Story -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The year is 2026. An evil tyrant who calls himself 'Achilles' rules with an iron fist. His unstoppable army of warriors keeps the world at Achilles' mercy. Once a proud member of Achilles' elite group of Trojan Warriors, you realize that Achilles is not the great leader you once took him to be. Seeing the unspeakable acts of cruelty he has committed on innocent people causes you to abandon your position and join the resistance against Achilles. The resistance did not last long. Achilles' loyal Trojan Warriors quickly destroy any uprising against their master. Knowing that there is no other way, you infiltrate Achilles' capitol, the city of Troy. The only thing that stands between you and your former master is an army of merciless killers. With your sword and shield in hand, you enter the frey.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

Items -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No video game hero can make it far in a game without power-up items! The Trojan Warrior in this game is no exception. He will find a number of items along his journey through Troy. Floating Heart - VERY valuable. This item will restore half of your stamina High-Jump Boot - This item will temporarily let you jump the heighth of the screen so you can reach other items or whack hard-to-reach enemies. Throwing Star - This is not an offensive item, unfortunately. It's only function is to give you a mega-point boost. That's all. Sorry. Key - This item will, you guessed it, unlock a door. Big surprise there. 1UP - Do I even need to say it? Mice - These rodents really don't do anything. You only get extra points for finding them. Power-Up - This is the 'Must-Have' item for the game. Obtaining a floating 'P' will double your attacking strength. You will keep this item until you die. Speed-up - This is a very rare, yet very useful item. Obtaining the floating 'S' will double your walking speed, making it easy to reach enemies before they can attack you. Sword and Shield - If the Armored Foot Solider causes you to lose your weapons, these will appear at a later time in the level. Remember, without them, you cannot guard, so get them back as quick as possible if you lose them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

Name: Archer Weapon: Crossbow Difficulty: Easy Hits to Kill: 1 Description: This guy pops out of a manhole armed with a crossbow. He won't appear until you're almost on top of him, so simply attack low and put him out of your way.

Bosses -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Iron Hand Weapon: Metal Projectile Fist Difficulty: Medium Hits to Kill: 8 Description: This metal-plated tough guy is in command of the streets. He can fire his metal fist at you and block your attacks with his wrist shield. Strategy: Iron Hand will fire his fist high, and it will return low. When he fires it, duck, and then quick attack. Once you hit him, guard low, and he'll force you back. Then jump over the returning fist. When he gets weak, he won't fire his fist so far, so pay attention to it. Name: Armadillon(Green) Weapon: Armored Hyde Difficulty: Medium Hits to Kill: 8 Description: This is the leader of the Armadillons. He attacks by rolling up into a ball and rolling across the screen. Remember to jump over them as they roll under you or it will cause a double-dose of damage. Also avoid his fireball breath. Strategy: When you first encounter him, he will immediately roll into a ball and attack. Dodge it until he stands up, and slash him. He will perform the same pattern until he's dead. Name: Muscler Weapon: Club Difficulty: Easy Hits to Kill: 8 Description: This power-house guards the entrance to Achilles' underground fortress. Their massive clubs will cause two blocks of damage and are unblockable. Strategy: Walk up to the big lug and slash him once, then back out of range of his club. He will swing it a few times. After he does, perform the same manuever until you kill him. Name: Trojan Warrior Weapon: Sword and Shield Difficulty: Hard Hits to Kill: 8 Description: Along the way, you'll have to do battle with your former comrads, who will kill you on sight for your betrayal. They are virtual clones of you, possessing your same weapons and moves. Strategy: These cheap suckers tend to crouch and guard a lot. When they do that try jumping and slashing. Hopefully, you'll hit their heads as you come down. They'll try the same strategy against you, so remember to do a standing guard when they do to keep from getting hit. Name: King Shriek Weapon: Flail Difficulty: Medium Hits to Kill: 4 Description: These warriors are statues brought to life by magic. They are Achilles' last line of defense. When they burst from their stone forms, remember to avoid the flying rocks. Strategy: King Shriek's flail gives him a long reach. Walk close to him and perform a jump attack. When you hit him, guard low, and he'll force you back. Remember that when you kill the first one, a second one will burst from the wall. After killing the first one immediately get to the side of the screen opposite the second one. Name: Achilles Weapon: Long Sword Difficulty: Extremely Hard Hits to Kill: 8 Description: As the final boss, Achilles is all too happy to give you a fight to the death. His long sword gives him incredible reach, and to top that, he can take off four energy blocks with one hit. Two hits and it's over for you! Strategy: Never attack Achilles on the ground or when he's swinging his sword. Wait until he has it over his head and jump attack him, immediatly followed by a low guard. He will force you back, and once you're out of his range, back off, and get ready to do it again. Make sure you are very quick with your low guard after hitting him. Most of time, he'll block your attack, and when he does, perform a low guard before he can counter-attack. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.
