GAMEPLAY

The cheering from the ecstatic crowd fades away as you leave 
the safety of the studio and enter the first of the four 
insanely dangerous and devious, gaming arenas. Instantly 
you are set upon by hordes of thugs wielding baseba bats. 
Each with only one intent - beating the living daylights 
out of you! Deal with these guys if you can, there are lots 
of them. Use your skill to navigate the arenas and collect 
power-ups, speed ups, spinning shurikans, mace balls, 
grenade and rocket launchers, multiples and, of course, smart 
bombs. All of these items will increase your ability to wreak 
havoc upon the mindless meatheads. Watch out for mines though! 
Wall mounted gunners and tanks will constantly make your task 
just that bit harder than it already is. However, you will find 
yourself relentlessly driven on by the lure of the countless 
prizes awaiting you. It doesn't seem so bad to be risking life 
and limb when you are winning holidays, sleek roadsters, 
luggage and, of course, mindbending amounts of cash. As you 
progress through the game zones you will encounter floating 
droids, electric pulse generating orbs, poisonous snakes, 
walking time bombs, mutant lizard men, and countless other 
mechanical and biological opponents. However, you haven't seen 
the worst of it yet. Prepare yourself for the end-of-level 
baddies who will make you regret your decision to enter this
gladiatorial-like game at all! For example, at the end of level 
one, you will encounter a huge mutant skinhead on a tank. He 
will do his utmost to crush you underfoot (and track) - and he 
is the easiest opponent of them all! If you make it through all 
four of the nightmarish game zones you will confront your final 
and most lethal challenge. The game show host himself. Sounds 
easy? Think again - he's insane, enormous and can only understand 
one thing...

TOTAL CARNAGE

Defeat him if you can - the rewards are well worth it. 
Good luck, and remember...
