***********************1. 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.

+ Sign= 1 Health Restored
+++ Sign= Full Health
One Red Tank= 1 Extra Life
Three Red Tanks= 3 Extra Lives

$ Sign= 1,000 Extra Points
Cents Sign= 1 Extra Points

*************************4. Enemies (ENMIS)*****************************


This section will tell a description of each enemy you can find in the
game, what I will call them in this FAQ, what their shooting pattern is
(big or little bullets, etc.), how many shots it takes to kill them,
and their difficulty rating.

*********************5. Level Walkthroughs (LVLWT)**********************

after the name of an enemy it means you must destroy it to beat the
level.

This is a boss level where you have to beat Spinneret. There are four
Health Boxes each at every corner or the level. At the beginning when
he extends his four arms and starts spinning around you just have to
drive away from them or you will lose health. When he takes his arms
back in start shooting at where he took his arms back in. If you shoot
enough, one of his arms will blow up. When he extends his remaining
arms, he will spin faster. Continue doing this until all of his arms
blow up. When you blow up all of his arms he will start spinning around
and shooting lasers. Strafe to avoid the laser while you shoot at the
guns he has. Every time you blow up one of the four guns he will spin
and shoot even faster. When all of the guns are destroyed you have
destroyed him and you can move on to the next level.
