Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game, players take on the role of Harry Tasker, a top-secret government agent tasked with stopping a fanatic terrorist group called the Crimson Jihad from detonating stolen nuclear warheads. To save his kidnapped family and prevent global destruction, the player must navigate dangerous locales like parks, subways, docks, and ancient catacombs. Along the way, players must solve puzzles, find hidden keys, destroy weapon shipments, and fight off legions of enemies using a variety of firearms and explosives.
Story
The Awful Truth
Meet Harry Tasker. His wife and daughter think he's a slightly dull computer salesman, but his friend and colleague Albert "Gib" Gibson knows the truth. Harry is a top agent for Omega Sector, an ultra-secret government agency whose motto "The Last Line of Defense" spells out its mandate to prevent any terrorist threats to freedom!
Harry has the fate of a nation and the fight of a lifetime on his hands when the Crimson Jihad, a fanatic terrorist group led by the ruthless Abu Aziz, steals nuclear warheads from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. They threaten to detonate them on U.S. soil unless their demands are met!
Together with Gib, Harry must risk everything to prevent devastating destruction. The action is global as Harry's mission takes him from the snowy slopes of Switzerland to the Forbidden City of China, with deadly stops in the Florida Keys and a host of other locales. There's plenty of scenery, but it's no vacation!
Each mission is more menacing than the last, but each brings Harry closer to his goal of diffusing the warheads and disposing of Crimson Jihad hot heads! Harry is closing in on his sinister foe, but Aziz has one last trick up his sleeve. He makes it personal when he involves both Harry's wife, Helen, and their daughter, Dana. If Harry can rescue them from harm's way, payback is gonna be a hurtin' thing!
The Park
Trees hide treachery as Harry continues on the trail of the Crimson Jihad ring-leader! The park is packed with hedges and gates that Harry must manage to find his way through if he is to succeed in his mission.
A bevy of blood thirsty bad guys are bent on stopping him, but Harry is determined to locate the hidden keys that open gates vital to his mission.
•
Tip: Terrorists hiding under trees are susceptible to damage.
Subway
Decrypted data leads Omega Sector to believe that the Crimson Jihad has a secret stronghold somewhere in the subway system. To subdue these enemies, you'll have to get past a roaring train with never-ending cars by re-routing it.
Unfortunately, the switch box and the lever to it must be found first, and they're both in places thick with terrorists. To complicate matters, other trains occasionally come bearing down on Harry. He'll have to duck into a niche in the wall, or it's R.I.P. on the IRT.
Up and down stairways, picking up ammo and weapons, the fight carries on until Harry re-routes the train and prepares to storm the subterranean stronghold. It's a festival of firepower, but only the toughest will be left to celebrate!
•
Tip: Watch out for 12:05!
Dock
A shipment of weapons destined for the Crimson Jihad has arrived down at the docks. They mustn't fall into enemy hands! Wharf and warehouse both teem with terrorists scurrying to unload crates of advanced weaponry that could give the Crimson Jihad a decisive edge.
Destroying the crates is the only solution, and it's no easy task. Naturally, the joint is jumping with enemies who'd love to stop Harry. Judicious use of limited grenades will ensure that both weapons and terrorists alike do not survive to plague him.
•
Tip: Check crates for secret passeges.
China: The Forbidden City
It's nuclear high noon. The Crimson Jihad covertly informs the U.S. of a hidden nuclear device in the ancient Imperial City. If it's detonated, a deviously damning disinformation campaign will point the finger squarely at the United States!
The Forbidden City is a haunting maze of catacombs and passageways, secret tunnels and hidden rooms, puzzles within puzzles where only someone with the proper keys and clues may enter. To unlock one gate, one must first locate a key to another area where a further key lies.
Harry must find his way through this disorienting underworld and fight off legions of loyal Crimson Jihad followers in his effort to locate the 3 disarming keys which he needs to disable the deadly bomb. In a race against time, the future of Sino-American relations, perhaps of the world, depends on you!
How to Play
Hit It, Harry!
You are agent Harry Tasker, and it's up to you to thwart the destabilizing designs of Abu Aziz, before the Crimson Jihad rings down a nuclear nightmare! Your objective is to complete all the missions leading to the capture and destruction of the warheads, without destroying your happy home life!

