STORY
=====

(Taken from the game)

"To: Agent 006
Priority: For your eyes only

**Destroy file after reading**

Our government scientists have been working on a secret project: A ruby-
powered laser satellite with the ability to pinpoint and fire upon any 
target from Earth orbit, code named "Red Rock Rover".

Two weeks ago the blueprints were stolen by the Diabolical Villain 
Society (DVS), which will use them to build the ultimate terrorist 
threat.

You've been chose by the Bureau to infiltrate DVS headquarters and 
secure the blueprints.  The headquarters are located on a series of 
islands in the Pacific Basin.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to bring back the 
secret blueprints to the "Red Rock Rover" project.  You will be isolated 
from outside help.

You should be warned that this mission is of global importance and must 
succeed in order to maintain a balance of world power.

We do not have a file on the head of DVS, but he is suspected to be very 
cunning and dangerous.  DVS are built up as an elaborate series of 
fortresses on three well guarded islands.

As always, should you be caught the Bureau will disavow any knowledge of 
your existence."


========
CONTROLS
========

The controls for this game are very simple, and are as follows:

Ctrl - Used to Jump.
Alt - Fires your gun.
Arrow Keys - Move your character left and right.
F1 - Options

These controls can be customized in the options menu (F1), you can also 
save and load your game through this menu.


=====
ITEMS
=====

Keys - They come in a number of colours and match the colour of the door 
that they unlock.  You can carry more than one key at once, but you can 
only carry one key of the same colour at once.

Bullets - These give you 5 more shots for your gun.

Running Shoes - These make you move a lot faster.

Lightning - This symbol powers up your gun so your shots do more damage. 
(?)

Barrel - These red barrels with arrows on them can be pushed around.

Teleporter - Transports you to a different location.

Dynamite - You need this to blow up the exit to each stage, just don't 
get caught in the blast.

Floppy Disk - You will need these to access the computer terminals.

Finally there are a number of items that serve no real function other 
than giving you points, collect them at your leisure.


=======
ENEMIES
=======

There are a number of enemies, some are human, others are robotic, and 
then there are basic hazards.

-----
Human
-----

There are 5 types of human enemies, I'll refer to them by their colour 
usually.  Although I say a human takes a certain number of shots to 
kill, really he becomes the next weakest enemy after each shot.

Black(Gun) - This enemy takes 5 shots to kill, and he has a gun to shoot 
you back with.

Blue(Gun) - This enemy takes 4 shots to kill, and he has a gun to shoot 
you back with.

Black - This enemy takes 3 shots to kill, and he moves quite fast.

Red - This enemy takes 2 shots to kill.

White - This enemy takes 1 shot to kill, and he moves quite slowly.

-------
Robotic
-------

Ceiling Bot - Moves along the ceiling and fires downward at you, takes 3 
shots to destroy.

Flying Bot - Flies just above the ground and shoots electricity 
downwards every so often. (invincible)

Small Tank - Rolls along the ground and gets in your way, takes 3 shots 
to destroy.  Beware though, once destroyed 2 large pieces of shrapnel 
fire at you, one from each side so jump or avoid it.

Large Tank - Rolls along the ground and fires shots at you, takes three 
shots to destroy.

Cyborg - This giant bot can only by damaged when his face is visible, 
shoot him once there to kill him.

Walker - This giant bot fires at you, takes one shot to the head to kill 
when its head is raised.

Dog - This large bot runs at you and gets in your way, takes 3 shots to 
destroy.

Floating Mine - Just flies back and forth, takes 2 shots to destroy.

Trap - This looks like a blue spinning thing in a dome, mounted on the 
ceiling.  It's the trigger for a trap, and can be destroyed with 3 
shots.

There are some other things to watch out for like water, lava, mines and 
laser beams which will all kill you instantly.  Then there's spikes and 
fire, which will just cause you to take a hit.  All of these can be 
jumped or avoided.  Also ceiling fans of all things hurt you if you 
happen to jump up to them and mash your head against their whirling 
blades.


