Greetings.  This is a guide for a game that...well, see the story section for
that.  I have hit an all-time low with this guide.  Seriously.  You are
General Custer.  Your goal is to get across the field and screw the Indian
lady waiting on you.  This is sick.  It's even sicker given the graphics.
Eww.

0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0

Originally I did this guide so I could have something to dedicate to my great-
great-great grandfather, General Custer.  Boy, was I wrong.  I'm still going
to dedicate it to him.  He was a good guy.  Loyal to America and to his
family.

And from the looks of this game, he was one lucky guy if you know what I mean.

And to Chris "Kao Megura" MacDonald.  May he rest in peace.

I had hoped that stick wasn't what I thought it was.  The story is copyrighted
to Mystique 1982.  All rights reserved.

"Foreplay

The object of the game is to use your joystick control to advance Custer acorss
the TV screen and "score" [good god] as many times as you can with the
beautiful maiden, all the time trying to avoid the arrows."

This is just scary.

The Atari controls are so simple!

--------------------
| Button | Function  |
|--------|-----------|
| Fire   | Enter her |
| Up     | Stop      |
| Down   | Stop      |
| Left   | Run left  |
| Right  | Run right |
--------------------

The difficult switch increases the speed of the game.

There are a total of four games.  Game one is a one player game where Custer
only has to avoid arrows.  Game two is the two player version of the same.
Game three involves Custer avoiding arrows and cactuses (wait for them to go
away; these are DISAPPEARING CACTUSES, BABY), and game four is the two player
version of game three.

In two player games, the players switch off.  When player one dies, player two
starts.

                              III. Walkthrough

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This game is simple and requires no walkthrough.  I'll give you the low-down
on what you should know, though.  Your enemies are arrows.  Arrows are those
pesky black things that come from the sky.  They're trying to interrupt your
sex!  There's only one thing to do about that.  Sadly, this isn't real life,
and you can't work it into the sex.  So you just have to dodge the arrows.
[Insert shaft of the arrow joke here]

Basically all you do is run over to the Indian lady, have some good ol' fashion
western fun, and back off if you see an arrow coming!  The cactuses only get in
the way when you are running back to the Indian maiden.

Every 50 points, you get an extra life.  You don't seem to be able to have more
than five extra lives (plus the one you're using) at any given time.  With
each extra life, the arrows and cacti come faster.  Of course, if you're
playing with the cactuses, everything is fast enough.  When you receive said
extra life, you have to start over from the left side of the screen.

And that's all there is to this game!

Before emailing me, please make sure that whatever question you have wasn't
addressed here in the guide.  If it's not a question (i.e. input, suggestion,
correction, etc.), please go ahead and email me.  I'm not too picky about
grammar, but if I have no idea what you're saying, I might ask for some
clarification.  I'll take emails in Spanish or English.  Doesn't matter to
me.  No me importa.

I'd appreciate whatever you've got.  Questions (again, as long as it's not
answered here), inputs about ideas that I've raised, suggestions or corrections
for the guide, requests for using parts of the guide, problems in life, jokes
(as bad as some of these are in the guide), praise emails (ha!), or whatever
else is on your mind.

Email: meowthnum1 [at] meowthnum1 [dot] com

I wasn't too bad about doing the spam thing at first.  Now half of my emails
are virus emails.  Just replace the [at] with @ and the [dot] with ..

You could also use AIM.  I'd prefer these be quick questions, but I really
can't stop you from long, involved ones.  To be honest, I prefer emails.  AIM
is still here.  That's TracesWritingAIM.

I've enjoyed writing this guide.  I hope you enjoy the game.  General Custer
is a real man.  I doubt he'd be cuddling (while arrows abound)!  I feel so
dirty after writing for this game.
