Saving High Scores
When the "Game Over" screen appears, hit the FIRE button. The alphabet
appears with a man under it. Moving the joystick left or right, walk the
man to the first letter you want. Stop at the letter by releasing the
joystick, then move the joystick forward to choose the letter. Hit the Fire
button again to move on to the next letter. You can use four letters.
The game is basically the same as the IBM version. You must go through the
levels in the same order.
There are seven levels of outrageous enemies you must defeat before you get
the chance to rescue the president. Be careful out there. And remember,
the fate of our country lies in your hands. The President - KIDNAPPED?!
You've barely had a chance for the news to sink in when the phone rings.
It's the head of the Secret Service. Before he says a word you know why
he's calling - the Dragon Ninja is responsible for the kidnapping and you
alone can rescue the President from his clutches.
The FBI has tracked the Dragon Ninja and his captive to an abandoned factory
far away from the White House. You need to act fast. The Dragon Ninja has
a helicopter waiting at the factory to spirit the President away. If he
makes his getaway before you can stop him, the world will never see the
President again.
The bad news is that the Dragon Ninja knows that the Secret Service knows -
and he'll be ready for you . You can expect to face - at the very least -
wave after wave of ninja henchmen, vicious dogs, and samurai warriors as you
make your way through city and forest, atop moving big rigs and freight
trains.
Remember - the nation is counting on you!

THE CITY
Once you step outside, your life is in danger. FBI informants from all over
the city have reported spotting the Dragon Ninja's henchmen. Information
the FBI has in its files about the warriors makes it clear they're not all
alike. They train in different skills, so don't expect the tactics that
work on one group to work on all of them.
You need to travel light, so you won't be taking any weapons with you. But
keep an eye out for knives, and numchucks you may find along the way. You
can carry only one weapon at a time, and you lose the weapon you're carrying
when you lose a life.
There has also been a rumor that Karnov is in town. Karnov is a one-time
circus strongman who has a unique talent for breathing fire from his mouth.
Needless to say, you'll want to avoid this. His reasons for joining forces
with the Dragon Ninja aren't clear. You'll find him much more difficult to
defeat than anyone else you encounter in the city.
THE BIG RIG
Hopping a big rig is a good way of getting out of town fast. But be
prepared. The Dragon Ninja has trained his troops in daring assault
tactics. His ninjas will no doubt attack you from all sides. Something
else suspicious is happening. There have been a growing number o~ reports
about rabid dogs roaming the streets. The number is far higher than could
be expected normally. The only conclusion to reach is that they're being
set loose in the city by someone (and you get one guess about who that
"someone" might be). Watch out for the dogs - they have your scent and
they'll be looking for you.
Make your way to the front of the truck. Whatever else you do, take care
when you jump from one trailer to another and from the front trailer to the
cab - if you fall off the truck you'll take a hit and you'll lose time.
When you get to the cab, the driver will stop the truck to let you off.
Watch out - that's a dangerous moment. The Dragon Ninja will no doubt have
one of his super warriors lying in wait for you.
THE SEWER
You'll next find yourself in a large storm sewer. You can follow the path
along the water's edge, or you can use the ledges above it. Needless to
say, stay out of the water.
At the end of the sewer, you'll encounter another of the Dragon Ninja's
super warriors.
THE FOREST
The sewer leads to the forest. The Dragon Ninja has let loose another pack
of rabid dogs there. If you're agile enough to walk along the tall hedges
in the forest, you can keep away from them up there.
At the far edge of the forest, you'll have to do battle with one of the
super warriors before you can continue.
THE FREIGHT TRAIN
Hop one of the freight trains that travels the old Southern & Pacific line
to take you to the vicinity of the factory where the Dragon Ninja is holding
the President. Make your way to the other end of the train - and be careful
as you jump from one car to the next.
One of the Dragon Ninja's super warriors is known to be commanding the
hordes that are keeping watch on the freights that travel the Southern &
Pacific line. Once the ninjas report your presence to him, you can be sure
you'll have to deal with him before you reach the end of the line.
THE CAVE
The factory where the Dragon Ninja is holding the President is impregnable
from ground level. But there's a secret cave that leads to the very heart
of the factory. The Dragon Ninja hasn't had a chance to fortify it as he
has the rest of the factory but you can be sure that he keeps it under close
guard and that he'll throw all the man power he has at you when you enter
it.
The cave has an unusual natural hazard, too - falling stalactites. The
stalactites - something like stone icicles - formed over the centuries as
water dripping slowly from the ceiling of the cave deposited minerals there.
Many of the stalactites are only loosely attached to the ceiling of the cave
and can fall without warning.
Guarding the end of the cave closest to the factory is a super warrior.
You'll have to defeat him before you can get into the factory. THE FACTORY
By the time you reach the factory, some of the super warriors you've
defeated earlier will have had a chance to return to the factory to
reinforce it. Your first objective when you reach the factory is the
elevator~, which will take you to the second floor. The elevator is guarded
by one of the super warriors, and you'll have to defeat him before you can
use it.
When you reach the second floor, make your way to the Dragon Ninja's
helicopter. He'll no doubt try to take off - with the President aboard - as
soon as he senses you're near. You may have to jump up to the hovering
helicopter's runners and do battle with the Dragon Ninja there.
You don't need the Secret Service to tell you that the Dragon Ninja will be
your most challenging opponent. Be ready for a fierce battle. And remember
- you must defeat him at all costs to save the President.
* In the Apple version, there is no elevator; the helicopter is on the first
floor of the factory.
