Jungle Warfare!
You are a member of those elite combat specialists,
the Ikari Warriors. Your
buddy and you are on a special mission behind enemy lines, and
you've been
sleeping, eating, and breathing jungle combat for the last two
weeks. You're
tired, but that never affects your razor-sharp judgment and your
will to
survive.
Your main weapons are machine guns, grenades,
and your own cunning in the face of danger. Sometimes you'll have
a tank at your disposal, which comes in
handy when enemy fire is particularly brutal.
You move swiftly through the jungle, wading through
rivers and resting from
time to time within the ruins of bombed-out buildings. You're
running out of
ammunition and grenades, but you know the battle can't last forever.
Sooner
or later, one side is going to emerge victorious. Let's just hope
it's yours!
Getting Started
1. With your TV switched on, insert the Ikari
Warriors cartridge into your
Atari 7800 as described in your owner's manual.
2. Connect a controller to the left controller
port. In two-player Ikari
Warriors, connect a controller to each controller port.
3. Switch on your console. The Ikari Warriors
title screen appears.
4. To select one or two-player Ikari Warriors,
press SELECT or move the
controller up and down to highlight the desired option. To select
the
highlighted option, press the fire button or RESET.
To select the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced,
or Expert difficult level,
press SELECT or move the controller up and down to highlight the
desired
option. The more difficult the level, the more enemies appear
on the
screen and the faster those enemies move to attack.
To select the highlighted option and begin the
game, press the fire button
or RESET.
Optional Game Controls
The following optional game controls allow you
to pause and restart the game:
* To pause the game press PAUSE. Repeat to resume
play.
* To return to the opening screen and restart
the game with the currently
selected options, press RESET.
Playing the Game
Ikari Warriors is a one or two player game of
survival. You and your partner
move behind enemy lines in hopes of wiping out the enemy. You
begin the game
with 50 grenades, 99 rounds of ammunition and 3 lives. If you're
lucky you
can capture a tank to protect you from enemy fire.
Move your controller to maneuver through the jungle.
Your main weapons are
machine guns and grenades. To fire bullets and tank shells, press
the left
fire button. To toss grenades, press the right fire button until
the grenade
launches.
Watch your bullet and grenade supplies carefully.
Pick up new supplies before
you run out. To pick up new supplies, simply walk over a supply
icon. Other
icons upgrade your fire power. (See Items.)
The tank, which moves only on dry land, provides
safety from enemy fire. To
enter the tank, move your player onto the top of the tank and
press the right
fire button.
Although the tank can be destroyed by enemy grenades,
you cannot be hit as
long as you are in the tank. If the tank sustains damage and stops,
get out
of there! If the tank explodes while you are inside, you go with
it. To exit
the tank, press the left and right fire buttons simultaneously.
You can swivel the turrent while maintaining the
tank's position and
orientation. Hold down the right button while you move the controller.
The
turrent will move, but the tank will not. Press the left button
to fire shots
from the tank.
You must pick up fuel along the way to keep the
tank moving. The tank
explodes if it runs out of gas, so don't miss the energy supply
icons!
In your journey through the jungle, you will occasionally
encounter a river or
the sea. You will have to cross the water in order to continue,
but your
movement will be slowed down while you are in the water. You can
still fire
while you are in the water.
If you come into physical contact with an enemy
soldier you lose a life. You
can hide behind rocks and rubble to avoid enemy gunfire. However,
you will
still be vulnerable to their grenades, so watch out!
Each time the enemy makes a successful hit, you
lose a life. You receive a
bonus life every 20,000 points. The game is over when you lose
your last
life.
To win the game, you must rescue the colonel being
held captive by the enemy.
You receive one million points for rescuing him.

Strategy
Conserve bullets and grenades.
Plan your attack carefully. Dash in quickly, shoot,
and back off before the
enemy has a chance to aim and shoot back!
If you come into contact with an enemy soldier
you lose a life.
Learn enemy locations and anticipate enemy attacks.
Tanks can be very destructive, especialy when
they run out of fuel. Keep an eye
on the fuel level, and be ready to bail out when the tank is close
to empty.
