FLASH GORDON(c)1986 Mastertronic and King Features Syndicate, Inc.

[This game was released in the US as "Captain Zapp" and releasedonly in Europe as "Flash Gordon."]----------------------------------------------------------

Flash, your Earthworld will be soon under attack from Ming. Youmust stop him. Seek help from Prince Barin. You have tofind his cave first in the jungle... and this within 24 hours!

[For "Captain Zapp", Ming is Targ, and Barin is Goram...]

Level 1: In the Jungle----------------------

Try to stay on your feet long enough to map out your surroundings!You can neither save the game nor pause it - You are in real time(except when you are knocked out and then time goes much faster!)

 You first will have to master the use of your joystick! It is notthat simple...

At crossroads you can move into and out of the screen by holdingthe fire button and moving the joystick in the direction you wantto go.

The complete joystick controls are:

move in                     shoot high      medium*                            *        *   shot*                            *     *

*                            *  *fly-kick *******X******* jump    turn *******X******* run

*                            *  **                            *     **                            *        *   low

move out                       duck          shot

--- Fire button pressed ---   --- Fire button not!! pressed ------------------------------   ---------------------------------

(Watch out for wasting ammos here!)

You have two pistols, each with 6 bullets. You can reload your

weapons by crouching on ammunition boxes found in your path.

Making a map (on paper!) is really vital to successfully gettingthrough this first phase of the game. Landmarks are not repeatedso keep a note of them. Arrows found in your way help.They point towards Barin's cave. So note them.

(Barin is the 'big friend' who supposedly can help you.  Alas, hehas turned to the enemy, and you will have to battle him insteadin the next phase of the game!!!!)

Level 2: Battling Barin

-----------------------This is achieved by hitting him more than he hits you! Soundssimple, but you just try it... A range of moves is available to

Level 3:  On Your Bike

----------------------The joystick controls both your movements and fire.

The Guards---Move left & right and the bike moves with you. In order to reachyour maximum possible speed, a number of the flying robot guardswill need to be taken out. Each one that passes makes it moredifficult for you.

The Power Gates---Once traveling at speed, steer through the power gates to buildup your energy. This energy will have been sadly depleted bythe robot gards dropping heavy explosive objects on you.

The Minefield---One more little obstacle appears in the form of a minefield.Ming lies beyond it. All you have to do is steer through withouthitting anything. Each contact depletes your energy again. Thiscan be quickly fatal...

At last, Ming!!!---Should you defy the odds, triumph over adversity and all that,you will catch sight of Ming as he flashes along on his jet-bike.Take him out quickly, as he fights back in a particularlyefficient manner.

-------------------------------------------Done all that? Good - You've saved the world.----------------------------------------

We (bec & me) think that Flash Gordon is the bestof Mastertronic because of the 'added dimension'...
