HOW FAR WILL YOU GO FOR THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS?
A long, black cottonmouth quietly snakes across the porch of your Bayou
Bungalow, his moist back shining in the moonlight. But you pay no mind to
your visitor. You're too lost in love after walking your best girl, Annabelle
(the sweetest honey this side of a bee's nest), home from the Jambalaya
Jamboree, where you romantlcally bobbed for crawdads and shared a bowl of
fillet gumbo. You're also satisfied from smashing Gordon's (the gangster king
of Bourbon Street) Red Bean 'n Rice Warehouse, the fabled headquarters of a
global smuggling network.
Suddenly, a speeding limo peels across your moss infested lawn. Bullets
strafe your gutters, scaring birds from their roosts and driving you to the
ground. When the smoke clears, you see a rock beside your head with a note
attached. It reads: "Dear Mista Bayou Billy, Cause of your meddlin' in my
livelihood, I've taken measures to end your hankerin' for bravery. Your
cherished Annabelle is hold up here on my plantation and lessin' you stop
messin' with my business she ain't never gonna grace your neck of the swamp
again I Threateningly yours. Gordo." You crumple the note and holler like a
riled gator. Fire dances in your eyes, and sweat beads on your hands and
forehead. You reach for your foot long blade, knowing what you must do.
HOW TO PLAY
Rescuing your beloved Annabelle is anything but easy, and you'll have to be
willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the ultimate Cajun Queen. Nine
perilous stages await your backwater courage, as you tangle with maneating
crocodiles pistol totin' henchmen and armed limos. You've even got to be on
the lookout for bomb dropping Cessnas (and you thought pigeons were a
menace). Along the way, from the slimy swamp to the Gangster King's rat
packed piantation, be sure to pick up weapons and supplies left behind by
ruthless gang members.
To begin, choose the game you wish to play - either Game A or Game B - on the
title screen. Do so by moving the Cursor using the Select Button, and then
press the start Burton. If you select Game A, you'll use the Gun System
during Stage 7. If you selecrt Game B, you'll use the Controller during Stage 7.
(For details on how to use the Gun System, see the gun handling manual from
your Nintendo. To use the Controller as a firearm, see page 6 of this
instruction book.)
You can also choose the Training Mode. During this mode you'll practice
street fighting, gun shooting or car driving. The final option offered on the
opening screen is the Game Sound Effects mode. In this mode you can listen to
all of the music and sound effects from the game. To operate, simply move the
cursor up or down using the Select Button to pick your favorite tune. Start
the music by pressing the B Button. Stop it by pressing the A Button. The
game ends when the life meter of your third and final man dwindles to zero,
or when you rescue Annabelle from the clutches of that mafia menace.
By the way-if you're wonderin' if all this fightin' and a drivin' and a
shootin' is worthwhile, just ask any red blooded fella who's ever seen
Annabelle. He'll tell ya that the risks are well worth the reward!
THE HERO AND THE HEROINE
