Setting Up
1. Set up the Genesis 32X as described in its instruction manual.
2. Plug a Sega controller into control port 1 on the Sega Genesis. •
Use a Sega 6-Button Arcade Pad for best gameplay. 3. Make sure the power switch on the Sega Genesis is turned OFF. •
Always turn the power OFF before inserting or removing the cartridge.
4. Fit the Genesis 32X game cartridge into the cartridge slot and press it down firmly.
5. Turn the Sega Genesis power switch ON. In a moment, the Sega logo appears, followed by the copyright screen and the game's title screen. •
If you don't see the Sega screen, turn the power switch OFF. Check your system setup, make sure the cartridge is firmly positioned in the console, and then turn the power switch ON. Quick Start
At the title screen, press Start to begin your first grisly, ugly, violent mission from the beginning of the game.
Selecting a Skill Level
After pressing Start, you'll see a list of skill levels. Press the D-Pad up/down to mark one with the skull cursor, and then press any button to select it and begin the game.
SKILL LEVELS
•
I'm Too Young to Die --------Easy
•
Hey, Not Too Rough----------Normal
•
Hurt Me Plenty--------------Tough
•
Ultra Violence--------------Very Tough
•
Nightmare-------------------Suicide
Selecting a Starting Level
You can start the game from any of the first 15 levels. At the title screen, press the D-Pad down to move the skull cursor to LEVEL. Then press the D-Pad left or right to change the level number. Find the number you want and press Start to begin the game.
No matter what level you start at, you have to clear levels 1-15 to gain entry to the highest levels. The game wraps so you can do this. For instance, if you start at level 8 and play through to level 15, you'll then play levels 1 - 7.
Setting the Game Options
At the title screen, press the D-Pad down to move the skull cursor to OPTIONS. Then press any button to see the menu. Press the D-Pad up/down to move the cursor to one of the three options: MUSIC, SFX (sound effects) or CONTROLS, and press any button to change the setting. Select EXIT to return to the Start menu.

Picking Up Stuff
To pick up an object, just walk over it. You're smart, so you'll know if you need to take something.
Using Doors, Switches and Elevators
To open most doors and operate switches, stand in front of them and press Button C. When you successfully operate a switch, it will change in some way, such as light up or flip a handle. If a switch does not change after a couple of tries, it probably has already been switched, or has a function that cannot yet be accomplished.
LOCKED DOORS
Some doors have security locks and require a color-coded security card or skull key to open. Other locked doors are operated by a switch on a nearby wall. Rather than walking up to those doors, you'll need to operate the switch to open them.
HIDDEN DOORS
Some doors are hidden. Many of these can be opened by finding the switch. In some cases, you just need to walk up to the wall and press Button C. If you've found a secret door, it will open for you. Clues, such as a wall that's shifted, a different color or a flashing light, reveal the whereabouts of secret doors.
ELEVATORS
Elevators are platforms that raise and lower. Some of them sense your nearness and lower automatically. Others have a nearby switch. Those without a switch can usually be operated by walking up to the platform and pressing Button C.
TELEPORTERS
Teleporters can be identified by an evil-looking symbol on the floor beneath them. Sometimes the symbol is a pentagram; sometimes a sinister, satanic face. To use a teleporter, walk over its symbol.
Using the Automap
The Automap helps you find your way around. When activated, it replaces your normal view with a top-down map of everything you've discovered so far. The white arrow is you, and points in the direction you're looking.
While viewing the Automap, you can:
•
Scroll the map left or right.
•
Zoom in or out for a close-up look or a bird's-eye view of your present position.
•
Scale up or down instantly to the highest or lowest zoom views.
•
Activate Follow mode to move your character quickly to another part of the map.
•
Display a Grid that gives you an idea of the distance between various positions on the map.
•
Move around the corridors while viewing the Automap. Be warned! Doing so is deadly dangerous, since you can't see the enemy.
See the next page for Automap button controls.
