LEGEND OF THE AMAZON WOMEN
--------------------------

Stranded in the middle of the jungle after a terrible plane crash, your child
has been stolen by a tribe of Amazon Warriors, who want to raise her as one
of their own. You must fight your way through the jungle past Amazons armed
with clubs, swords and axes, avoiding the many arrows, in order to rescue your
daughter.

One player only.
Joystick only.

THE GAME

Your goal is to fight your way through the ten zones and rescue the stolen
child. The Amazons will do their best to stop you. They will fight you one
at a time, though they constantly fire arrows at you which you need to avoid
by jumping or ducking. As you progress through the game the Amazons will get
more intelligent and harder to defeat.

You have a limited time to complete each zone, if you fail to reach the end
of the zone before your time runs out you lose a life.

If you are hit by an arrow or an Amazon, your energy will decrease. It is
regained slowly if you avoid being hit. If your energy reaches zero you will
die. You restart from where you currently are but your time is not reset. You
will recieve a bonus score for completing a level with time left on your
clock. Zones are marked by voodoo idols.

At the top of the screen there is a radar. You are shown in the centre, with
the number of lives remaining shown. Vertical arrows are undefeated Amazons,
defeated Amazons are shown with a cross. Spiker plants are shown as a
coconut. Dragons are not displayed on the radar. Arrows are shown giving you
valuable warning of their height and direction.

There are three weapons. You start off armed with a club. If you manage to
defeat an Amazon armed with a sword or an axe then you can pick it up and
use this instead of your club, you can also exchange a sword for an axe.

You also need to avoid the spikes shot out by the plants, and the Dragons
that appear from out of the ground on later levels.
