The first version of this FAQ.  Everything's complete.

3. Introduction
***********************************************************************

Triple Action is a great 2-player game for the Intellivision.  As the 
title sounds, the game is three small but fun games in one: tanks, car 
racing, and biplanes.  Since I like this game so much, I decided to 
write a FAQ for it!  Enjoy!

4. Battle Tanks Guide
***********************************************************************

_________________________
General Description/Rules
-------------------------

Tanks is definitely my favorite of the three Triple Action includes.  
As two battle tanks, you and a friend try to defeat each other and 
score points.  Every time you kill your opponent, you score one point.  
First one to 15 wins!

Options 
-------

On the main screen of TA, after choosing your game, you will be able to 
choose an option.  Here is what each option does:

Option 1: Long-Range Ricochet 
This is fun!  Shoot a bullet at a wall, and it bounces back!  The 
bullets also can go very far.

Option 2: Short-Range Ricochet
Same as option 1, except your bullets don't fire as far.

Option 3: Long-Range No Ricochet
The bullets can shoot far, but they can't bounce off walls.

Option 4: Short-Range No Ricochet
Same as option 3, except the bullets fire a shorter distance.

____
Tips
----

- If you're playing with ricochet, be careful.  If you shoot a bullet 
at a wall, make sure you leave the area before it bounces back and 
kills you, rewarding your opponent with a point!

- Walls are the only thing that you can use to protect yourself from 
your opponent's fire, so make sure you use them in your protection.  
However, although defense is important, make sure to work on offense 
too.  Look for opportunities to corner the enemy tank in an area where 
they can't attack you!

5. Racing Cars Guide
***********************************************************************

_________________________
General Description/Rules
-------------------------

You and somebody else are racing on a highway to see who can reach 100 
game miles first.  However, there are cars blocking your path.  If you 
crash, then you get charged a little bit of time to let your opponent 
get away!  Good luck!
