Your GAME BOY now takes you to a new realm-the open seas! With Radar Mission,
you'll be able to play two completely different games: GAME A is a strategic
battle against the enemy fleet (good thing you have radar!) GAME B is a fast
action torpedo game where you're sure to end up all wet if you're not
careful.
RADARMISSION
Radar Mission is twice as fun in the 2 PLAYER mode. Grab a friend, a Game
Link cable, another GAME BOY and another Radar Mission Game Pak for head to
head intense naval confrontations!

CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
How to select game A or B
(1) Before Starting Play
Correctly insert the Game Pak into the GAME BOY. After you turn the power ON,
"Nintendo" will appear on the screen, followed by the title sequence.
(2) Title Screen
When the title screen is displayed, you can select GAME A or B, or a 1 PLAYER
or 2 PLAYER game. Select GAME A or B using the UP/DOWN arrow buttons of the
Control Pad. Select a 1 PLAYER or 2 PLAYER game using the LEFT/RIGHT arrows
on the Control Pad. After you select the desired mode, press the START
Button.
In a 1 PLAYER game, you play against the computer (VS COM). In a 2 PLAYER
game, you can play against a human opponent. You need 2 GAME BOYs, 2 Radar
Mission Game Paks and 1 Game Link cable to play a 2 PLAYER game.
You cannot select a 2 PLAYER game if the Game Link cable is not connected.

HOW TO PLAY GAME A
In GAME A, you must strategically place your ships and try to figure out
where the enemy has placed theirs. Whoever sinks the other team's ships first
wins! Here's how to play:
(1) The Option Screen
Use the Control Pad to move the cursor and the A Button to change the
options.
GRID You can change the size of your grid to 8x8, 10x10, or 12x12. The
larger the grid size is, the harder it will be for the enemy to find
you.
AIRCRAFT After a certain amount of turns, if the aircraft carrier on a side
is not destroyed, an airplane will be launched. This plane will
then circle around the aircraft carrier.
NEAR MISS If your shot is one space to the left, right, top or bottom of a
ship, you will hear a special sound and see a large splash.
LUCKY SHOT Lucky stars are located somewhere on the grid. If you hit one,
you will get a special attacking power for your next turn.
WHITE STAR You can attack 5 squares at once. (In a 12x12 grid, you can
attack 9 squares at once.)
BLACK STAR Your shot will destroy the ship that it hits and destroy all
ships touching it. (You cannot do this in an 8x8 grid 2 PLAYER
game or in the first stage of an 8x8 1 PLAYER game. This special
power does not work on enemy aircraft.)
- At the end of the game, press the B Button to see where the lucky stars
were hidden.

OFFICER IN COMMAND
In a 1 PLAYER game, you can choose the officer in command of the enemy fleet.
You can choose between 3 different officers. You can also change the
appearance of your own officer in command.
* Had pictures showing what they look like above the text below:

When you have finished making changes, move the cursor to START and press the
A Button. The enemy general and the enemy fleet will appear. Press the A
Button again to go on to the next screen.

(2) Arranging Your Fleet
Ships
Type Features Size
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destroyer Small, high-speed ship 2 Blocks
Cruiser Medium sized ship with cruising pewer 3 Blocks
Submarine An underwater ship 3 Blocks
Battleship Powerful main ship with big guns 4 Blocks
Aircraft Carrier A huge ship carrying airplanes 5 Blocks
Airplanes Airplanes that launch from the aircraft carriers 1 Block
* Page 8
How To Arrange Your Fleet
The message "ARRANGE YOUR FLEET" will appear on the screen. Press the A
Button to continue.
If you want to change the position of a ship, put the cursor on it and press
the B Button.
Then bring the cursor to the desired position on the grid and press the A
Button.
While the ship is flashing, you can change the ship's direction with the
Control Pad. Press the A Button to lock it in.
When all ships are placed correctly, press the START Button.
If there are no more changes, bring the cursor to YES and press the A Button.
You are now ready to start battle!
In a 2 PLAYER game, the first player to arrange their ships gets to shoot
first.
You can use the B Button to take more than one ship off of the arranging
screen at a time. If you do this, use the SELECT Button to choose between
the different ships.
It is wise to leave some space around your aircraft carrier or else your
airplanes will have nowhere to fly.
* Page 9
(3) READY! Battle!
In a 1 PLAYER game, you will always get to go first.
Attack Phase
Move the cursor to your desired attacking point on the grid and press the A
Button to shoot. During the attack phase, you can review the status of your
ships by pressing the B Button or the SELECT Button. On the right side of the
screen you'll see a picture of the enemy's initial fleet. Below that is a
display that shows how many of those ships are still afloat.
Defense Phase
On this screen, you can watch as the enemy attacks you. In a 2 PLAYER game
you should always by to fake out your opponent.
After one attack and one defense phase has ended, it is called one turn. The
first to destroy the other fleet is the winner.
* Page 10
Playing Against The Computer
In a 1 PLAYER game, you must defeat the computer three times to claim
ultimate victory. With each round you win, you get closer to enemy
headquarters. At each level the computer controlled enemy will come at you
with new fighting power. From the second battle onward, only one of your
destroyed ships will be repaired at the end of each round. (When only
aircraft remain, your aircraft carrier will be repaired.)
