Fall of Society
As the 21st century dawned and society ignored the warning signs of social unrest and tamperings with nature, crime, riots, and food shortages became commonplace. Cities soon dissolved into ruins and were divided and run as armed camps.
As earthquakes and flooding devastated the remaining great cities, all seemed to be lost. In this world of anarchy, human life was filled with violence, hatred and hopelessness. Soon, the only source of amusement became the Battle Game.
Rise of the Standing Tanks
Advanced technology in weapons systems, armament and hydraulics were twisted to create a vehicle designed solely to compete in arena style combat. The first of these were little more than old army tanks outfitted with updated weapons systems.
As pursuit of this new sport progressed, advanced designs with humanoid shapes soon began to appear. Originally called "Standing Tanks," they soon came to be called simply "ST."
Typical combat between these metal monsters consisted of two STs facing off and firing their weapons at each other until only one was left standing. Victory meant power and prestige. Defeat meant that the loser would become a second class citizen, forced to serve the winner.
A Quest for Vengeance
Not all accepted the Battle Game's class system. One young man, Mike Anderson, refused to live in the station being forced on him by his father's defeat in the Battle Game. Determined to seek vengeance on the fighter who had defeated his father, Mike dedicated his life to learning all he could about the technology of the STs.
While Mike trained, Anubis, the fighter who had defeated his father, continued to win even more power fighting in his ST Thanatos. As he took control, Anubis promoted the best fighters in the Battle Game to be his "Chiefs." Along with this title, each was given control over a portion of the earth.
Upon completion of his self imposed training, Mike undertook a most dangerous goal: to battle through Anubis' Chiefs and take on the one who had declared himself Emperor, Anubis.
The Return of Anubis
Three years have passed since Anubis suffered defeat at the hand of Mike Anderson. A new age of prosperity has begun to emerge, and along with it, the rebirth of some of earth's great cities.
Just as quickly as he disappeared following his defeat, Anubis has reappeared to resume his tyranny. Again you must join Mike and attempt to crush the iron rule of Anubis before he can once more throw earth back into the darkest of ages.
How to Play
Starting the Game
One or two players can play, depending on the mode chosen. After adjusting your aim, you will automatically enter the Training Mode if you have not yet passed it. Once training has been passed, you will automatically go to the Battle Game.
If you are restarting the game after the Training Mode has been passed, you will be asked if you wish to continue. Shoot YES to continue a Battle Game in progress. Shoot NO for other options, such as Combat Mode and Time Trials. When the SELECT MODE screen appears, select your choice by shooting at the appropriate target.
Training Mode
All new ST Gunners must take compulsory training. After successfully completing the Training Mode, your information will be stored in the Game Pak's battery-backed memory and you will be allowed to advance to other modes of play.
The Training Mode is a one player game that uses only the Super Scope. ST Gunner Training is broken into seven lesson levels:
β’
Level 1: Targeting
β’
Level 2: Defense
β’
Level 3: Offense
β’
Level 4: Intercept
β’
Level 5: Assault
β’
Level 6: The Bomb
β’
Level 7: Combat
Battle Mode
In the Battle Game Mode, you take control of the ST Falcon. Your goal is to advance through those STs who stand in your way as you attempt to reach Anubis in his ST Thanatos. The Battle Game Mode is a one player game that uses only the Super Scope.
When the map screen appears, your next battle location will be highlighted. Shoot the screen to begin your adventure.
Your Battle Game's progress is automatically saved into battery-backed memory. Do not RESET your Super NES or turn its POWER to OFF until the map screen appears, or until you are asked to continue if you lose the battle. Doing so at any other time could cause your progress to be lost.
Time Trial Mode
In the Time Trial Mode, you will battle a group of enemy STs. The goal is to defeat the enemy group in the shortest time possible.
The fastest times will be saved by the Game Pak's battery-backup memory. The Time Trial Mode can be played by either one or two players who alternate the use of one Super Scope.
Combat Mode
The Combat Mode allows you and a friend to compete head-to-head. Player one will play using the Super Scope, while player two plays as the enemy using a standard Super NES Controller plugged into Control Socket 1.
You can choose to use either the ST Falcon or Tornado. The other player will choose their favorite enemy ST to battle with.
β’
Use the SELECT Button on the controller to choose the enemy ST, then press START.
β’
Use the Super Scope's CURSOR Button and Up or Down on the controller's + Control Pad to adjust the handicapping.
Records Mode
To access the records stored in the Game Pak's battery-backed memory, you must have a controller plugged into Controller Socket 1.
β’
Press the X Button on the controller when the title screen appears to access the records.
β’
Press the FIRE Button on the Super Scope or the B Button on Controller 1 to view different records.
