Anyone have a manual for Tronix Scorpion? Even just a scan!

Post by CannibalCat »

Hello, does anyone have a copy (or original) manual for the Tronix cart Scorpion? I'd take even a scan or photocopy if you had it.

Yeah, even a scan of it if it's no trouble. Are the enemies and names listed? Game rules, etc?

Use joystick to move scorpion. Press fire button to shoot predators or stun frogs.

F1 - restart game
F3 - select mode of play (demo, easy, normal, hard)
F5 - switch left/right handed mode
F7 - pause

As the scorpion, you must do two things well. Find food to bring home, and defend yourself against predators that abound in the maze. Watch your air!

Food exists in two forms, frog eggs and frogs. Eggs, naturally, come from the frogs. If you can locate the eggs and carry them home before they hatch, you will score points quickly. You have to be very good, fast and lucky to bring home all four eggs. But be careful, because once the eggs hatch into frogs, they become as dangerous as the other predators.

To catch a frog, you must first stun him, then carry him home quickly, because the frog only stays stunned briefly. If they wake up, they'll put you to sleep. Permanently.

Venus flytraps are harmless. They just get in the way. Shooting them is a vital source of oxygen, which can buy you more time. Worms, although dangerous, are slow and easily destroyed. They're also big targets. Dragons are smaller, faster and more elusive. Stalkers are everything that dragons are, just a whole lot more dangerous.

Finally, there is the Pod Mother. Her menacing figure will appear suddenly out of nowhere to swallow you. If you're quick enough to destroy her, you'll score big. And find yourself surrounded by six venomous new Pod Babies.
