Do! Run Run 1990 Electrocoin Software

ManualGAMEPLAY You must control Mr. Do! as he runs and runs around each levelwhere he is attacked by monsters. His only weapon is his trusty crystalball which re-bounds off any solid object such as walls or logs. Oncethe ball has been used the fire power can only be restored by thecollection of dots, cherries, apples, lemons or pineapples. Wherever he goes, Mr. Do! leaves a trail behind him which isindicated in the game by a line. Occasionally in his travels Mr. Do!will cross over his own tracks and consequently the lines whichindicate his trail will surround an area. When this happens all dots andfruit inside the area will change into more valuable fruit and a higherscore will be obtained when the dots and fruit are collected. Thisenables Mr. Do! to re-charge his firepower more rapidly. Occasionally, in a metamorphic display, the monsters transform intofaster and more ferocious creatures. Fortunately for Mr. Do! after 15seconds the monsters return to their original shape. But during thatperiod Mr. Do! must move very fast indeed. Monsters are bad enough, but at least all they do is walk aroundthe screen, but snakes are a different kettle of fish altogetherbecause they can turn into fireballs which chase Mr. Do! and are totallyinvulnerable to his crystal ball. The odds are against Mr. Do! but at least he has the potential foringenuity. It is up to you how much potential he uses. For example,monsters can also be killed by rolling logs down on them and it he keepscrossing his own tracks he will be able to replenish his firepower moreeasily. To complete each screen, Mr. Do! must destroy all the monsters orcollect all the dots. Each screen is made up of several levels of varying height. Mr.Do! can use this to his advantage but it can also work against him. Ifhe throws his crystal ball from the top level it will pass over theheads of monsters on lower levels bouncing off the far wall and returningto him. If they are on the same level, however, the ball will destroythe first monster it meets. Mr. Do! does have an advantage over many of the monsters. He cantravel up and down the slopes linking the levels much more quickly thansome of the monsters. The advantage gained might well give Mr. Do! allthe seconds he needs.SPECIAL BONUS ITEMS Every time Mr. Do! crosses his own tracks and consequently createsan area of dots and fruit surrounded by his trail, there is apossibility that Mr. Do! will be able to take the first step intoearning a bonus. Occasionally appearing in one of these newly formed areas will bean icon within which will be one of the 5 letters which make up the wordEXTRA. This letter will continuously change to one of the other 4letters. When Mr. Do! moves over the icon, a bonus monster surroundedby guards will appear. Once the monster is killed, Mr. Do! will havecollected the letter shown when he first stepped on the icon. Once Mr.Do! has collected all 5 letters, he will gain an extra life. There is another way Mr. Do! can produce the word EXTRA and gain anextra life. Every time he scores 10,000 points, a bonus monster willappear. Upon killing this monster he will earn one of the importantletters. But this time what the letter is will be random and Mr. Do!will have to rely on lady luck to gain the word quickly this way. On other occasions when our hero's trail surround an area, adiamond will sometimes appear. If Mr. Do! can collect this jewel beforeit vanishes he will be transported to a new level.SCORINGFruit and dots in order Number needed for Points of value new crystal ball----------------------- ------------------- -------Dots 12 10Cherry 10 20Apples 8 40Lemons 6 80Pineapples 4 100Number of times crystal ball Pointsbounces before hitting monster------------------------------ -------No bounce 5001 bounce 1,0002 bounces 1,5003 bounces 2,0004 bounces 2,500
