BE VALIANT SPACE WARRIOR THE FATE OF EARTH IS IN YOUR HANDS! Basic controls Starting the game After starting the program the demonstration mode will automatically begin. The demo runs for a few minutes, then at the end a message invites the player to 'press any button to play'. If no action takes place, the demo will start all over again. To start the game, simply press either action button on your controller, whilst the demonstration mode is running, or when the 'press any button to play' screen is displayed The game has started when the player score screen appears. This screen shows your score and the number of lives you have left. The first scene will then load automatically. Playing Space Ace You do not directly control all of Ace's actions but you control his reactions to the events that happen around him. You must decide in which direction Ace should move on the screen and when. To finish a scene successfully, move the joystick in the direction of one of the flashing areas to escape from danger. Timing is critical. All scenes require more than one move. Don't be surprised when you see Ace in one scene and Dexter in another. Ace has been hit by the Infanto Ray and he suffers an 'infantilisation' which turns him into Dexter. You always begin a new level as Dexter. As soon as the word 'Energize' appears on the screen, you can press any button on your controller to change him into Ace. However this change is only temporarily. At the end of each level, he always changes back into Dexter. Gameplay Ace's movements are controlled by the joystick on your controller. You may move Ace up, down, right or left. To use his laser gun, press either action button on your controller. Ending the game. At the beginning of each game, you have 3 lives. The game will end when you lose all your lives or when you have completed all the scenes. To exit the program, activate the 'No' hotspot on the 'Continue?' or 'Play again?' screen. Pausing the game. You can pause the game by pressing an action button when the score screen appears. If you press a button again, the program asks if you want to continue. Pressing 'yes' continues the game, pressing 'no' exits the program. Hall of Fame. The six highest scores may be stored on the player. When the game is over, you can store your name and points if your score is higher than or matches one of the top six scores stored already. Program structure. Machine induced demo. By leaving the MAIN MENU on the screen for a few minutes, a self perpetuating tour will begin to cycle on screen. It consists of a mixture of slides of game screens. This screen display will act as a screen saver, shifting images continually in order until an action button is pressed. This mode is accompanied by music and audio. Routes to success.. At the beginning of the game, you have 3 lives. If you make a wrong move whilst playing you loose a life and go back to the beginning of the level. The game will end when you lose all your lives or when you have finished all levels. At the end of each successfully completed level you are awarded points. There are a number of different paths that can be taken when playing the game. Throughout the game, every path can be played in 4 different ways: Each path is described twice either as Little Dexter (Infanto Ray victim) or as Ace (the game hero). Whether going down the Little Dexter route or the Ace route there is also a mirror image version of the same sequence were the game actions are simply reversed. This means that instead of moving right you move left and instead of moving left you move right. Up still remains up and down remains down. Every level starts off with Dexter. For most levels, at some point during play the option 'ENERGISE' appears. On pressing an action button just before the 'ENERGISE' word appears, Dexter is then changed back into Ace. Extra points can be gained by choosing the more difficult Ace route which is harder to complete with more challenges. The user just has to complete TWO levels before being awarded an extra life. Staying as Dexter throughout a level is only easy because it takes less time to complete the level. Playing as Dexter throughout is still time critical and you still have to make the right moves but an extra life is awarded only after completing THREE levels.

Here the game continues in the same way as in path 1, so starting from the moment you see Kimberly on the platform.(**) Path 3 If you activated the third 'energize', you change into Ace. Move your joystick up or press an action button. You will fall backwards. Now you have to move up to jump. Now the game continues the same way as in path 1 (***). Path 4 If you activated the fourth 'Energize' you change into Ace. Move the joystick up or press an action button to jump up. From here on the game continues the same way as in path 1 (***) The game cheatmode. There are two places in the game where you can activate the cheat- mode. The first one is in the "press any button to play"-screen. This is the screen you get after the introduction and the highscores (don't interrupt them). In this screen you have to click four times on button two on the left side, then move completely to the right side and click three times on button two and than once more on button two on the left side. Make sure you use button two because you won't get the cheat- mode with button one. The second place where you can activate the cheat-mode is in the screen you get after you have finished the game or lost all your lives. It is the screen where you have the choice to play again with a "yes" and a "no" hotspot (Don't confuse this screen with the pause-screen). Here you have to do the same actions : Four clicks on button two on the left, three times button two on the right side and one time on button two on the left side. The scores of the cheat-mode won't be displayed in the highscores.
