The Hunt

The Year: 2242. You are Paladin, the toughest bounty hunter in the galaxy. Monstrous Cyborgs are threatening to take control of the universe under the direction of their evil leader, Vipron. Your mission is to gain access to Vipron's chambers and destroy him. Sound easy enough? It isn't. Once inside the forbidding Cyborg fortress, you'll have to fight your way through seven separate Cyborg-infested areas, each having five levels. Warp-speed elevators will transport you to each level.

At the beginning of the hunt, your only weapons are your fists, stamina, and your ability to outwit the onslaught of deadly Cyborg guards. You'll have to pick up additional weapons and equipment as you travel through each area. To test your wits even further, you'll need ID Cards to access some areas of the fortress.

Fortunately, you're not alone. Adina, your contact back at headquarters, will provide some vital clues that may save your life. And split-screen technology will alert you to the deadly enemies that lurk ahead.

Preparing for the Hunt

  1. Make sure the power switch is off, then insert the CYBORG HUNTER cartridge into the Power Base.
  2. Plug in both Control Pads.
  3. Turn on the power switch.
  4. Once the title screen appears, press Button #1 to start your quest.
  5. Press the Pause Button on your Power Base to pause the game during play; press it again to resume play.

The Cyborg Fortress

The first stop on your quest is the Area Selection Screen. Move to the right by holding down the RIGHT directional arrow. Adina, your contact at headquarters, will appear with vital instructions. To continue reading her instructions, press Button #1. When her message is completed, press Button #1 to return to the Area Selection Screen. The Cyborg Fortress is divided into four sections:

Section 1 - Areas A, B, C

Section 4 - Area G (Vipron is here.)

Each section contains Lower Cyborgs, Chief Cyborgs, and a Cyborg boss. You must defeat the Cyborg boss to gain an ID Card for access to the next section.

To enter an area, move to the marked door using the LEFT or RIGHT directional arrows. Once in front of the door, push the UP directional arrow. You'll be automatically transported to the area you have selected. (At the beginning of the game, you may only enter Areas A, B, and C. As Adina will tell you, it's best to enter Area A first.)
