Introduction (INTRO)************************** Combat is a game where you maneuver a tank through different levels and try to survive as long as you can without blowing up. I rate this game 7/10. It takes about 20 minutes to completely learn how to play. ************************2. How to Play (HWTPL)************************** The How to Play section has two parts. The two parts are Controls and General Game play. Controls tells you all the different controls in the game. General Game play tells you about other important things in the game. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2a. Controls (CTRLS)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Up Arrow= Forward Down Arrow= Backwards Left Arrow= Turn Left Right Arrow= Turn Right Space= Shoot Z= Strafe Left C= Strafe Right X= Emergency Brake F5= Change View P= Pause >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2b. General Game Play (GRLGP)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< To open a door, drive your tank up to it. Drive onto buttons to active special actions. Follow green arrows on the ground, They can help you find out where you have to go in a level. After you have done what you have to in a level, drive into the big black org to finish the level. You have four things in the top left of corner of your screen. The red rectangles are your health, you lose health by running into enemies or getting shot by enemies. The pictures of red tanks are your lives, you lose lives by falling off the edge of a level or running out of health. To get lives back you have to get 10,000 points. The first row of numbers that are white are you current points, you get points by killing enemies, finishing a level with full health, or finishing a level very fast. The second row of numbers that is grey is the high score for that level. ************************3. Power Ups (PWRUP)**************************** This section covers the different power ups in this game. Powerups are the little square boxes that you can find through out levels. Below it will describe what the power up looks like on one side and what it does. If it says (TEMP) next to the effect it mean it only lasts for a little bit.