====
TIPS
====

At the start of every stage you can take 3 hits before being killed, 
though you have unlimited lives.


========
THE GAME
========

In every stage there is a security radar dish, you must destroy it 
(takes 3 shots) to complete the stage.  Once you have destroyed all of 
them the main fortress will open.

When you first start you can only see one level on the map, so go there 
first.

Since the bonus items are just for points and really optional I won't 
mention them in my strategy.

You can do the stages in almost any order you want, this is just the 
route I took.

--------
Stage 01
--------

Jump onto the sign and grab the bullets.  Drop onto the platform when it 
passes near you, jump to the blue platform and wait.  Jump to the next 
moving platform drop to the lower edge at the other side.

Drop onto the box and grab the floppy disk on your right, and the 
bullets below it.  Jump back up to the box then drop down on your left 
and shoot the white guard.  Jump straight up and shoot the guard twice, 
then jump up to his level and shoot him 3 more times.  Jump the mine and 
grab the red key, then return to your box.  From your box jump to the 
red door above you, then grab the blue key there.  Drop down to the blue 
door and grab the green key there.  Work your way to the larger box 
below your box, and wait until the dog is close to the green door.

Then kill him and open the door, jump to the spike platform when it is 
down, then quickly jump to the blue platform on your right.  Grab the 
bullets and use the computer to turn off the laser below.  Drop to the 
spike platform and jump left to the guard's area, kill him.  Jump up to 
the next area when the floating mine is on your right, then jump up to 
the next area and grab the red key, making sure you don't land on the 
floating mine.  Return to the disabled laser and jump through the red 
door on your left.  Grab the x-ray glasses and jump up the new platforms 
to the ammo and blue key.  Head for the blue door above you, and destroy 
the radar dish.  Now return to the area where you got the glasses.

Drop down and run right, grabbing the ammo as you go.  Jump over the 
missile behind you and kill the red guard.  Jump onto the wall, then 
jump up and shoot the armed guard twice.  Jump to his platform, and kill 
the guards there.  Grab the dynamite at the end and drop to the floor.  
Jump the mine and carefully run under the flying bot.  Then use your 
dynamite on the door and escape.


Head right in this new area to reach the next stage.


--------
Stage 02
--------

Head right from the start and jump the shots being fired at you as you 
grab the ammo and rest on the box.  Jump over the turret and kill the 
red guard, then carefully climb the stairs.  Climb the platforms on the 
right side of the stage to eventually reach a blue key, watch out for 
spikes, then drop back down to the stairs.

Jump to the blue door on your left, open it and shoot the guard as you 
hide on the table.  You can then finish off the guard and grab another 
blue key.  Open the next blue door and grab ammo an dynamite while 
avoiding the ceiling bot's shots.  Return to where the first blue door 
was, and jump up the red platforms.  Take the lower path on your left 
and destroy the small tank, then take the upper path opposite the green 
door.  Avoid the 2 spikes and grab the ammo, Jump up and take the right 
path.  Destroy the cyborg and grab the green key.

Head for the green door below you and grab the floppy disk.  Take the 
upper spike route again and take the left route on the other side.  Use 
the computer to disable the laser field, then head through the lower 
route where you destroyed the small tank earlier.  Grab the ammo and 
destroy the radar dish, then use the exit in the upper left corner of 
the stage.


Head right to reach the next stage.

spike and get the "?" you will now feel confused, which means your 
controls for movement are reversed for a short period of time.  Push the 
barrel past the spike then jump up and kill the large tank.  Walk to the 
right wall (don't jump), then jump over it into the armory.  Grab the 
dynamite, floppy disk and 2 sets of bullets all without destroying the

That's the end of the game.



I have decided not to allow websites other than gamefaqs 
(www.gamefaqs.com) to host my FAQs from now on.  Please don't ask, 
because I will not grant permission.  It's just that too many sites 
don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of 
hassle in my mailbox.  So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than 
gamefaqs, please let me know and I will take care of the situation, 
thanks.