Missions
True Lies™ consists of 10 missions. All of these must be completed for Harry to reach all the warheads and save the day.
The Chateau
As the game begins, we find Harry in the Swiss mountains at the fortified chateau of Jamal Khaled, bon vivant and secret ally of Abu Aziz' Crimson Jihad. Harry's mission is to find the office where Khaled's computer is and attach a modem to it, enabling Omega Sector to retrieve vital data for future decryption. You'll need to locate the Pass Card in order to access the computer room.
Though you are at your most urbane as you calmly navigate the various rooms and hallways of the chateau, you'll have to contend with suspicious armed guards who shoot first and ask questions later! Attach the modem and get going, because you've set off an alarm which brings a host of elite guards clamoring after your head! Thank goodness Gib is on hand to help out with some timely hints.
•
Tip: Look for secret doors.
The Slopes
Having successfully attached the modem, it's time to flee the alpine hornet's nest as an army of angry guards give chase. You'll have to get down to Gib waiting at the bottom of the mountain before another bunch of guards reach him and Gib is captured, leaving Harry to face the wrath of the Crimson Jihad alone and the mission in disarray.
Beware of snowmobiling snipers with pistols, rifles and even grenades. And Harry? Try not to run into any trees, all right?
•
Tip: Try to avoid hit and run snowmobilers.
The Mall
A prominent member of the Crimson Jihad has been sighted in a shopping mall outside of Washington, D.C. Harry must find him and bring him in—alive if it's convenient! But this crafty creep has a knack for eluding capture in the multi-level labyrinth of modern retailing. Having a few dozen feisty followers armed with automatic weapons to distract Harry may have something to do with it.
You'll have to be quick footed and enterprising to track the rogue terrorist to his ignoble hiding place: the Men's Room. Along the way, you'll find the mall is jam packed with innocent shoppers. Shooting them is frowned on by Omega Sector, so hold your fire if you don't have a clear shot!
The Refinery
They don't care who they hurt. This time, the Crimson Jihad runs amok in the midst of an oil field. Harry negotiates the hectic petro-puzzle, but first he must dispatch the swarms of enemy defenders that await him outside. The terrorists take cover behind everything they can find, so Harry will be blasting his way past an enemy that is as cautious as it is dangerous.
Overseas Highway: Florida Keys
The remaining warheads, previously stored off the Florida coast, are headed to Miami in four trucks. Harry Tasker takes to the air with one idea in mind: take out this menace and stop the madness! Harry flies the unfriendly skies, as the mission mounts towards a harrowing conclusion aboard an unfamiliar Harrier jet.
The deadly convoy is rolling towards doomsday protected by anti-aircraft guns laying down a terrific covering assault, and it's all Harry can do to stay airborne, let alone destroy the nuclear nuisances below! He must dodge murderous fire as he gives the Crimson Jihad his best with the nimble Harrier ready to close in!

Items & Weapons
FLAMETHROWER
Harry turns up the heat when he straps on the full-strength Flamethrower and lets it rip! Pick up gasoline to keep the temperature roasting!
GAS PICK UP
Ammunition pick up to keep the Flamethrower temperature roasting.
PISTOL
Harry will begin each level armed with this single shot 9mm pistol. The ever-ready extra clips make this a source of very unfriendly fire in Harry's steady hands.
UZI
Spread a lotta lead with the Uzi machine pistol pick-up. You'll need to collect ammo clips for this baby and hold down the B BUTTON for constant fire.
UZI AMMO PICK UP
Ammo clips collected for the Uzi machine pistol.
SHOTGUN
Short range and a wide dispersion pattern makes the shotgun ideal for work that's up close and personal. Best on several thugs at a time.
SHOTGUN SHELL PICK UP
Ammunition shells for the shotgun, found at better terrorist hang outs everywhere.
GRENADES
Grenades can blow away almost all of Harry's troubles and are timed to explode 10 seconds after the pin is pulled. Holding the B BUTTON allows Harry to time his throw, but throwing too late can do him real damage.
ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE
The most powerful weapon in Harry's arsenal, dandy for dropping a dime on someone wicked. Plant mines behind you to stop approaching baddies cold, but remember that if you get too close to one, your future is never!
HEALTH PICK UP
Harry can restore his health considerably by walking over one of these red cross icons.
