Warning, big file. I put this in quote text which means it disables line break, to have it appear correct. Easier to read if you cop paste the entire thing into notepad and enable WordWrap.

{SIZE 8}{SHADOWS ON}{COLOR:YELLOW}Choosing A Pilot{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}When you start a new game, you need to choose a pilot to lead your robot in battle. Each pilot has unique stats:

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}POWER
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} A pilot's pure brute strength. The higher your power, the more damage you will do when punching and kicking.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}AGILITY
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} Quick thinkers make quick competitors. Agility shows your pilot's reacting speed.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}ENDURANCE
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} It's not only tensile strength that keeps a robot on its feet. Since a pilot feel each blow to his robot, ENDURANCE plays a vital role.

---Help Page 5---
{CENTER OFF}
{SIZE 8}{SHADOWS ON}{COLOR:YELLOW}Choosing A Robot{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} After selecting a pilot, you face your most important decision - which robot will represent you in combat. Each robot has many attacks, or moves, with which he can damage and eventually defeat opponents. Each robot also has at least two "special moves".

Special moves are accomplished by quick controller and button combinations. You must master the special moves if you want to become a champion.

For more information on control and special moves, see page 10 and read the manual (run HELPME.EXE from the DOS prompt).

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} After choosing tournament play, you're in the tournament command center. The control panel is on the bottom of the screen. Use it to buy or sell parts, take training courses, and fight in a tournament or simulation.

After creating a new pilot, you see a holographic picture of your robot. Your robot's name and special moves are listed on the top right.

Your pilot's stats are on the left: POWER, AGILITY, AND ENDURANCE. You can take training courses to improve these.

Your robot's stats are shown on the bottom right. These change as you buy robotic upgrades.

{SIZE 8}{SHADOWS ON}{COLOR:YELLOW}Robot Stats in Tournament Play{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}ARM SPEED and LEG SPEED
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} These gauges show the speed of your robot's limbs. As these increase, you'll be able to punch and kick more rapidly.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}ARM POWER and LEG POWER
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} These gauges describe the damage you can do when you hit or kick your opponent.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}STUN RESISTANCE
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} Upgrade this to help your robot handle the shock of repeated blows. Without, you will often be knocked dizzy.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 9}{COLOR:YELLOW}ARMOR PLATE:
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} Armor plate drastically reduces the damage done to your robot when hit.

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7} This is where the robots are prepared and inspected for battle. In a one player game, you'll see a dialog between your pilot and his opponent.

In a two player game, player one can choose the arena to fight in. Press left and right to switch arenas.

Next, your pilot is taken into the tournament lab where his nervous system is interfaced with that of his robot. He then slips into a drug-induced sleep. When the pilot awakes, his flesh replaced by hardened steel. With luck and your help, the pilot can defeat his opponent in the arena.

{SHADOWS ON}{SIZE 8}{COLOR:YELLOW}The Arena{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT}Now it's time for the real test!

The red energy meter at the top shows how much damage your robot can take before shutdown. Every successful strike against you lowers that total. If your energy meter dips below zero, your robot collapses.

The thin blue bar shows your stun damage. This bar flashes when dangerously low. When it drops below zero, your pilot becomes dizzy and loses control for several seconds.

Some arenas contain dangerous hazards: fireballs, spikes, fighter jets, and the like. If you can't take the heat, you can turn them off in the GAMEPLAY menu.

{SHADOWS ON}{SIZE 8}{COLOR:YELLOW}Offense{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} Robots have a wide range of attacks. Before you can pommel your opponent with them, you must know the controls. You can perform any move with either the keyboard or a joystick.

"Forward" means towards your opponent.
"Back" means away from your opponent.

The attacks use these directions along with the kick and PUNCH buttons. punching while pressing back will produce a different move than punching while pressing forward.

Press up to jump. To jump higher and farther, first press down then press up.

{SHADOWS ON}{SIZE 8}{COLOR:YELLOW}Defense

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT} To defend yourself against an attack while you're on the ground, press back without attacking (don't punch or kick). Your robot will block any type of move, except leg sweeps.

To block leg sweeps, press down-back. Pressing down-back will not block air attacks.

While airborne, you cannot defend any attack. Jump with caution.

{SHADOWS ON}{SIZE 8}{COLOR:YELLOW}Playing Tips{COLOR:DEFAULT}

{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7} Each pilot gives a robot an entirely new feel. Try several pilots and choose one that best suits your abilities. In a one player game, the computer will play the other pilots, using their individual personalities to guide the intelligence of the robots they wield.

Each robot has several special moves which are both undocumented and very powerful. To perform a special move, you need to combine controller movements and button presses in rapid succession. Watch the computer play to see some of the special moves, then try to do them yourself.

Example: Perform Jaguar's Concussion Cannon by pressing down-back-punch.

{SHADOWS ON}{SIZE 8}{COLOR:YELLOW}Combos
{SIZE 6}{COLOR:DEFAULT}
{SIZE 6}{SPACING 7}{COLOR:DEFAULT}
A combo is a series of two or more moves that, when performed in sequence, do considerable damage and cannot be blocked after the first hit.

Whenever you hit with a combo, you are awarded bonus points. If you want to be a truly outstanding player, master as many combos as you can find.

---First news report---
Do you want to fight this challenger?

---First news report---
And in other news, after ~1's fight tonight, ~2, an unranked competitor, has issued a public challenge to ~1.

