GENERAL TIPS
------------

The first aspect of the game you master are the joystick controls. The
highly interactive nature of the game is required because of some of the
complex moves the Ninja character has to peform. A high level of
competance at the controls will enhance your game play considerably.
Because of the adventure elements our second sudgestion is that you
should get into the habit of recording what happens on each screen. This
will enable you to obtain higher scores with repeat pley.
The last point is, NEVER take anthing for granted - some things are
not as they appear. Be curious, nosey, etc. and examine everything.
