1. First Bits
After the game has loaded there is a brief introduction before it gets down
to the business of presenting the player with the humungous task of saving
the world. Press fire if you want to skip the introduction.
2. Map Bits
Next comes the map screen which is central to the quest of destroying the
credibility of the world leader. Using the joystick, select the leader you
would like to rule even less than all the other leaders you wouldn’t like to
lead either. This will be the leader you are about to beat up. Next choose
the leader who you would like to do the beating up. This will be the leader
you will control.
From there you will be flown instantly to the home territory of the target
leader. To comply with the new 1992 EEC regulations, there will be no duty
free goods during the instant flight.
3. Ouch Bits
To defeat your opponent you must win a ‘best of five’ series of fights. If
you lose then you are a humiliating failure. The kid down the street did
better than you and he’s only been playing computer games a week and
probably his mum could even beat your score and get to write her name above
yours which would be really embarrasing if your friend saw it and you’d
have to keep making excuses if they came round to your house and wanted to
play the game because you’d have to say something like “Oh it’s broken” and
they’d say “it doesn’t look very broken to me” and switch it on and see
your friend’s mum’s name before yours and you’d have to pretend it was a
joke but they wouldn’t believe you and they’d go round telling everyone what
a lousy score you got and your parents would be so ashamed they’d pretend
to be dead just to get you put in an orphanage where they wouldn’t have to
see you. And if you take our advice, then you’d throw the game away and
pretend you’d never played it.
4. Incredible Bits
If however you win the series then the target leader will have lost all
credibility. You will then be sped back to the map screen where a skull will
be sitting in place of the leader you have just beaten. From there you must
once again pick two more leaders, and prividing you keep winning then the
show goes on! You may be wondering what happens when you are left with one
leader. Well we are not going to tell you. On some cassette version of the
game, you may be asked to load world leaders before the fight starts. Follow
the on screen prompts.
