Fortified Zone, by Jaleco, was released in 1991 for the original Game Boy. In
this game you played as one of two commandos infiltrating an enemy base. You
could use the link cable with a friend and play as both commandos, making the
game a whole lot funner.
Two commandos, one a male, and one a woman, glide down to the jungle on a hot,
humid night. Both are veteran spies sent on this mission with one requirement.
To infiltrate and destroy everything in the enemy base they were sent to.
Masasto is an expert commando. Because of his great size, he cannot jump.
However he makes this up in strength. Masasto is the commando that can use
weapons found along the hallways of the base.
Mizuki is an extremely agile warrior. Because of this she can jump. She isn't
well trained in weapons, however, so she cannot use weapons found in the
hallways.
Masasto:
A Button: Use special weapons found in hallway.
B Button: Shoot normal weapon.
Directional Pad: Move up, down, left, and right.
Start: Pause Game.
Select: Go to Menu Screen(Able to use items, or change characters).
Mizuki:
A Button: Jump.
B Button: Shoot weapon.
Directional Pad: Move up, down, left, and right.
Start: Pause Game.
Select: Go to Menu Screen(Able to use items, or change characters).
Keys: Keys are used to unlock locked doors in zones. A key can be used for any
lock. Most keys are gained from beating mini-bosses.
First-Aid Kit: A First-Aid Kit completely refills a character's life meter.
Life-Up: Acts the same as a First-Aid Kit, but also adds one section to a
character's life meter.
Bombs: These rare items can be set up in a place and do massive damage. Both
characters can use them, so keep an eye out for these rare treats.
Weapons:
Power-Up: This weapon enhancement upgrades the power of your character's main
weapon. Therefore, both Masasto and Mizuki can use this upgrade.
Range Boost: This weapon enhancement upgrades the range of your character's
main weapon. As started before, both characters can use this, since it upgrades
the main weapon.
Grenade: Both characters can use this weapon. Lob a grenade at some enemies,
and it will cause massive damage.
Flamethrower(Masasto only): This weapon will show enemies real "fire" power. It
is best used on the tougher enemies in the game.
Machine Gun(Masasto only): This gun with the "V" on it has a extremely high
velocity rate. It is best used when you need to fire real fast.
3-Way Gun(Masasto only): This gun shoots rounds in 3 different directions,
giving you the possibility on hitting 3 enemies at once. It is quite effective
in a room with many enemies in it.
You start out in a room with no enemies at all. I recommend using Masasto for
this level. Go left, into a room with 4 soldiers. Kill them all, pick up the 3-
Way gun power up that is usually there, and then proceed upwards. Take a left
through this room to the next room. After killing these soldiers, go downwards
and grab the life-up. Go back up to the room you just came from, and continue
upwards. Continue upwards again through this room, and you will find yourself
in a room facing a gun platform. Continuously fire at the platform while
dodging its fire. After you beat it, you will receive a key. Go back down to
the room you just came, and take a right. Defeat the soldiers in this room, and
go right again. You will find yourself facing a Jeep with 3-way shooting
capabilities. Dodge its fire and shoot at the engine. If you defeat it you will
receive another key. Continue right one more room, pick up the 3 First-Aid
kits, and prepare for your first boss battle. Continue upwards.
Stage 1 Boss: Field Guardian
The Field Guardian has heavy duty, strong cannons. However, you will soon
notice they can't fire everywhere. Find the safe spots, and fire into the base
of the cannons to take them out. This should be a very simple boss battle.
The jungle looks just like the field, except the enemies are quite faster and
tougher. I would recommend Mizuki for this level since the enemies are faster
then before. Start out by going all the way up until you cannot go up anymore.
Take a right, and defeat the jeep for your first key. Go back down to the
starting area, and go right two rooms. Defeat the truck, and gain another key.
Go back one room left, then go upwards two rooms. Take a right, then go through
the long hallway until you can only go upwards. Walk all the way to the left of
the second hallway, go up one room then go right. Grab the two First-Aid's and
prepare for your battle with the Super Tank.
Stage 2 Boss: Supertank
The Supertank has one main cannon and two 3-Way guns. Start off by repeatedly
shooting at the main cannon, dodging the return fire. Once you destroy the main
gun, stand on the sides and destroy the two 3-Way guns. Once they are
destroyed, the tank is finished and you have won!
You start on the first floor. Choose either character for this level, I don't
really have a preference. Start by going up a room, then left a room. Go down a
room. You will soon be in a dark hallway. Locate the control panel on one of
the walls, and shoot at it until the lights turn on.
