Dr. Chaos Story
It had been three months since Michael last heard from his brother. He grew
impatient as he waited for his letter.
He waited for another month, but to no avail. With some concern Michael began
to suspect that something had happened to him.
Michael's brother, Doctor Ginn Chaos, was a genius in physics specializing in
warp zones. He knew that the experiment on warp zones could bring hazardous
results, so he conducted research alone at his lab in a remote village.
He sent Michael a research report every month. According to the last report,
Dr. Chaos had succeeded in creating warp zones. He seemed to have continued
his research on the effects of such space on a living body.
Michael decided to go to his brother's lab. The lab stood in a quiet evening,
but it didn't look like anything existed inside.
Gathering his courage, Michael stepped inside the house. In the silent hallway,
he saw only rats and bats. On a desk near the doorway he found his brother's
diary. On the last page he read:
"Month_____ Day_____
I made a great mistake. I overlooked the effect of warp zones on living
organisms. It was too late when I realized this. The living things in the warp
zone had grown so big that they began to take over my house. The warp zone can
swallow you up at any time. Open one of the doors to the warp zone and you
will be attacked by these monsters. I have been trying to invent machines to
stop the monsters but I am not sure if I still have time. My brother Michael,
if you happen to read this diary, you are the only one who can stop this
situation."
Michael searched for the machines, but could not find them. The monsters com-
ing out of the warp zones must have grabbed them away. He had to do something
about this before someone fell victim to the monsters. With a knife in his
hand, Michael kicked open the door....

This Game Consists of Three Screens
1. Hallway Screen
The screen shows the hallway lined with doors to each room. The house has
three floors and a basement. There is a stairway from the first floor to the
second. If you need to go to the third floor, or to the basement, you have to
find another way to do it.
If you want to enter the room, push up on button + in front of the door.
2. Room Screen
This screen indicated the location of the room. The room consists of four
panels of East, West, North and South. When Michael enters the room, the hand
(icon) appears. You can move the icon by pushing button +. If you try to move
the icon beyond the edge of the screen, it changes the direction it faces.
Select Command by moving button + up and down, while pressing button B. Push
button A to activate commands.
On the Room Screen, you have to find weapons, medicines for Michael to recover
energy, and entrances to the warp zones. When a monster jumps out of an open
door, Michael is automatically thrown out into the hallway. (He cannot go back
to the room once the battle starts.)
3. Warp Screen
In the rooms, you can find hidden entrances to the warp zone. There are more
monsters on the warp screen than on any other screen and they are stronger
than any of the other monsters in the game.

Extra Hints
In order to rescue Dr. Ginn Chaos and save the world, Michael has to find
eleven different warp zones, and destroy eleven big monsters. On his way, he
has to face many different kinds of monsters. Here's some advice for you.
- Look for the ultraspace sensor first.
You can't enter other warp zones without the ultraspace sensor. Find this
sensor first. Then look for other warp zones.
- Doors are not the only entrances to the rooms.
In some cases, you might be able to move from one room to another by pene-
trating the wall. Give it a shot and knock on the wall.
