                         Spy Vs Spy III  Arctic Antics


                        Docz Revised By: Kounter Fitter


                                   Objective!

    You're stranded on iceberg island somewhere in the Artic with your arch
 enemy.  And the years worst blizzard is headed straight towards you.  There
 is only one way off the island, in a rocket ship built for One.  Ya know 
 what that means....Leaving one spy behind to die.


    In order to launch the rocket and make you escape, you'll first need to
 gather the following items: a Punch card, Gyroscope, Fuel canister, and
 Launch briefcase.  Collect these hidden items, by fair means or foul, make
 your way to the launch site and leave your enemy behind to battle the arctic
 elements.


                                 Your Options!

    Once the program has finished loading, You'll see the Options Screen.
 With the Joystick, Move around and select what you wish....This is quite
 obvious..

                                   Starting.

    When you are done selecting you options go to the funny looking "GO"
 then hit your button.  Now you are about to start the c00l game, amazing
 eh?

                             Controlling Your Spy!!

    Now this is a toughy...  Move you joystick right to move right, move your
 joystick left to move left, and etc.  Boy if ya can't handle ya that you're
 screwed.

                       Picking, Dropping, and Burying crap..

    Move your spy over the object and press the Fire Button to pick up an
 object.  To drop and object, move to the location you want to drop it and
 press the Fire Button again( this only applies to the escape items).  To
 bury an object (hide it from you opponent), move to the location you want to
 bury it.  Press the Fire button to drop the object, and move the joystick
 in any direction BEFORE RELEASING THE FIRE BUTTON to bury it!

                                The Trapulator

                                 Consists of:

                                 1. DETONATOR
                                 2. SAW
                                 3. WATER BUCKET
                                 4. ICE PICK
                                 5. SNOW SHOES
                                 6. DYNAMITE
                                 7. MAP

    The trapulator is the set of seven small windows below the view screen.
 In each window, you can see different item that you can use to help you
 get around and booby trap your enemy.  When you find an object that is not 
 in your trapulator ( the light is not on) pick it up and press the Fire
 Button.  Once and object is in your trapulator, the light will turn on above
 the storage box.

                     Using Objects From The Trapulator!

    1) Press the Fire Button twice to access the Trapulator storage boxes.
    You must not be standing too close to any objects that can be picked up,
    or you will end up with that object instead of accessing the trapulator.

    2) Move the joystick right or left to select the desired item.  (A bell
    will sound an you'll see a blinking light everytime you move.)

    3) Press the Fire Button when the light above you choice is lit in order
    to select it.

    4) Press the Fire Button while holding the object to return and object
    an object to the trapulator.

    NOTE:  The Punch Card, Gyroscope, Fuel Canister, and Launch Briefcase
    cannot be stored in the Trapulator.  You must either hang on to them or
    put them in a safe spot.  You may even decide to bury them or booby trap
    them to keep them out of you opponent's sight or possession.


                               Launch Briefcase!

    Normally a spy can only carry one item at a time unless he has the 
 Launch Briefcase.  With the Briefcase, a spy can pick up and carry the other
 three necessary items.  This makes the briefcase extremely valuable when
 trying to collect everything you need for your escape.

                               Natural Hazzards!

    Throughout the course of the game there are several natural hazards 
 that you'll have to avoid or endure.  Here's what they are , and a couple 
 suggestions what to do if they involve you.


    Blizzard:  The digital clock on the right side of the screen tells when
    then game will end.  "The Big Storm" will start before the clock runs out.
    When it does, it maybe over for both the spies, but just hurry you ass.

    Thin Ice:  Just try to go around the patches of ice.  If you fall
    through, you will slow down,( movement wise) and your body temp will lower
 
    Icy Water:  If you manage to slip into the icy ocean, just get the hell
    out of there...as fast as you can.  
    NOTE:  In higher levels of the game it may be necessary at times to jump
           in and swim to reach the opposite side of the island and the 
           rocket.

    Freezing to Death:  Your should keep track to your body temperature at
    all times.  As soon as it starts getting low find an igloo as fast as you
    can.  Once you get inside the igloo and you get near the fire you body
    temp will be high once again.

    Deep Snow: Certain sections of the iceberg have very deep snow.  If you 
    have you snow shoes one you'll be able to cross the deep snow with no 
    prob.

    Hanging Icicles:  Icicles pose as no threat, but if they are booby 
    trapped by your opponent, they can do some bodily harm.


 
                                 Booby Traps!

                       The following items are used: 

                       1) Saws: Used to cut holes in the ice.
                       2) Ice Picks: Used to loosed icicles.
                       3) Water Buckets: Used to spill water on snow to make
                       icy patches.
                       4) Dynamite: Used to Blow up your opponent.  You can
                       set dynamite in two ways.  Use it to booby trap an
                       object.  So when the enemy touches it, it will blow up.
                       But if you feel like moving it while it is armed, it 
                       will not harm you.  Or you can set off the dynamite
                       with you plunger from across the island.  The White
                       spy must have the white plunger and the Black spy must
                       have the black plunger to set off the dynamite.


                                Setting a trap!

                       1) Retrieve one of the items from the Trapulator.

                       2) Move your spy to the place you want to set the 
                       trap.
                       3) Hold down the Fire Button and move the joystick
                       in any direction to set the trap.  Be careful to 
                       remember where you set your traps or you may be the 
                       VICTIM!!!

                                Reading The Map

    This will help you locate the four necessary objects for escape, and
 your position on the iceberg island.  To read the map do the same thing you
 would do to access the Trapulator.  The rest is quite obvious....


                              Snow Ball Fighting!!!

    Every once in a great while both spies will end up on the same screen.
 Once this happens, to defend yourself you must throw snow balls at the other
 spy.  To do this you must get on snow(not ice) and press the Fire Button
 Rapidly towards the enemy.  This is a great part of the game I think.


                                  Conclusion!

    To win the game you must collect all four items and enter the rocket
 hatch to make you escape from certain death on the arctic island.
