HELI-RESCUE : ---- GAME MANUAL ---- (English version)

--------------------
- GOAL of the game:
--------------------
You're supposed to find 30 keys in a vast maze and to rescue the
captives from the caches your enemies have imprisoned them.
During the game, you will come across 4 different kinds of characters,
who will help you on your way to accomplish your mission.
Each character has its own color in order to distinguish them more
easily, and _you_ are supposed to pick them up and fly them back to
their r i g h t homes (look out for the colors _on_ their homes to
match with the people's colors).
The people will reward you for your aid, as follows:
- PINK-colored people:
They will always provide you with one more KEY.
- YELLOW-colored people:
Every time you manage to take e i g h t of them to their proper
homes, you will be rewarded a bonus helicopter (=extra life!).
- BLINKING people:
You're NOT supposed to take these people to their homes _on the spot_,
this CANNOT be done because these people's intention is to help _you_
first of all:
they will assist you in getting keys from locations UNREACHABLE
from your helicopter.
You can transport 4 people maximum with your helicopter,
so you must watch out _who_ you're carrying.
Inside the maze, there are some switches at certain locations
you can open and close certain caves and corridors with.
You can switch them on and off using your FIRE button.
A lot of enemies will want to spoil your plans, though.
Some of them can be ZAPPED with a couple of accurate shots
from your weapon[s], some others, however, are going to attend on
you, having in mind to give you an impressive fit. ;)
NOTE: You CANNOT hit people who are supposed to be picked up!!
--------------------
CONTROL
--------------------
Joystick Control:
UP - Chopper rises
DOWN - Chopper descends
RIGHT - Chopper declines to the right
LEFT - Chopper declines to the left
FIRE - Discharge a shot
When landing on an area marked "LAND", you can, if you press 'DOWN' and
'FIRE' simultaneously, check out the number of people you're currently
carrying and the number of keys already found.
--------------------
HINTS
--------------------
Hint 1: ALWAYS make sure you have a blue-colored person
among the people you're carrying, so you can refuel in
case of emergency.
Hint 2: Every time you discharge people, make sure to land
on an area with arrows drawn on it.
Hint 3: After losing one of your helicopters, it's best to
take off from the area marked "LAND" that you touched last.
So feel free to take a "detour" from time to time. :)
Have fun with HELI-RESCUE!