---First news report---
Well, if ~8 accepts the challenge, you can bet your life I'll be there to watch the fight!

---First news report---
I sure hope you didn't miss this fight folks, because tonight we have a NEW CHAMPION.

---First news report---
~1 showed incredible abilities with the ~3 as ~2 became little more than a punching bag.

---Second news report---
This one, as well as other outstanding hits, have sent ~2 back to the shop for a while.

---First news report---
For all you folks that enjoy an evenly matched battle, I hope you didn't pay for the match at the ~5.

---Second news report---
...But for all you who like the occasional one-sided masochistic pouncing, then watch out for ~1.

---First news report---
Whoa, this challenger meant business tonight. ~1 could show the old pros a thing or two about that ~3.

---Second news report---
Check this action out. This is how ~2 looked the whole match: beaten, bruised, and bewildered.

---First news report---
The crowd cheered as ~2 was defeated in the remarkable showdown with ~1.

---Second news report---
~1 pleased excited onlookers with respectable skill. Here's the hit that ended the match.

---First news report---
~1 was looking good this evening. ~6 ~3 left the ~5 with only a few scars from ~6 overmatched opponent.

---Second news report---
~2 showed some pretty pathetic fighting skills, and ~1 took advantage of him. Just look at this hit.

---First news report---
The ~5 was rocked tonight by the impressive ~1. ~2 needs some more practice before ~11 can beat the likes of ~7.

---Second news report---
~4 parts littered the floor after repeated blows like this. Almost makes me feel sorry for ~2's repair crew.

---First news report---
~1 fought a respectable battle with ~2 and was victorious. Not half bad, ~1!

---Second news report---
They both did some damage, but ~1 ended the contest with this shot.

---First news report---
...And in the arena tonight, ~2 gave ~1 a run for ~6 money, but came up a few thousand credits short.

---Second news report---
~2 held in there for a while, but ~1 simply out-performed ~10 with moves like this.

---First news report---
All you arena junkies out there got a pretty good show at the ~5. ~2 fought with skill, but not enough...

---Second news report---
...to put down ~1's hulking ~3. Hey, maybe next time, ~2.

---First news report---
~1 and ~2 were evenly matched. The ~4 of ~2 will spend some time in the shop tonight!

---Second news report---
These two fought practically blow for blow until ~1 finally nailed ~2 with this well-timed shot.

---First news report---
I sure hope ~1 and ~2's repair crews didn't plan any parties tonight.

---Second news report---
With the mediocre performance by ~1, ~6 ~3 repair crew will be stuck in the shop almost as long as ~6 opponent's.

---First news report---
Now this was an even match-up if I've ever seen one. If they fought this match tomorrow, ~2 could just as easily win.

---Second news report---
~1's final, stumbling blow ended the match in what could only be called a fortunate victory.

---First news report---
Whew, ~2 really tore into ~1. ~1 should probably take that ~3 back to the training field.

---Second news report---
All I can say to ~1 is get some practice. That ~3 won't win without your help.

---First news report---
I'll sum this one up for all you sports fans in two words: TRACK MEET. ~2 ran circles around, and sometimes over,

---Second news report---
~1 and ~6 ill-fated ~3. ~1 should start making bets against ~7self if ~8's gonna take dives like this one.

---First news report---
My, my, my... Who had control of that ~3! Oh, it was ~1. Well, I have some advice for you, ~1.

---Second news report---
Duck, block, dodge, call in sick, do something other than take hit after hit from that ~4.

---First news report---
This match was pretty one sided. ~2 dominated the match against the overwhelmed ~1.

---Second news report---
The performance by ~2 was simply outstanding. ~1 couldn't react fast enough to stop the onslaught.

---First news report---
~2 really knows what he's doing out there, or maybe ~1 simply has no clue. Regardless, this was a blowout.

---Second news report---
There were a few lucky shots by ~1, but most of the time the match looked like this.

---First news report---
They must be pretty short on pilots these days to recruit the likes of ~1.

---Second news report---
I could have blocked this last hit in my sleep. Hey, maybe that's the problem. Somebody wake up ~1.

---First news report---
A good performance by ~1, but obviously not enough to rival ~2's ~4

---Second news report---
~1's prowess is obvious, but this shot really shows what a ~4 can do in the hands of ~2.

---First news report---
Ohh, a bad day in the life of ~1. Well, I'm sure ~2 won't shed any tears over ~6 loss.

---Second news report---
~1 landed some pretty good shots, but was worn down by ground shaking shots like this one.

---First news report---
Hmm.. ~1 showed some guts in the ~5 against ~2 tonight, but just didn't show enough skill.

---Second news report---
~1 stood ~6 ground courageously, but was eventually left lying on it. Well ~1, there's always tomorrow.

---First news report---
Nice try ~1. This was about as close as they come, folks. ~2 must be thankful for ...

---Second news report---
blows like this one. It was shots like this that kept ~2 just a half-step ahead of ~1.

---First news report---
Wow, this was a close one. ~1 and ~2 traded blows in the ~5 until...

---Second news report---
~2, fatigued and stumbling, landed this, the final blow. The next time these two meet, it'll be some rematch.

---First news report---
Folks, you've gotta feel a little sorry for ~1 tonight. If it weren't for ~2 landing...

---Second news report---
a few lucky blows like this one, I think ~1 would have pulled this one off.
