From: tsrken@voicenet.com NES-M4-USA The Mafat Conspiracy(tm) Instruction Booklet Vic Tokai(tm) --- [1] Introduction March, 1990 As part of America's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI or "Star Wars") an experimental satellite, SK2, was recently launched into earth orbit. For some unknown reason the satellite has apparently fallen out of orbit and crashed into the Alps. A few days ago, threatening letters were simultaneously received in Washington and the Kremlin. The author of these letters signed in the name of the Mafat Revolutionary Group. At first, however, the existence of this group could not be verified. Subsequently, terrorists demanded that the American government provide them with the submarine, Los Angeles, a ship carrying missiles with nuclear war- heads. Furthermore, they demanded that the Soviets turn over their research on the military application of electromagnetic waves. The group is reported to have stated "Unless our demands are met, the satel- lites of the United States and the Soviet Union will fall!" The disappearance of the SK2 is testimony to the group's power to follow through on its threats. Confusion and tension has led both the American and Soviet governments to accuse each other of an insidious plot. Pressure between East and West is once again on the rise. Meanwhile, Washington has ordered the CIA to investigate the so-called Mafat Revolutionary Group. It now appears that Mafat does indeed exist. However, its aims, leadership, and base of operations are unknown. The CIA also reports that Dr. Barrows, the brains behind the satellite capture technology also disappeared several years ago in England, is rumored to be under confinement somewhere in Paris. As The Mafat Conspiracy is about to unfold, we know that the CIA has delivered an urgent request to Golgo 13, the ace sharpshooter. The directive apparently asks Golgo 13 to: (1) Eliminate the leader of the Mafat Revolutionary Group. (2) Destroy the Satellite Capture System. (3) Bring back Dr. Barrows alive. As we begin, Golgo 13 has accepted the CIA directive, and has left for Paris. --- [2] Winning Techniques First of all, you should be aware that there are five different types of screens in The Mafat Conspiracy: a horizontally scrolling screen when shooting action occurs, a 3-d screen when Golgo 13 is driving his Ferrari, a 3-d screen for the mazes, a stationary screen, and the sniper mode screen. There are occasions when you can meet people who can supply you with infor- mation or weapons. You must make the most of these opportunities; the infor- mation may be available only one time. Be attentive. There is a time limit when you are in the driving sequences and in the 3-d mazes. Monitor your ammunition and life points carefully. Warnings !! - Do not waste your bullets. You will need them to get at your enemies from long range. - Do not forget to make a map of the maze on the 3-d screen. You will undoubt- edly find a short cut that will help you later on. - Failing to pay attention to the information that pops up in the conversation windows will mean trouble for you later on. - Be sensible about the time you spend on this and any video game. You will need to rest your eyes and wits to play well. --- [3] Using the Controller This is a single-player game.
